Air is contained in a piston-cylinder assembly, initially at 40 lbf/in2 and 600 ?R. The air expands in a poly tropic process with n = k = 1.4 until the volume is doubled. Modeling the air as an ideal gas with constant specific heats, determine

a) The final temperature in R, and pressure in lbf/in2, and

b) The work and heat transfer, each in Btu/lb of air

Water is being filled with water through two inlet pipes : A tank initially filled with 500 lb liquid water is being filled with water through two inlet pipes. One delivers hot water at mass flow rate of 1.5 lb/min and the second delivers cold water at a mass flow rate of 3 lb/min. A single exit pipe is drai..

Determine the mass flow rate of the air : Air enters a pipe at 25 0C, 100 kPa at a flow rate of 36 m3/hr. A heater on the outside of the pipe draws 8 amps at a voltage of 120 V. All the heat from the heater is transferred to the air (well insulated and wall t is small). Assuming that the air..

Determine the mass flow rate at the inlet : Steam at 80 bar, 440 0C, enters a turbine operating at steady state at a volumetric flow rate of 180 m3/min. The water exits the turbine in two streams, 20% as exits through a 0.25 m diameter pipe at 60 bar, 400 0C. The rest exits through a 1.5 m dia..
