ME 251 Problem 6.

Fall 2013

Given: A mixing tank initially containing 3000 lbm of liquid water has two inlet pipes. One delivers hot water at a mass flow rate of 0.8 lbm/s and the other delivering cold water at a mass flow rate of 1.3 lbm/s. Water exits through a single exit at a mass flow rate of 2.6 lbm/s. Find: How much water is in the tank after one hour?

Fall 2013

Given: Air enters a home electric furnace at 75oF, 1 atm, with volume flow rate of 800 ft3/min. The furnace delivers air at 120oF, 1 atm to a duct system with three branches consisting of two with 6 inch diameter ducts and one that is 12 inches in diameter. The velocity in each of the 6 inch ducts is 10 ft/s under steady state operation. Find: a) The mass flow rate of air entering the furnace (lbm/s), b) the volumetric flow rate in each 6 inch duct (ft3/min), and c) the velocity in the 12 inch duct (ft/s).
