Chapter 5.5, Problem 115P
A 0.2-m3 rigid tank equipped with a pressure regulator contains steam at 2 MPa and 300°C. The steam in the tank is now heated. The regulator keeps the steam pressure constant by letting out some steam, but the temperature inside rises. Determine the amount of heat transferred when the steam temperature reaches 500°C.

A piston-cylinder device contains 1 kg of hydrogen gas at 1600 kPa and 1327°C. Hydrogen gas is now
allowed to cool at constant pressure until the temperature drops to 127°C. This is then followed by a
second process in which the gas undergoes a constant volume process to a pressure of 400 kPa. In the
final process, the gas is compressed in an isothermal process to a pressure of 1000 kPa. Using the gas
constant, R of 4.12 kJ/kg.K for hydrogen,

ii. Show and label all the processes on a P-V diagram.
iii. Determine the mass of the air in your bedroom (kg).
iv. Can the temperature and volume of the air in your bedroom be used to determine all the other
properties of the air in your bedroom. Provide a brief explanation for your answer.
