It is common knowledge that the temperature of air rises as it is compressed. An inventor thought about using this high-temperature air to heat buildings. He used a compressor driven by an electric motor. The inventor claims that the compressed hot-air system is 25 percent more efficient than a resistance heating system that provides an equivalent amount of heating. Is this claim valid, or is this just another perpetualmotion machine? Explain.
A hydroelectric plant gets water from a dam at the rate of 100 cubic meters per minute to generate an output of 12,262.5 KW. If the overall efficiency of the plant is 75%, what is the head of the water in the dam?
Two parallel shafts whose centers are 10 meters apart are connected by an open belt drive with a V-belt with a groove angle of 30°. The diameter of the larger pulley is 1000 mm and that of the smaller pulley is 400 mm. The smaller pulley is running at 1000 rpm to deliver 10 kW of power. The mass of the belt is 1 kg/m. Taking centrifugal tension into account, determine the minimal cross-sectional area if the allowable tensile stress of the belt is 5 MPa. The coefficient of friction between the belt and the pulleys is 0.25.
Large wind turbines with a power capacity of 8 MW and blade span diameters of over 160 m are available for electric power generation. Consider a wind turbine with a blade span diameter of 100 m installed at a site subjected to steady winds at 8 m/s. Taking the overall efficiency of the wind turbine to be 39 percent and the air density to be 1.25 kg/m³, determine the electric power generated by this wind turbine. Also, assuming steady winds of 8 m/s during a 24 hour period, determine the amount of electric energy and the revenue generated per day for a unit price of $0.09/kWh for electricity. The density of air is given to be p = 1.25 kg/m³. The electric power generated by the wind turbine is The amount of electric energy generated is The revenue generated per day is $ kWh. kW. K
Determine the amount of heat added to a system if the following properties are given: mass flow rate=2.8 kg/s, z1=0 m, u1=23 kJ/kg, P1=15.2 kPa, v1=0.305 m3 /kg, z2=7 m, u2=18 kJ/kg, P2=10 kPa, v2=0.058 m3 /kg. A work of 287 kJ/kg is done on the system.
A homeowner is trying to decide between a highefficiency natural gas furnace with an efficiency of 97 percent and a ground-source heat pump with a COP of 3.5. The unit costs of electricity and natural gas are $0.115/kWh and $0.75/therm (1 therm = 105,500 kJ). Determine which system will have a lower energy cost.
Determine the work required (in kJ/kg) for a pump that is used to increase the pressure of a liquid water stream from 100 kPa to 1500 kPa isothermally at 20 °C. The specific heat of water (C) is 0.0035 kJ/kg.K. its specific volume is 0.001031 m³/kg and its volume expansivity (B) is 250x10 K
An air conditioner removes heat steadily from a house at a rate of 750 kJ/min while drawing electric power at a rate of 5.25 kW. Determine the rate of heat transfer to the outside air.
An electric blender is used to grind soaked soya beans with initial internal energy of 3000 joules. If the power consumption is 0.1 KW, with heat loss from the blender is 20 joules/sec., determine the time in minutes the operation of the blender to make the final internal energy of 27,000 joules.
Questions 3 and 4 refer to the following situation. Air flows into the duct of air-conditioner at 101 kPa and 12° C at a rate of 17 m³/min. The diameter of the duct is 26 cm and heat is transferred to the air in the duct by the air-conditioner at a rate of 3 W. 3.

A 25 kW automobile engine consumes 1.25 kg of gasoline when it runs for 10 minutes. What is the efficiency of the engine since the lower calorific value of gasoline is 43000 kJ / kg?
The “Energy Guide” label of a refrigerator states that the refrigerator will consume $170 worth of electricity per year under normal use if the cost of electricity is $0.125/kWh. If the electricity consumed by the lightbulb is negligible and the refrigerator consumes 400 W when running, determine the fraction of the time the refrigerator will run.
