Question: B . A well - insulated rigid tank having a volume of 0 . 3 m 3 contains saturated water vapor at a pressure of

B. A well-insulated rigid tank having a volume of 0.3m3 contains saturated water
vapor at a pressure of 1 bar (state 1). The water is rapidly stirred until the
temperature is raised at T2=500C(state 2). Then, insulation is removed
from the tank and the water is cooled at constant volume from T2=500C to
T3=360C(state 3). Do the following analysis:
(a) What property of the closed system is constant throughout the process
(from state 1 to state 2 and finally to state 3)? What is the magnitude of
this property?
(b) Determine temperature and specific internal energy of water at state 1[2]
(c) Determine state 2 of water.
(d) Determine pressure and internal energy of water at state 2 using
information from appropriate tables.
(e) Determine state 3 of water.
(f) Determine pressure and internal energy of water at state 3 using
information from appropriate tables.
(g) Sketch the two processes in series (from state 1 to state 2 and from state
2 to state 3) on p-v and T-v coordinates.
(h) Formulate the 1st Law of Thermodynamics for closed systems for the
process from state 1 to state 2 and calculate the work of the paddle wheel
in kJ. Discuss the sign of the result.
(i) Formulate the 1st Law of Thermodynamics for closed systems for the
process from state 2 to state 3 and calculate the heat in [k] that is
