32. A fluid enters a machine at 170 m/s, 800 kPa, and with a specific volume of 0.3 m 3/kg.
The radiation heat loss is 25 kJ/kg. The internal energy decreases 485 kJ/kg. If the fluid
leaves at 330 m/s, 138 kPa, and 0.95 m3/kg, determine the work done by the fluid.

(Ans. 528.9 kJ/kg)

33. Steam enters a turbine with a pressure p = 4800 kPa, u = 2950 kJ/kg, h = 3300 kJ/kg,
and with a flow of 6 kg/s. Steam leaves with h = 2300 kJ/kg, u = 2100 kJ/kg, and p = 22
kPa. The radiative heat loss is equal to 24 kJ/kg of steam. Determine a) the power
produced; b) the adiabatic power; c) the inlet specific volume; d) the exit velocity if the
exit area is 0.5 m2

( Ans. 5856 kW; 6000kW; 0.0729 m 3/kg; 109.08 m/s )

34. Carbon dioxide (ρ=1.8 kg/m3) having an enthalpy of 96.5 kJ/kg enters a compressor. It
leaves with an enthalpy of 175 kJ/kg. There are 35 kJ/kg of heat lost from the
compressor as CO2 passes through it. Neglecting changes in kinetic and potential
energies, determine the power required for a flow rate of 0.2225 m 3/s.

( Ans. -45.4 kW )

35. If the reducer in Prob. 2.8 is set up vertically with a distance from section 1 to section 2
equal to 2.43 m, and all other data remaining the same, find the exit pressure p 2.

( Ans. 95 kPa )
 36. A pump delivers 4m3/min of water from 110 kPa to 350 kPa. Both pipe's gages are on
the same level. The inlet and outlet pipe diameters are 16 cm and 13 cm, respectively.
The inlet and outlet temperature are both 25°C and mass density of water is 997 kg/m 3.
Calculate the pump work in kW.

( Ans. -16.43 kW )

37. A centrifugal compressor compresses 5.7 m3/ min of air from 83 kPaa to 620 kPaa.
The initial density is 1.27 kg/m3 and the final density is 4.8 kg/m 3. The suction line is 10
cm in diameter and the discharge line is 5 cm in diameter, assume ΔP=0 and the
internal energy at entrance and exit are u 1=125 kJ/kg and u2=138 kJ/kg. If the radiative
heat loss is 15 kJ/kg, determine a) the mass flow rate; b) the change in flow energy
between boundaries; c) the kinetic energy change; d) the change in enthalpy; e) the
power.

( Ans. 7.24 kg/min; 463.1 kJ/min; 0.06 kJ/min; 557.22 kJ/min; -11.1 kW )
