1. Assuming that there are
no heat effects and no
frictional effects, find the
kinetic energy and speed of
a 3220-lb body after it falls
778 ft from rest. Start with
the steady flow equation,
deleting energy terms
which are irrelevant.
Solution:
2. A reciprocating compressor draws in
500 cubic feet per minute of air whose
density is 0.079 lb/cu.ft and discharges it
with a density of 0.304 lb/cu.ft. At the
suction, p1=15 psia; at discharge, p2= 80
psia. The increase in the specific
internal energy is 33.8 Btu/lb and the
heat transferred from the air by cooling
is 13 Btu/lb. Determine the work on the
air in Btu/min and in hp. Neglect change
in kinetic energy.
Solution:
3. Steam enters a turbine
with an enthalpy of 1292
Btu/lb and leaves with an
enthalpy of 1098 Btu/lb. The
transferred heat is 13 Btu/lb.
What is the work in Btu/min
and in hp for a flow of 2
lb/sec?
Solution:
4. A thermodynamic steady flow
system receives 4.56 kg per min of
a fluid where p1=137.90 kPa,
v1=0.0388 m3/kg, Ѵ1=122 m/s, and
u1=17.16 kJ/kg. The fluid leaves the
system at a boundary where
p2=551.6 kPa, v2=0.193 m3/kg,
Ѵ2=183 m/s and u2=52.80 kJ/kg.
During the passage through the
system the fluid receives 3000 J/s
of heat. Determine the work.
Solution:
5. Air flows steadily at the rate of 0.5
kg/s through an air compressor, entering
at 7 m/s speed, 100 kPa pressure and
0.95 m3/kg specific volume, and leaving
at 5 m/s, 700 kPa, and 0.19 m3/kg. The
internal energy of the air leaving is 90
kJ/kg greater than that of the air
entering. Cooling water in the
compressor jackets absorbs heat from
the air at the rate of 58 kW. Compute the
work in kW.
Solution:
6. In a steady flow apparatus, 135 kJ of
work is done by each kg of fluid. The
specific volume of the fluid, pressure, and
speed at the inlet are 0.37 m3/kg, 600 kPa,
and 16 m/s. The inlet is 32 m above the
floor, and the discharge pipe is at the floor
level. The discharge conditions are 0.62
m3/kg, 100 kPa, and 270 m/s. The total
heat loss between the inlet and discharge
is 9 kJ/kg of fluid. In flowing through this
apparatus, does the specific internal
energy increase or decrease, and by how
much?
Solution:
7. Steam enters a turbine
stage with an enthalpy of
3628 kJ/kg at 70 m/s and
leaves the same stage with
an enthalpy of 2846 kJ/kg
and a velocity of 124 m/s.
Calculate the work done by
the steam.
