1) For water at 10 bar and 0.0978 m3/kg, find u in kJ/kg.

At 10 bar, the given v is between vf and vg, so the state is mixed. Using the relation for quality:

v v f x (v g v f )
0.0978 .0011273 x(.1944 .001273)
x 0.5
u u f x(u f u g ) 0.5(u f u g ) 1672.6 kJ/ kg

2) For CO2 at 911 psi and 115 F, find v in ft3/lb.

Weve got pressure and temperature, but we don t know if the IGL is valid. Easy enough to check. P = 62 atm, and Pcr =
72.9 atm, so Pr=0.85. T = 575 R and Tcr = 548 R, so Tr = 1.05. From the compressibility chart, z is very close to 0.7, so:
RT 1545 575 ( ft lbf / lbmol R) R ft 3
vz 0.7 0.1077
P 44 911(144) lb / lbmol lbf / ft 3 lb

3) For R134a at 45 psi and 50 F, find h in Btu/lb

From the saturated table, we see that this state is SHV. Were between two pressure and two temperatures, so its a
double interpolation. First, we get the numbers in red, then interpolate between those to get 110.02 Btu/lb.

40 Psi h (Btu/lbm) 60 Psi h (Btu/lbm)


40 F 108.26 40.27 F (Sat) 107.43
45F 110.44 45F 109.61
50F 112.62 50F 111.85

4) For propane at 20 bar and 20 C, find v in ft3/lb

At 20 bar, this is below the saturation temperature, so were CL. Use vg(20 C) = 1.999e-03 m3/kg. Converting to ft3/lb
gives 0.032 ft3/lb.

Extra Credit Bonus (5 points):


For water at 175 ft3/lb and u = 555.8 Btu/lb, find T.

Checking the saturated tables at v = 175 ft3/lb, u is much greater than the value shown, so were probably mixed. Choose
a temperature and calculate x for the v value, then compare to u. Do a second guess, then interpolate to converge to 100
F.
