Air contained in a rigid, insulated tank fitted with a paddle wheel, initially at 4 bar, 40oC and volume of 0.2 m^3, is stirred until its temperature is 500 K. Assuming the ideal gas model for the air, determine the amount of entropy produced, in kJ/K. Assume variable specific heats (data from Table A-22).

Calculate the entropy generation rate for the process : Superheated steam enters one section of an open end feed water heater at 5bar and 240 c with a mass flow rate of 1 kg/s. compressed liquid water at the same pressure and 35 C enters another inlet. The mixture of these two streams leaves as a saturate..

Insulated duct of varying cross-sectional area : Air at 300 kPa, 63oC, and a velocity of 423 m/s enters an insulated duct of varying cross-sectional area. The air exits at 150 kPa, 88oC. At the inlet, the cross-sectional area is 6.57 cm^2.

Consider adiabatic mixing chamber operating at steady state : Consider an adiabatic mixing chamber operating at steady state into which steam enters with quality of 0.9. Water enters through a separate inlet at 300C. At the exit the temperature is 1500C and mass flow rate is 2 kg/s. The pressure in the mixing c..

Water initially exists as a saturated liquid : Water initially exists as a saturated liquid at 186oC is contained in a piston-cylinder assembly. The water undergoes a process to the corresponding saturated vapor state, during which the piston moves freely in the cylinder

Determine the exit temperature of the air : Air enters the evaporator section of an air-conditioner at 100 kPa, 27oC with a volumetric flow rate of 6 m^3/min. R-134a enters the evaporator at 120 kPa with a quality of 0.3 and rate of 2kg/min and it leaves as a saturated vapor at the same pressu..

Heat transfer is negligible are kinetic and potential energy : Steam at 550 lbf/in.2, 70 oF enters a turbine operating at steady state and exits at 1 lbf/in.^2. The turbine produces 500 hp. For the turbine, heat transfer is negligible as are kinetic and potential energy effects.

What are their compositions and amounts : Assume that the overall composition is 0.6 wt%C (and 99.4 wt%Fe) and a total weight of 10Kg. At T=727C, how many phases are present and what are their compositions and amounts?

Find the steady state temperature in the plate : You have a 2 dimensional (just X&Y) square plate with sides measuring a=24. The upper and lower sides of the plate are perfectly insulated, but the right and left sides are not. The left side is kept at 0°C and the right side is kept at f(y) °C. Find..
