Question

Steam at 75 kPa and 8 percent quality is contained in a spring-loaded piston–cylinder device, as shown in Figure, with an initial volume of 2 m3 . Steam is now heated until its volume is 5 m3 and its pressure is 225 kPa. Determine the heat transferred to and the work produced by the steam during this process.
​

Answer 1

The heat transferred to and the work produced by the steam during this process  is 13781.618 kJ/kg

​How to calcultae the heat?

The Net Change in Enthalpy will be:

= m ( h2 - h1 ) = 11.216 ( 1755.405 - 566.78 ) = 13331.618 kJ/kg

Work Done (Area Under PV curve) = 1/2 x (P1 + P2) x ( V1 - V2)

= 1/2 x ( 75 + 225) x (5 - 2)

W = 450 KJ

From the First Law of Thermodynamics, Q = U + W

So, Heat Transfer = Change in Internal Energy + Work Done

= 13331.618 + 450

Q = 13781.618 kJ/kg
