Answer:

a).Final temperature, [tex]T_{2}[/tex] = 180°C

b).Initial Volume, [tex]V_{1}[/tex] = 0.713412 [tex]m^{3}[/tex]

   Final Volume, [tex]V_{2}[/tex] = 0.33012 [tex]m^{3}[/tex]

c). Initial enthalpy,[tex]H_{1}[/tex] =9129.68 kJ

   Final enthalpy, [tex]H_{1}[/tex] =6234.76 kJ

Explanation:

Given :

Total mass, m= 2.8 kg

Initial temperature, [tex]t_{i}[/tex] = 400°C

Initial pressure, [tex]p_{i}[/tex] = 1.2 MPa

Therefore from steam table at 400°C, we can find--

[tex]h_{1}[/tex] = 3260.6 kJ/kg

[tex]v_{1}[/tex] = 0.25479 [tex]m^{3}[/tex] / kg

Now it is mentioned that 28% of the mass is condensed into liquid.

So, mass of liquid, [tex]m_{l}[/tex] = 0.28 of m

                                                        = 0.28 m

     mass of vapour, [tex]m_{v}[/tex] = 0.72 m

∴ Dryness fraction, x = [tex]\frac{m_{v}}{m_{l}+m_{v}}[/tex]

                                  = [tex]\frac{0.72 m}{0.28 m+0.72 m}[/tex]

                                  = 0.72

a). The final temperature can be evaluated from the steam table at 1.2 MPa,

     [tex]h_{2}[/tex] = 2226.7 kJ/kg

     [tex]v_{2}[/tex] = 0.1179 [tex]m^{3}[/tex] / kg

    Final temperature, [tex]T_{2}[/tex] = 180°C

b). We know [tex]v_{1}[/tex] = 0.25479 [tex]m^{3}[/tex] / kg

    ∴ Initial Volume, [tex]V_{1}[/tex] = [tex]v_{1}[/tex] x m

                                [tex]V_{1}[/tex] = 0.25479 x 2.8

                                 [tex]V_{1}[/tex] = 0.713412 [tex]m^{3}[/tex]

   We know,[tex]v_{2}[/tex] = 0.1179 [tex]m^{3}[/tex] / kg

       ∴ Final Volume, [tex]V_{2}[/tex] = [tex]v_{2}[/tex] x m

                                    [tex]V_{2}[/tex] = 0.1179 x 2.8

                                   [tex]V_{1}[/tex] = 0.33012 [tex]m^{3}[/tex]

c). We know,

[tex]h_{1}[/tex] = 3260.6 kJ/kg

∴ Initial enthalpy,[tex]H_{1}[/tex] = [tex]h_{1}[/tex] x m

                                                    = 3260.6 x 2.8

                                                     = 9129.68 kJ

[tex]h_{2}[/tex] = 2226.7 kJ/kg

∴ Final enthalpy, [tex]H_{1}[/tex] = [tex]h_{2}[/tex] x m

                                                     = 2226.7 x 2.8

                                                     = 6234.76 kJ
