Located near the bottom of an insulated cylinder is a rigid plate of negligible mass. Between the rigid plate and the bottom of the cylinder is of air at kPa and Between the rigid plate and a semiconstrained piston exists superheated water vapor at Celsius and kPa Consider these to be the initial conditions state of this multicomponent system, before the energy conducts between the two substances. The system boundary includes the air, the water and the rigid plate.
The rigid plate is conductive allowing heat to pass between the air and the water vapor, but the piston is wellinsulated. The water vapor is manually compressed until the volume of water vapor is halved and the pressure is kPa at which point the air and water vapor are in temperature equilibrium. Determine the following:
a The final temperature of the water vapor, in Celsius
b The boundary work for the water vapor
c The final pressure of the air, in kPa
d The change in entropy of the air, in
e The change in entropy of the water, in
f The change in entropy of the combined system, in neglecting the mass of the rigid plate
g The entropy produced, of the combined system during the process
h Draw a Ts and Pv diagram for the water
i Draw a Ts and Pv diagram for the air
