Answer

a) $P_3=1555\ kPa,\ x_3=0.00062$ b) $W_b=-70.45\ kJ$ c) $Q_{1-2}=-622.9\ kJ$ d) $Q_{1-3}=-690.8\ kJ$

Work Step by Step

From steam tables: Initial state ($P_1=3.5\ MPa,\ T_1=T_{sat}+7.4°C$): $T_{sat}=242.6°C \rightarrow T_1=250°C,\ v_1=0.05875\ m³/kg,\ u_1=2623.9\ kJ/kg$ Second state($P_2=P_1$, saturated liquid): $v_2=0.001235\ m³/kg,\ u_2=1045.4\ kJ/kg$ Third state ($v_3=v_2, T_3=200°C$): $P_3=1555\ kPa,\ x_3=0.00062,\ u_3=851.55\ kJ/kg$ Only in the process 1-2 boundary work is done (2-3 is constant-volume): $W_b=P_1.m(v_2-v_1)$ Given the mass of 0.35 kg: $W_b=-70.45\ kJ$ The energy balance for the 1-2 process: $Q_{1-2}-W_b=\Delta U_{1-2}$ Hence $Q_{1-2}=-622.9\ kJ$ For the 1-3 process: $Q_{1-3}-W_b=\Delta U_{1-3}$ Hence $Q_{1-3}=-690.8\ kJ$
