P – T Diagram Exercises

 Sketch the following processes on the P -T diagram from an original state (1) to the resulting state (2):

a) The sublimation of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide),


b) A constant pressure cylinder of superheated vapor is cooled until liquid just begins to form,


c) A constant pressure cylinder of superheated vapor is cooled until all the vapor is gone,


d) A liquid-vapor two-phase mixture is heated at constant volume until its quality is 1.0









Relationship Between Heat Transfer and the First Law of Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics and heat transfer are complementary engineering subjects, each addressing different aspects of energy behavior in systems. In...
