Question 2 (40 points): Steam in a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes a polytropic process, with n = 4, from an initial state where p₁ = 3.45 Mpa, V₁ = 0.10 m³/kg, u₁=3170 kJ/kg to a final state where u₂ = 2300 kJ/kg. During the process, there is a heat transfer from the steam of magnitude 360 kJ. The mass of steam is 0.4 kg. Neglecting changes in kinetic and potential energy, then determine: a. (15 points) The boundary work. b. (15 points) The final specific volume in m³/kg. c. (10 points) The final pressure. steam Question 3 (40 points): Water is pumped from a lake to a storage tank 15 m above at a rate of 60 L/s while consuming 18 kW of electric power. Disregarding any frictional losses in the pipes and any changes in kinetic energy, determine a. (20 points) The overall efficiency of the pump-motor unit (consider density of the water p = 1000 kg/m³). b. (20 points) The pressure difference between the inlet and the exit of the pump. 15 m P Q=360 kJ Pump Storage tank
