a) Enthalpy is a thermodynamics property of a system that measure its disorderness and its
inability to do work. [5 marks]

b)i.,
at 1000 kPa. 300 ºC, vA = 0.25799 m3/kg, uA = 2793.7 kJ/kg [2 marks]

at 150 ºC, x =0.5,

vB = 0.001091 + 0.5 × (0.29248 – 0.001091) = 0.19679 m3/kg, [2 marks]

uB = 631.66 + 0.5 × (1927.4) = 1595.4 kJ/kg [2 marks]

total volume V = mAvA + mBvB

= (2)(0.25799) + (3)(0.19676)

= 1.106 m3 [2 marks]

Final Specific Volume = 1.106/(2 + 3) = 0.22127 m3/kg [2 marks]

x = (0.22127 – 0.001004)/(32.879 – 0.001004) = 0.0067 [2 marks]

u2 = 125.73 + 0.0067 × 2290.2 = 141.1 kJ/kg [2 marks]

Ein – Eout = E

0 – Qout = UA + UB (W = KE = PE = 0) [1 mark]

a)
A thermal boundary layer develops if the bulk fluid temperature and surface temperature
differ. Fluid particles that come into contact with the plate achieve thermal equilibrium at
the plate’s surface temperature. These particles exchange energy with those in the
adjoining fluid layer (by conduction and diffusion), and temperature gradients develop in
the fluid. The region of the fluid in which these temperature gradients exist is the thermal
boundary layer. Its thickness is typically defined as the distance from the body at which the
temperature is 99% of the temperature found from an inviscid solution. [5 marks]
