Problem: A steady-flow compressor is used to compress helium from 15 psia and 70°F at the inlet to 200 psia and 600°F at the outlet. The outlet area and velocity are 0.01 ft2 and 100 ft/s, respectively, and the inlet velocity is 50 ft/s. Determine the mass flow rate and the inlet area. Solution: Assume that flow through the compressor is steady and that helium can be treated as an ideal gas under these conditions.

Problem: A cyclone separator like that in Fig. P5–11 is used to remove fine solid particles, such as fly ash, that are suspended in a gas stream. In the flue-gas system of an electrical power plant, the weight fraction of fly ash in the exhaust gases is approximately 0.001. Determine the mass flow rates at the two outlets (flue gas and fly ash) when 10 kg/s of flue gas and ash mixture enters this unit. Also determine the amount of fly ash collected per year.
Solution: Assume flow through the separator is steady. Since the ash particles cannot be converted into gas and vice-versa, the mass flow rate of ash into the control volume must equal that going out, and the mass flow rate of flue gas into the control volume must equal that going out. Use Conservation of Mass to solve this problem. m& ash = y ash m& in = (0.001)10 kg = 0.01 kg s s Ans

Problem: Steam flows steadily through an adiabatic turbine. The inlet conditions of the steam are 6 MPa, 400°C, and 80 m/s, and the exit conditions are 40 kPa, 92 percent quality, and 50 m/s. The mass flow rate of the steam is 20 kg/s. Determine (a) the change in kinetic energy, (b) the power output, and (c) the turbine inlet area.
Solution: Assume that this is a steady-flow process since there is no change with time. Assume that potential energy changes are negligible. Since the device is adiabatic, the heat transfer is negligible. From the steam tables (Tbl A-4 thru A-6):

Problem: Steam enters a steady-flow turbine with a mass flow rate of 20 kg/s at 600°C, 5 MPa, and a negligible velocity. The steam expands in the turbine to a saturated vapor at 500 kPa where 10 percent of the steam is removed for some other use. The remainder of the steam continues to expand to the turbine exit where the pressure is 10 kPa and quality is 85 percent. If the turbine is adiabatic, determine the rate of work done by the steam during this process.
Solution: Assume that this is a steady-flow process since there is no change with time. Also assume that the kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible. The turbine is adiabatic so the heat transfer is negligible. From the steam tables (Tbl A-5 and A-6): P1 = 5 MPa h1 = 3666.9 kJ/kg T1 = 600°C P2 = 0.5 MPa h2 = 2748.1 kJ/kg Sat.Vap.

Water flows through a 1.25-in diameter thin aluminum tube whose outer surface is black-anodized in order to maximize its solar absorption ability.

Problem: An air-conditioning system is to be filled from a rigid container that initially contains 5 kg of liquid R-134a at 24°C. The valve connecting this container to the air-conditioning system is now opened until the mass in the container is 0.25 kg, at which time the valve is closed. During this time, only liquid R-134a flows from the container. Presuming that the process is isothermal while the valve is open, determine the final quality of the R-134a in the container and the total heat transfer.
Solution: Assume this is an unsteady process since the conditions within the device are changing during the process, but it can be analyzed as a uniform-flow process since the state of fluid at the exit remains constant. Also assume that the kinetic and potential energies are negligible and that there are no work interactions involved. Consider the refrigerant in the tank as the system. Mass balance: min − mout = ∆msystem

From Tbl A-11: 3
v 1 = 0.0008261 m kg
T1 = 24°C kJ u1 = 84.44 kg x=0 he = 84.98 kJ kg
The volume of the tank is:
V = m1v 1 = (5 kg) 0.0008261 m kg = 0.004131 m 3 3
We can now calculate the final specific volume:

Returning to Tbl A-11:
v2 −v f 0.01652 − 0.0008261 = = 0.5061 x2 = v g − v f 0.031834 − 0.0008261 3 v 2 = 0.01652 m kg u 2 = u f + x 2 u fg = 84.44 kJ kg + (0.5061)158.65 kJ kg = 164.73 kJ kg T2 = 24°C
Ans
Substituting into the energy balance: Qin = m2 u 2 − m1u1 + (m1 − m2 )he = (0.25 kg )164.73 kJ − (5 kg ) 84.44 kJ + (4.75 kg ) 84.98 kJ kg kg kg = 22.64kJ

Problem: The air in an insulated, rigid compressed-air tank whose volume is 0.5 m3 is initially at 4000 kPa and 20°C. Enough air is now released from the tank to reduce the pressure to 2000 kPa. Following this release, what is the temperature of the remaining air in the tank?
Solution: Assume this is an unsteady process since the conditions within the device are changing during the process, but it can be analyzed as a uniform-flow process. Also assume that air is an ideal gas with constant specific heats under the conditions of this problem, that the kinetic and potential energies are negligible, and that there are no work interactions involved. From Tbl A-1 & A-2a: R = 0.287 kPa·m3/kg·K cp = 1.005 kJ/kg·K cv = 0.718 kJ/kg·K Consider the air in the tank as the system. Mass balance:
Air 4000 kPa 20°C, 0.5 m3

The initial and final masses are:

The temperature of air leaving the tank changes from the initial temperature in the tank to the final temperature during the discharging process. We assume that the temperature of the air leaving the tank is the average of initial and final temperatures in the tank. Substituting into the energy balance equation: 0 = m2 cv T2 − m1cv T1 + (m1 − m2 )c p Te 3484 T − (23.78kg ) 0.718 kJ (293K ) kg 0.718 kJ 0 = kg ⋅ K 2 kg ⋅ K T 2 3484 293 + T2 kg 1.005 kJ + 23.78 − kg ⋅ K T2 2 ⇒ T2 = 241K = −32°C
