4. Solve the following problems from S. R. Turns, "Thermodynamics: Concepts and Applications."

 

2.81

 

2.89                         Dh @ 272 kJ/kg

 

2.92                          A: X @ 0.83

 

2.96                          m @ 0.095 kg

 

2.99                          mf @ 2.07 kg

 

 

 

5. For a saturated mixture of liquid and vapor, hav represents the average enthalpy per unit mass.  Starting with the total enthalpy defined as:

 

H = Hf + Hg and H = mth,    

 

Derive the relation:

 

hav = hf + xhfg, in which x represents the “quality” of the mixture and hfg = hg – hf.  

 

 

 

 

 

"(C&A)" indicates a problem taken from Y. A. çengel and M. A. Boles, "Thermodynamics – An Engineering Approach," fifth edition.
