Problem 3.2

Given:   A gas contained in a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes a thermodynamic cycle consisting of three processes in series.

                Process 1-2: P1 = 1 bar, V1 = 1.5 m3, compression with PV = constant, 1W2 = -104 kJ, U1 = 512 kJ, U2 = 690 kJ

                Process 2-3: 2W3 = 0, 2Q3 = -150 kJ

                Process 3-1: 3W1 = 50 kJ

                Changes in kinetic and potential energy may be neglected.

Find:      a)1Q2, 3Q1, and U3 (kJ) and b) state whether this is a power cycle?

Assume:

Problem 3.3

Given:   For a power cycle the heat transfers are Qin = 55 kJ and Qout = 35 kJ.  

Find:      a) Make a schematic of the power cycle as shown in Figure 2.17 and write the correct heat transfer values into the diagram. b) Calculate the net work and c) thermal efficiency.


Problem 3.4

Given:   A refrigeration cycle operates with a coefficient of performance of 1.5.  For the cycle Qout = 500 kJ.

Find:      a) Make a schematic of the refrigeration cycle as shown in Figure 2.17 and write the correct heat transfer value into the diagram. b) Calculate the Qin and c) Wcycle.

Problem 3.5

Given:   Water at the following states

                a) P = 5 bar, T = 151.9oC

                b) P = 5 bar, T = 200oC

                c) T = 200oC, P = 2.5 MPa

                d) T = 160oC, P = 4.8 bar

                e) T = -12oC, P = 1 bar

Find:      a) For each of the states, determine whether the water is compressed liquid, saturated liquid, mixed liquid/vapor, saturated vapor, or superheated vapor.  b) Draw P-v and T-v diagrams and show the location of each state.  See Example problem 3.1 to see an example of sketching P-v and T-v diagrams.

Explanation / Answer

1Q2=690-512+104=282kJ;

U3-U2=0-150=>U3=U2-150=540kJ;

3Q1+1Q2+2Q3= -104+50 =>3Q1 = -54-150+282=78kJ;

yes this is a power cycle as work is done
