2. 3 kg of water is compressed from state 1 to state 2 in a polytropic process with $n = 1.34$. The following properties are given: $T_1 = 200 \degree C$, $v_1 = 16 \ m^3/kg$ and $v_2 = 8 \ m^3/kg$. Determine the work done from state 1 to state 2. (35 points)

Step 1
Since the specific volume (v) is given as m/kg, we can assume that the mass (m) is equal to the specific volume (v). Therefore, the initial specific volume (v1) is equal to 2.3 kg. Show more…

One kilogram of water initially at $160^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, 1.5$ bar undergoes an isothermal, internally reversible compression process to the saturated liquid state. Determine the work and heat transfer, each in $\mathrm{kJ}$. Sketch the process on $p-v$ and $T-s$ coordinates. Associate the work and heat transfer with areas on these diagrams.

Consider boiling water into water vapor in the atmosphere. (a) How much work is done by the water per kg? (b) What is the change in internal energy per kg? Data you may need: the specific volume (volume per unit mass) is V_Mw = 1.0x10^-3 m^3/kg and V_Mv = 1.8 m^3/kg for water and water vapor respectively. The pressure of the atmosphere is 1.01*10^5 Pa. The latent heat of the liquid to vapor transition is 334 kJ/kg.
