Work done and total heat transfer for piston-cylinder device
Hi everybody, this question is on an old exam paper given to us for exam prep purposes. No answers have been supplied however. Am I on the right track?
Question: A mass of 0.2kg of saturated refrigerant-134a is contained in a piston-cylinder device at 200kPa. Initially 75% of the mass is in the liquid phase. Now heat is transferred to the refrigerant at constant pressure until the cylinder contains only vapor. Determine: a) the work done, and b) the total heat transfer Assumptions: Piston-cylinder device is frictionless, constant pressure, quasi-equilibrium, no heat lost to surroundings a) the work done Formula: W = P (V2-V1) where, V2 = Volume at state 2 V1 = Volume at state 1 P = Pressure W = Boundary work Properties: P = 200 kPa V2 = 0.2 x vg where vg = 0.099867 (gas table) = 0.0199734 m3/kg V1 = 0.2 x (0.75 x vf + 0.25 x vg) = 0.005106345 m3/kg Analysis: W = P(V2-V1) = 200 x (0.0199734 - 0.005106345) = 3.89 kJ boundary work b) total heat transfer Formula: Q = h2 - h1 where, Q = total heat transferred h2 = Enthalpy state 2 h1 = Enthalpy state 1 Properties: h2 = hg = 244.46 kJ/kg (from gas tables) h1 = .75 x hf + .25 x hg = .75 x 38.43 + .25 x 244.46 = 89.9375 kJ/kg Analysis: Q = h2 - h1 = 244.46 - 89.9375 = 154.52 kJ heat |
