A small ceramic crucible (mass of 0.26 kg) has just been washed and rinsed. Before it can be reused, it must be absolutely dry. To ensure that no residual water is present, the crucible is heated to 150 C from room temperature (23 ?C). How much heat (in kJ) will this take? (Approximate the specific heat of ceramic as 1.07 kJ/kg K, and of liquid water as 4.195 kJ/kg K.)

Determine the temperature of the air at the exit : Air enters a pipe at 25 Celsius, 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).

Determine the mass flow rate and the rate of heat transfer : R134a flowing at 12 m/s enters a 25 mm diameter tube at a quality of 15%, at 36 Celsius and exits the tube at 10 bars as a saturated liquid. Determine (a) the mass flow rate of the R134a in kg/s, (b) the velocity of the R134a at the exit in m/s and (..

Determine mass flow rate at inlet and velocity : Steam at 80 bar, 440 Celsius, 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 Celsius. The rest exits through a..

What is the temperature of the helium at the end of process : 0.78 kg of helium fills a piston-cylinder device (initial volume of 0.5 m3 which is maintained at an absolute pressure of 240 kPa. Heat is added until the volume doubles. What is the temperature of the helium at the end of the process?

Determine the volumetric flow rate of the steam at the inlet : A steam turbine operating at steady state produces 6,000 hp with a heat transfer to the surroundings at a rate of 360,000 Btu/hr. Steam enters at 600 0F, at 200 psi and exits as a saturated vapor at 8 psi. Neglecting the KE and PE determine the volum..

Determine the heat transfer from the nozzle : Air flowing at 23 kg/s enters a nozzle operating at steady state at 450 K, 300 kPa and a velocity of 2 m/s and exits at a temperature of 300 K and a velocity of 400 m/s. Using the ideal gas model for air, determine (a) the area of the inlet in m2 and..

Determine the exit velocity and inlet and exit flow areas : Steam flowing at 3 kg/s through a nozzle operating at steady state expands from the inlet at 20 bar, 280 0 C to the exit at 7 bar, 180 0 C. The inlet velocity is 90 m/s. Neglecting heat transfer, determine (a) the exit velocity in m/s and (b) the inl..
