Homework Statement
1kg of water that is initially at 90 degrees celsius with a quality of 10% occupies a spring loaded piston cylinder device. The device is now heated until the pressure rises to 800kPa and the temperature is 250 degrees c
Determine the total work done during this process, in KJ
Homework Equations
The first law for closed systems
Q - W = ΔU
(h2-h1 - u2 - u1) = ΔU
The Attempt at a Solution
State 1
Saturated mixture (90 degrees)
x = 0.1
H1 = 605.29 KJ/kg
U1 = 588.67 KJ/kg
State 2 - super heated vapour
h2 = 2950.4 KJ/kg
u2 = 2715.9 KJ/kg
therefore,
ΔU = (2950.4 - 605.29) - (2715.9 - 588.67) = 217.88 KJ
which is incorrect, can you assist me with this question?
