One kg of water in a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes two processes in series from an initial state where p1 = 0.8 MPa, T1 = 500°C: Process 1-2: Constant-pressure compression until the volume is half of the initial volume. Process 2-3: Constant-volume cooling until the pressure drops to 400 kPa. Sketch the two processes in series on a p-v and T-v diagram. Determine the work and heat transfer for both processes.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas in a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes three processes in series that begin and end at the same state (a cycle). Process 1–2: Expansion from state 1 where p1 = 10 bar, V1 = 1 m3, to state 2 where V2 = 4 m3. During the process, pressure and volume are related by pV1.5 = constant. Process 2–3: Constant volume heating to state 3 where p3 = 10 bar. Process 3–1: Constant pressure compression to state 1. Sketch...

A piston–cylinder assembly contains ammonia, initially at a temperature of -20°C and a quality of 50%. The ammonia is slowly heated to a final state where the pressure is 6 bar and the temperature is 100°C. While the ammonia is heated, its pressure varies linearly with specific volume.

Water, initially (state 1) a saturated liquid at 1100C, is contained in a piston-cylinder assembly. The water undergoes a process to the corresponding saturated vapor (state 2), during which the piston moves freely in the cylinder. If the change of state is brought about by heating the water as it undergoes an internally reversible process at constant pressure and temperature, determine (a) heat transfer using first law of thermodynamics in kJ/kg and (b) heat transfer using second law of thermodynamics...
