1. Water contained in a piston-cylinder assembly, initially at 300°F, a quality of 90%, and a volume of 6 ft3, is heated at constant temperature to saturated vapor. If the rate of heat transfer is 0.3 Btu/s, determine the time, in min, for this process of the water to occur. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible.
2. Five kg of water is contained in a piston-cylinder assembly, initially at 5 bar and 240°C. The water is slowly heated at constant pressure to a final state. If the heat transfer for the process is 2960 kJ, determine the temperature at the final state, in °C, and the work, in kJ. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible.
