A gas turbine draws in air from atmosphere at 1 bar and 150C and compresses it to 4.5 bar. The air is heated to 1100 K at constant pressure and then expanded through two stages in series back to 1 bar. The high pressure turbine is connected to the compressor and produces just enough power to drive it. The low pressure stage is connected to an external load and produces 100 kW of power. For the compressor y= 1.4 and for the turbines y = 1.3. The gas constant is 0.287 kJ/kg K for both. Neglect the increase in mass due to the addition of fuel for burning. Assume the specific heat of the gas in the combustion chamber is the same as that for the turbines. Calculate the following. i. The specific heat Cp of the air and the burned mixture. (1.005 and 1.243) ii. The mass flow of air. (0.407 kg/s) 111. The inter-stage pressure of the turbines. (2.67 bar) iv. The thermal efficiency of the cycle. (30%)

A Carnot refrigeration cycle is used as a reference to estimate the energy needed in an attempt to reduce the temperature of a laboratory sample to absolute zero. Suppose you want to remove 0.01 J of energy from the sample that is at 2x10-6K. If the high temperature is 20°C, the heat required is 982.05x10-5J. Analyzing these considerations, calculate the increase in laboratory entropy and the decrease in entropy in the sample.

An electric water heater is fed with an input stream of 15.0 kg/min of water at 17.5°C. Hot water is then provided as two different output streams, one at 43.0°C and the other at 60.0°C. The volume of the water in the tank remains constant and the mass flowrate of the outlet stream at 43.0°C is 10.5 kg/min. Perform the following activities, i. Draw a detailed flowchart for this process with all given information. ii. Calculate the power, Q (in kW) that the electric heater must provide in order to keep the temperatures of the outlet streams at 43.0°C and at 60.0°C, respectively.
