Determine the phase or phases in a system consisting of H2O at the following
conditions and sketch p-v and T-v diagrams showing the location of each state
(a) p = 5 bars, T = 151.9ºC
(b) p = 5 bars, T = 200ºC
(c) T = 200ºC, p = 2.5 MPa

(d) ºC p = 4.8 bars

Determine the quality of a two-phase liquid-vapor mixture of
(a) H2O at 100°C with a specific volume of 0.8 m3/kg
(b) Refrigerant 134a at 0°C
0 C with a specific volume of 0 7721 cm3/g

(c) Ammonia at -40°C with a specific volume of 1 m3/kg
(d) Refrigerant 22 at 1 MPa with a specific volume of 0.0054 m3/kg

A closed vessel with a volume of 0.018 m3 contains 1.2 kg of Refrigerant 22 at 10

bars. Determine the temperature, in °C.

Water vapor is heated in a closed, rigid tank from saturated vapor at 160°C to a final
temperature of 400°C. Determine the initial and final pressures, in bars, and sketch
the process on T-v and p-v diagrams
EXAMPLES
Water vapor initially at 100 lbf/in2, 400°F, is compressed slowly. Heat transfer occurs
to maintain the temperature constant. Determine the pressure, in lbf/in2, and the
specific volume in ft3/lb, when the vapor becomes saturated.

A rigid tank initially contains 3 kg of saturated water vapor at 140°C. Heat transfer
occurs, and the pressure drops to 200 kPa. Kinetic and potential energy effects are
negligible. For the water as the system, determine the amount of energy transfer by
heat, in kJ.

A quantity of water is at 15 MPa and 100°C. Evaluate the specific volume, in m3/kg,
and the specific enthalpy, in kJ/kg, using
(a) Data from Table A-5
(b) Saturated liquid data from Table A-2
