or temperature
D. All
3. The normal boiling temperature of water is lower in “RasDashen “Mountain than in Mekelle City.

can coexist.

A. 12 psi B. 14 psi C. 13. Psi D.15 psi

7. Which one of the following is true about the diagram given below?

1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Heat of vaporization increases as the saturation pressure decreases
B. The specific volume of the saturated liquid decreases as the saturation temperature increases
C. The specific volume of the saturated vapor decreases as the saturation temperature increases.
D. None
8. Find the pressure of water at 200°C and having specific volume of 1.5 m 3/kg
A) 141.6 kPa B) 111.6 kPa C) 121.6 kPa D) 161.6 kPa
Part II2: Numerical problem [4 point]

1. Two kilograms of water at 25°C are placed in a piston cylinder device under 100 kPa pressure as shown in the
diagram (State (1)). Heat is added to the water at constant pressure until the piston reaches the stops at a total
volume of 0.4 m3 (State (2)). More heat is then added at constant volume until the temperature of the water
reaches 300°C (State (3)). Determine (a) the quality of the fluid and the mass of the vapor at state (2), and (b)
the pressure of the fluid at state (3) [4 point]

2. Consider a double-fluid manometer attached to an air pipe shown in Fig. P1–76. If the specific
gravity of one fluid is 13.55, determine the specific gravity of the other fluid for the indicated
absolute pressure of air. Take the atmospheric pressure to be 100 kPa[5point].

3. Show /derive that quality (x ) of a thermodynamic systems is given by the following equation

Where y may be specific volume, enthalpy, internal energy, or entropy [3 point]
