Steam is held in two compartments separated by a membrane. The total volume is 777 ft3, and the volume of compartment B is 280 ft3. The specific volume of the steam in B is 9.5 ft3/lbm. The membrane breaks and the resulting specific volume is 12.75 ft3/lbm. Determine the original specific volume in compartment A in ft3/lbm.

A piston-cylinder contains 2 lbm of water. The initial volume is 0.1 ft3. The piston rises, causing the volume to double. Determine the final specific volume of the water.
Assuming compression is according to the law PV = constant. Calculate the initial volume of gas at a pressure of 2 bar which will occupy a volume of 6 cubic meters when it is compressed to a pressure of 42 bar.
A system including a movable part, a piston, undergoes two stages. In the first stage, the system is compressed at a constant temperature. Here, the volume of the system reduces from 1.8 to 0.4 liters as a result of this process.In the second stage, heat is supplied to the system at the resulting constant pressure which was obtained at the end of the first stage.If at the beginning of the first stagethe pressure is1 atm, what would be the volume of this system after supplying 320 kJ of heat to the systemin the second stage? www
Q2: A gas is contained in a vertical, frictionless piston-cylinder device. The piston has a mass of 3.2 kg and a cross-sectional area of 35 cm2. A compressed spring above the piston exerts a force of 150 N on the piston. If the atmospheric pressure is 95 kPa, determine the pressure inside the cylinder.
A cylindrical vessel with a diameter of 8 inches and 5 feet long contained acetylene at 300 psi gauge and 82°F. After some amount of acetylene was used, the pressure was reduced to 190 psi gauge and the temperature was 74°F. The gas constant of acetylene is 59.35 ft-lb:/lbm-°R. Determine the following: 1. What is the initial mass in Ibm of the acetylene inside the vessel? 2. What proportion in percentage of acetylene was used? 3. What volume in ft would the used acetylene occupy at 30 psig and 80°F?
A pressure cooker operates by cooking food at a higher pressure and temperature than is possible at atmospheric conditions. Steam is contained in the sealed pot, with a small vent hole in the middle of the cover, allowing steam to escape. The pressure is regulated by covering the vent hole with a small weight, which is displaced slightly by the escaping steam. Atmospheric pressure is 1 bar, the vent hole area is 7mm2, and the pressure inside should be 2.75 bar. What is the mass in kg of the small weight?
