The molecules in a SOLID are kept at their positions by the large spring like inter-molecular forces.

In a solid, the attractive and

repulsive forces between the

molecules tend to maintain them at

relatively constant distances from

each other.

The arrangement of atoms in different phases: (a) molecules are at relatively fixed positions in a solid, (b) groups of molecules move about each other in the LIQUID phase, and (c) molecules move about at random in the GAS phase.

A rigid tank contains 50 kg of saturated liquid water at 90 oC. Determine the pressure in the tank and the volume of the tank.

Solution

The state of the saturated liquid water is shown on a T-v diagram. Since saturation conditions exist in the tank, the pressure must be the saturation pressure at 90 oC.

P = Psat@90oC = 70.14 kPa (Table A-4)

The specific volume of the saturated liquid at 90 oC is

v = vf@90oC = 0.001036 m3/kg (Table A-4)

Then the total volume of the tank is

V = mv = (50 kg)(0.001036 m3/kg) = 0.0518 m3

A piston-cylinder device contains 2 ft3 of saturated water vapor at 50-psia pressure. Determine the temperature and the mass of the vapor inside the cylinder.

Solution

The state of the saturated water vapor is shown on a P-v diagram. Since the cylinder contains saturated vapor at 50 psia, the temperature inside must be the saturation temperature at this pressure.

T = Tsat@90oC = 281.03 oF (Table A-5E)

The specific volume of the saturated vapor at 50 psia is;

v = vf@50 psia = 8.518 ft3/lbm (Table A-5E)

Then the mass of water vapor inside the cylinder becomes;

A mass of 200 g of saturated liquid water is completely vaporized at a constant pressure of 100 kPa. Determine (a) the volume change and (b) the amount of energy added to the water. Solution (a) The process described is illustrated in a P-v diagram. The volume change per unit mass during a vaporization process is vfg, which is the

difference between vg and vf.

Reading these values from Table A-5 at 100 kPa and substituting yield

vfg = vg - vf = 1.6940 – 0.001043 = 1.6930 m3/kg

Thus, ∆V = mvfg = (0.2 kg) (1.6930 m3/kg) = 0.3386 m3

(b) The amount of energy needed to vaporize a unit mass of a substance at a given pressure is the enthalpy of vaporization at that pressure, which is;

hfg = 2258.0 kJ/kg for water at 100 kPa.mhfg = (0.2 kg)(2258 kJ/kg) = 451.6 kJ.

During the vaporization process, a substance exists as part liquid and part vapor.

To analyze this mixture, we need to know the proportions of the liquid and vapor phases in the mixture.

This to be done by defining a new property called the quality, x as the ratio of the mass of vapor to the total mass of the mixture:

Consider a tank that contains a saturated liquid-vapor mixture. The volume occupied by saturated liquid is Vf, and the volume occupied by saturated vapor is Vg. The total volume V is the sum of the two;

A rigid tank contains 10 kg of water at 90 oC. If 8 kg of the water is in the liquid form and the rest is in the vapor form, determine (a) the pressure in the tank and (b) the volume of the tank.

Solution

(a) Since the two phases coexist in equilibrium, we have a saturated mixture and the pressure must be the saturation pressure at the given temperature;

P = Psat@90oC = 70.14 kPa (Table A-4)

(b) At 90 oC, we have vf = 0.001036 m3/kg and vg = 2.361 m3/kg (Table A-4)

One way of finding the volume tank is to determine the volume occupied by each phase and then add them:

A 80-L vessel contains 4 kg of refrigerant-134a at a pressure of 160 kPa. Determine (a) the temperature of the refrigerant, (b) the quality, the enthalpy of the refrigerant, and (d) the volume occupied by the vapor phase.

Solution

(a) Basically, we do not know whether the refrigerant is in the compressed liquid, superheated vapor, or saturated mixture region.

This can be determined by comparing a suitable property to the saturated liquid and saturated vapor values. From the given information, we can determine the specific volume;

At 160 kPa, we read

In the region to the right of the saturated vapor line and at temperatures above the critical point temperature, a substance exists as superheated vapor.

Superheated vapor is characterized by;

Lower pressures (P < Psat at a given T)Higher temperatures (T > Tsat at a given P)Higher specific volumes (v > vg at a given P or T)Higher internal energies (u > ug at a given P or T)Higher enthalpies (h > hg at a given P or T)

Determine the temperature of water at a state of P = 0.5 MPa and h = 2890 kJ/kg.

Solution

At 0.5 Mpa, the enthalpy of saturated water vapor is hg = 2748.7 kJ/kg. Since h > hg, now we have superheated vapor.

Under 0.5 MPa. In Table A-6 we read;

Obviously, the temperature is between 200 and 250 oC. By linear interpolation it is determined to be:

T = 216.4 oC.

4(d). Compressed Liquid4(d). Compressed Liquid4(d). Compressed Liquid4(d). Compressed Liquid

In general, a compressed liquid is characterized by;

Higher pressures (P > Psat at a given T)Lower temperatures (T < Tsat at a given P)Lower specific volumes (v < vg at a given P or T)Lower internal energies (u < ug at a given P or T)Lower enthalpies (h < hg at a given P or T)

In the absence of compressed liquid data, a general approximation is to treat compressed liquid as saturated liquid at the given temperature.

This is because the compressed liquid properties depend on temperature much more strongly than they do on pressure.

The ideal-gas equation is very simple and thus very convenient to use. But, gases deviate from ideal-gas behavior significantly at states near the saturation region and the critical point.

This deviation from ideal-gas behavior at a given temperature and pressure can accurately accounted by correction factor called as compressibility factor, Z.

7. Compressibility Factor - A Measure of Deviation from Ideal-Gas Behavior

Gases behave differently at a given temperature and pressure, but they behave very much the same at temperatures and pressures normalized with respect to their critical temperatures and pressures.

The normalization is done as;

where PR = reduced pressure, TR = reduced temperature. When P and v, or T and v, are given instead of P and T, the generalized

compressibility chart can still be used to determine the third property, but it would involve tedious trial and error.

Therefore, it is necessary to define one more reduced property called the pseudo-reduced specific volume , vR as:

The Generalized Compressibility Chart can be used for all gasses. [Figure A-30a until A-30c]

Determine the specific volume of refrigerant-134a at 1 MPa and 50 oC, using (a) the ideal-gas equation of state and (b) the generalized compressibility chart. Compare the values obtained to the actual value of 0.02171 m3/kg and determine the error involved in each case.

Solution The gas constant, the critical pressure, and the critical temperature of refrigerant-134a are determine from Table A-1 to be;

(a) The specific volume of refrigerant-134a under the ideal-gas assumption is;

Therefore, treating the R-134a vapor as an ideal gas would result in an error of (0.02632-0.02171)/0.02171=0.212, or 21.2 percent in this case.

(b) The pressure of steam under the ideal-gas assumption is determined from the ideal-gas relation to be;

Therefore, treating the steam as an ideal gas would result in an error of (1228-1000)/1000 = 0.228, or 22.8 percent in this case.

(c) To determine the correction factor Z from the compressibility chart (Fig A-30), we first need to calculate the pseudo-reduced specific volume and the reduced temperature.

Thus,

Using the compressibility chart reduced the error from 22.8 to 5.7 percent.
