 1. (4 pts) Water at ıoo°c, quality 50% in a rigid tank is heated to l20°C. How do the
properties pressure (P), specific volume (v), quality (x), specific internal energy (u)
and specific entropy (s) change (increase, stay about the same, or decrease)? Explain. YL ıı,..

2. (2 pts) An experimentalist, based on his measurements, a heat engine receives 300 kJ

of heat from a source at 227°C, converts 160 kJ of it to work, and rejects the rest as a
waste he at to a sink at 27°C. Are these measurements reasonable? Explain why?

3. (2 pts) A refrigerator is to remove heat from the cooled space at a rate of300 kJ/min
to maintain its temperature at -8°C. If the air surrounding the refrigerator is at 25°C,
determine the minimum power input required for this refrigerator.

4. (2 pts) The data listed below are e1aimed for a power cycle operating between
reservoirs at 527°C and 27°C. For each case, determine if any principle of
thermodynamics would be violated.
a. QH = 700 kJ, Wcycle = 400 kJ, QL = 300 kJ
b. QH = 640 kJ, Wcycle = 400 kJ, QL = 240 kJ

 5. (20 pts) Superheated steam at 100 kPa and 150°C is cooled by mixing it with liquid
water at 100 kPa and 20°C . Liquid enters the mixing chamber at a rate of 3 kg/s, and
the chamber is estimated to lose heat to the surroundings at a rate of 800 kJ/min. If the
mixture leaves the mixing chamber at 100 kPa and 50°C, determine
a. the mass flow rate of the superheated steam,
b. the rate of entropy generation during this process.

6. (20 pts) Air İs to be compressed from 100 kPa and 27°C to 900 kPa. The mass flow
rate İs 0.02 kg/s. Determine the power input to the compressor and temperature of air
at the exit for the following cases:
a. A one-stage compressor with 91 % isentropic efficiency is used and the
compression process takes place adiabatically.
b. A one-stage compressor is used and the compression process takes place
isothermally at the inlet temperature.
c. An ideal two-stage compressor is used and the compression process takes
place isentropically.

 7. (35 pts) Steam is the working fluid in a Rankine cycle with superheat and reheat.
Steam enters the first stage turbine at 8 MPa, 600°C, and expandsto 1.2 MPa. it is
then reheated to 550°C before entering the second stage turbine, where it expands to
the condenser pressure of 100 kPa. The net power output is 100 MW. If the isentropic
effieiency of the both turbine stages is 85%, determine
a. the thermal effieiency of the cycle,
b. the mass flow rate of the stream İn kg/h,
c. the rate ofheat transfer from the condenser in MW.
d. Show the process on a T-s diagram.

exit temperature from the compressor is measured as 85°C. If the pressure at the
compressor exit is 2 MPa,
a. compute the isentropic efficiency of the compressor,
b. compute COP of the refrigeration cycle,
c. compute COP of the system if it is to be used as a heat pump,
d. show the cycle on a T-s diagram.
