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?

Approximate the specific heat of ceramic : 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 ..

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.

Determine the mass flow rate : R134a flowing at 12 m/s enters a 25 mm diameter tube at a quality of 15%, at 36 0C and exits the tube at 10 bar 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 (c) the..

Piston-cylinder device is compressed from an initial state : Air in a piston-cylinder device is compressed from an initial state (temperature = 80 C, pressure = 100 kPa, volume = 0.3 m3) to a final state (temperature = 250 ?C, pressure = 600 kPa), during a polytropic process (n = 1.28094065700868). What is the..

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..
