1-40 A hair dryer is basically a duct in which a few layers of electric resistors are placed. A small fan pulls the air in and forces it to flow over the resistors where it is heated. Air enters a 1200-W hair dryer at 100 kPa and 22°C, and leaves at 47°C. The cross-sectional area of the hair dryer at the exit is 60 cm². Neglecting the power consumed by the fan and the heat losses through the walls of the hair dryer, determine (a) the volume flow rate of air at the inlet and (b) the velocity of the air at the exit. Answers: (a) 0.0404 m³/s, (b) 7.30 m/s

Water is being heated in a closed pan on top of a range while being stirred by a paddle wheel. During the process, 34.59 kJ of heat is transferred to the water, and 8.01 kJ of heat is lost to the surrounding air. The paddle-wheel work amounts to 540.56 N ∙ m. Determine the final energy of the system if its initial internal energy is 11.95 kJ.
A rigid box with insulated side walls is put in the air. Only the top wall and the bottom wall of the box are not insulated. Hot air at 70°C is blown over a 1m × 2m flat surface of the top wall of a box at 30°C. The convection heat transfer coefficient is 45 W/(m2 · °C). Determine the rate of heat transfer in kW from the bottom wall to the air, if you know that the temperature of the box remains constant and no heat is generated inside. Justify your answer.
A fluid enters a machine at 188.98 m/s, 805 kPa, and with a specific volume of 0.125 m³/kg. The radiation heat loss is 24.19 kJ/kg. The internal energy decreases by 478 kJ/kg. If the fluid leaves at 329.06 m/s, 139 kPa, and 0.868 m³/kg, determine the work done by the fluid in kJ. The mass of the fluid is 1.506 kg.
