C.V. Water

Energy Eq.3.5:      { }_{1} Q _{2}= m \left( u _{2}- u _{1}\right)+{ }_{1} W _{2}= m \left( h _{2}- h _{1}\right)

Process Eq.:     Constant pressure    \Rightarrow \quad { }_{1} W _{2}= mP \left( v _{2}- v _{1}\right)

Properties from Table F.7.2 and F.7.3

State 1:  T _{1}, \quad v _{1}=22.6 / 20=1.13   ft ^{3} / lbm , P _{1}=800   lbf / in ^{2}, \quad h _{1}=1567.8   Btu / lbm

 

State 2:  800   lbf / in ^{2}, 100  F

 

\Rightarrow \quad v _{2}=0.016092   ft ^{3} / lbm , h _{2}=70.15   Btu / lbm

 

The work from the process equation is found as

 

\begin{aligned}{ }_{1} W _{2} &=20   lbm \times 800   psi \times(0.016092-1.13)   ft ^{3} / lbm \times 144   in ^{2} / ft ^{2} \\&=-2566444   lbf – ft =-3299   Btu\end{aligned}

 

The heat transfer from the energy equation is

 

{ }_{1} Q _{2}=20   lbm \times(70.15-1567.8)   Btu / lbm = – 2 9 9 5 3  \text { Btu }
