Two pounds mass of water in a piston–cylinder assembly, initially a saturated liquid at 45 lbf/in2, undergoes a constant pressure, internally reversible expansion to x2 = 90%. For this reversible process, determine the work by integrating p dV and the heat transfer by integrating T dS, each in Btu.

In a piston cylinder system, a fluid at 0.8 bar occupying 0.07 m³ is compressed reversibly to a pressure of 10.2 bar and specific volume of 0.6 m³/kg according to the law p = c. The fluid then expands reversibly according to the law pv² = c to 1.1 bar. A reversible cooling at constant volume then restores the fluid back to initial state. Calculate the net work for the process in Joules. To 3 d.p. and insert the unit symbol joules.

Five kilograms of a two-phase liquid-vapor mixture of water initially at 300\deg C and x1 = 0.5 is heated from the initial state to a saturated vapor state while the volume remains constant. The process is brought about by heat transfer from a thermal reservoir at 380\deg C. The temperature of the water at the location where the heat transfer occurs is 380\deg C.Let To = 300 K, Po = 1 bar, and ignore the effects of motion and gravity.

Thermodynamics A Piston-Cylinder system initially contains R-134a refrigerant at a temperature of 2.8 bar and 40 C, and its initial volume is 0.1 m3. First, heat is transferred to the system by keeping the piston constant and this process is continued until the pressure is 3.2 bar. the process is maintained by allowing the volume to change. At the end of this process, the temperature reaches 50C. Assuming the state changes as if balanced, calculate the following: a)He amount of heat transferred during constant pressure operation b)Show the state changes on the P-v diagram.
