A flow-through electric water heater has a 22 kW electric heater inside an insulated 2.0-cm-diameter pipe so that water flowing through the pipe will have good thermal contact with the heater. Assume that all the heat energy is transferred to the water. Suppose the inlet water temperature is 12° C and the flow rate is 8.0 L/min (about that of a standard shower head).

3. Nitrogen gas @ 90° F (MW=28) goes through a compressor, increasing its pressure from 10 psi to 65 psi. The temperature remained constant throughout. Determine the work in Hp for a steady flow process; AKE=0, APE=0; mass flow rate of nitrogen is 2 Ibm/min.
A pump that is driven by a 7.5 hp motor takes water in at 720 degrees F and 5 psig and discharges it at 60 psig at a flow rate of 600 lbm/min. If no heat is transferred between the water in the pump and the surroundings, what will be the temperature of the water leaving the pump?
A refrigerated compartment is maintained at a temperature of -5°C. Heat from the surroundings, at 25°C, leaks into the compartment at a rate of 1.2 kW. Find the compressor power required to maintain the temperature difference for the following scenarios:
The temperature inside a kitchen freezer is a constant 256 K, while the temperature of the air in the kitchen is a constant 302 K. The freezer's insulation is imperfect, and it conducts energy into its interior at a rate of 0.150 W. Assuming the freezer can be approximated as ideal (operating in a Carnot cycle), what is the average power required by the freezer's motor to maintain the constant interior temperature? W Need Help?

Refrigerant vapor rejects 70 kW of heat as it passes through an air- cooled condenser. The condenser has an air-side area of 210 m2 and based on this area, has an overall heat transfer coefficient of 0.037 kW/m2.°C. Cooling air flows at a rate of 7.59 kg/s. If condensation of the refrigerant occurs at 55°C, what is the outlet temperature (in °C) of the air? Take the specific heat of air to be 1.02 kJ/kg.°C.
A heat pump is used for warming a house during winter and cooling it over summer. The temperature inside the house is set to 19o C during winter and 24o C during summer. The heat is transferred through the house walls and is estimated to be 2200 kJ/hro C. During winter, the outside temperature is 2o C. What is the maximal power required to operate the pump engine? Using the maximal power obtained for (a) to cool down the house during summer. If the house temperature should be maintained on 24o C, what will be the maximum temperature outside?
Q5. A simple vapour compression refrigeration system of 60 kW cooling capacity that uses a water-cooled condenser. The power required by the compressor is 10 kW. The overall heat transfer coefficient of the condenser is 350 W/m².K and a heat transfer area of 17 m².

The pump in the figure compresses the unit mass of water from 10 kPs pressure to 4 MPa. The pump is adiabatic and its efficiency is 0.75. Calculate the actual job and reversible work of the pump.
A vacuum refrigeration system consists of a large insulated flash chamber kept at low pressure by steam ejector which pumps vapor to a condenser. Condensate is removed by condensate to an air vent. Warm return water enters the flash chamber at 13oC, chilled water comes out of the flash chamber at 5oC Vapor leaving the flash chamber has a quality of 0.97 and the temperature in the condenser is 32oC. For 350 kw of refrigeration How much vapor must the steam ejector remove from the flash chamber?
A steam power plant has a high pressure of 2.5 MPa after release from the pump and it maintains 40°C in the condenser. The quality of the stream exiting the turbine is 80%. Solve for the work produced by the turbine and the pump, the heat transfer in the boiler, and heat removed by the condenser. (Answer in kJ/kg)
