EGR 334 Thermodynamics: Homework 06

Prob 3: 5
Determine the phase of 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 = 80 psi
T = 312.07 deg F.
b) p = 80 psi
T = 400 deg F.
c) p = 360 psi
T = 400 deg F.
d) p = 70 psi
T = 320 deg F.
e) 14.7 psi
T = 10 deg F.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------a) p = 80 psi
T = 312.07 deg F.
from Table A-3E: p = 80 and T = 312.07 are saturation values. Therefore this is somewhere along the liquidvapor line and exists as two phases. Quality is not given, so the spec. volume cannot be determined.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------b) p = 80 psi
T = 400 deg F.
from Table A-3E at p = 80 note that T=400 > 312.07 (saturation pressure) so the substance is vapor or
superheated.
from Table A-4E
p = 80 and T = 400 gives v = 6.22 ft 3/ lbm
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -c) p = 360 psi
T = 400 deg F.
From table A-2E: at T = 400 note that p=360 > 247.1 (saturation pressure) so that the substance is condensed
liquid.
from table A-5E
p=500 psi and T = 400 is as close as you can get to p = 360 and 400.
therefore use v as approximately equal to 0.0186 ft3/lbm.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------d) p = 70 psi
T = 320 deg F.
From table A-2E: at T=320 note that p= 70 < 89.60 (saturation pressure) so the substance is vapor or superheated.
from table A-4E

Using double interpolation:

at p = 80

then at 70 psi:

7.82 7.26

= 6.51 ft3/lbm.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------e) 14.7 psi

T = 10 deg F.
We know that water freezes at 32 deg F., so at 14.7 psi and 10 deg, the water is ice. At 10 deg the sat. spec. volume
of ice is 0.01744 ft3/lbm.

Data encounter in solving problems often do not fall exactly on the grid of values provided by property tables, and
linear interpolation between adjacent table entries becomes necessary. Using the data provided here, estimate

Prob 3: 29
Ammonia contained in a piston cylinder assembly initially saturated vapor at 0 deg F, undergoes an isothermal
process during which its volume (a) double and ( b) reduces by a half. For each case, fix the final state by giving
the quality or pressure in lbf/in2 as appropriate. Locate the initial and final states on sketch of the p-v and T-v
diagrams.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For ammonia the tables A-13E, A-14E, and A-15E will be used.
a) Double the volume:
State 1: saturated vapor at 0 deg F.
Process 1-2: isothermal (T= constant) and v2 = 2 v1 ( volume doubles)
St1ate 2: substance becomes vaporNeed to use the superheated table: A-15E.
saturated vapor give p1 = 30.416 psi and v1 = vg = 9.1100 ft3/lbm

At State 1: T1 = 0 degrees

T2=0 and v2 = 2v1 = 2(9.11)= 18.2200 ft3/lbm

Using the super heated table A-15E

At state 2:

at p = 14 psi
T=0
v = 20.289

p = 16 psi
T=0
v = 17.701

interpolating:

p 14 (18.220 20.289)

16 14
15.60 psi
17.701 20.289

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----b) half the volume:

State 1: saturated vapor at 0 deg F.
Process 1-2: isothermal (T= constant) and v2 = 0.5 v1 ( volume is halved)
St1ate 2: substance becomes liquid-vapor mixture.
saturated vapor give p1 = 30.416 psi and v1 = vg = 9.1100 ft3/lbm

At State 1: T1 = 0 degrees

T2=0 and v2 = 0.5v1 = 0.5(9.11)= 4.555 ft3/lbm

At state 2:
using

vf = 0.02419

and vg = 9.1100

then to find the quality:

v vg
v f vg

4.555 0.02419
.499 49.9%
9.1100 0.02419

since the substance is a two phase mixture, the pressure is the saturation pressure for T = 0 deg or p = 30.416 psi
