1st Law ( Closed System )

A.) Un-Reactive System.

Q1. A well insulated and rigid tank contains 5 kg of a Saturated Liquid Vapour
Mixture of Water at 100 kPa. Initially, of the mass is in the Liquid Phase. An
Electrical Resistor placed in the tank is connected to a 110 V Source and a Current
of 8 A flows through the Resistor when the Switch is turned on.
a.) Determine how long will it take to vapourize all the Liquid in the tank.
b.) Also, show the process on a T-V Diagram with respect to Saturation Line.
Q2. The Hydrogen gas inside a Rigid Tank with known Volume of 3.0 m3 at Initial
Temperature and Pressure of 550 K and 250 kPa respectively. Heat is to be
removed from the tank by applying Cooling Method so that the Temperature of
the Hydrogen gas drops to 350 K. Determine
a.) The Final Pressure of Hydrogen Gas inside the Tank.
b.) The amount of Heat Transfer in this process.
Q3. An Insulated Tank is divided into two parts by a Partition. One part of the
Tank contains 2.5 kg of Compressed Liquid Water at Temperature 60C and
Pressure 600 kPa while the other part is being evacuated. The Partition is now
being removed and the Water expands to fill the entire Tank. For Final Pressure of
10 kPa, determine
a.) The Final Temperature of the Water.
b.) The Volume of the Tank.
