A closed, rigid container of volume 0.5m³ is placed on a hot plate. Initially, the container holds a two-phase mixture of saturated liquid water and saturated water vapor at p₁-3 bar with a quality of 50%. The mixture is heated at constant volume until the mixture contains purely saturated vapor. Evaluate the work in k

A rigid tank whose volume is unknown is divided into two parts by a partition. One side of the tank contains an ideal gas at 927 deg C. The other side is evacuated and has a volume twice the size of the part containing the gas. The partition is now removed, and the gas expands to fill the entire tank. Heat is now applied to the gas until the pressure equals the initial pressure. Determine the final temperature of the gas.

The air in an automobile tire with a volume of 1.23 ft3 is at 72°F and 0.5 bar. Determine the amount of air that must be added to raise the pressure to the recommended value of 1 bar Assume the atmospheric to be 14.7 psia and the temperature and the volume to remain constant.

Determine the volume flow rate and the density of carbon dioxide at the inlet and the volume flow rate at the exit of the pipe using (a) the ideal-gas equation and (b) the generalized compressibility chart. Also, determine (c) the error involved in the first case.
