A piston-cylinder device contains 3 kg of saturated water vapor at 200 kPa. Now heat is transferred to the system at constant pressure until the temperature reaches 200oC. Calculate the work done by the steam during this process.

work done = 117 kJ

Explanation:

given data

mass m = 3 kg

constant pressure P = 200 kPa

temperature T = 200°C

solution

we know that work done by steam is express as

work done = pressure × ΔVolume  1

and here ΔVolume  = final volume - initial volume

we use here steam table and get at pressure 200 kPa

final specific volume = 1.08052 m³/kg

and

initial specific volume = 0.885735 m³/kg

so here

ΔV  = 3 × (1.08052 - 0.885735)

ΔV  = 0.584 m³

so put value in equation 1 we get

work done by steam = 200 × 0.584

work done = 117 kJ

this allows people to make the best decision or pursue the best option. when alternatives are weighed using their advantages and disadvantages, the option whose disadvantages outweigh the advantages (based on a qualitative or quantitative analysis) are shunned while those whose advantages outweigh their disadvantages are pursued.  

the answer is ampere

the ampere is used to measure electricity. an ampere is a unit of electric current equal. a unit of measure for the flow of current in a circuit. one ampere is the amount of current flow provided when one volt of electrical pressure is applied against one ohm of resistance.
