A closed, expandable system like that shown below is operated in an adiabatic manner. First, 15,000 lb;ft of work are done by this system. Then, work is applied to the stirring device to raise the internal energy of the fluid by 10.28 Btu. 1) Calculate the net increase in the internal energy of this system, and 2) explain how you could calculate the change in temperature of the system. 00 2019 McGraw-Hill Education
In determining the average rate of heating of a tank of 20% sugar syrup, thetemperature at the beginning was 20°C and it took 30 min to heat to 80°C. Thevolume of the sugar syrup was 50 ft3 and its density 66.9 lb/ft3. The specific heat ofthe sugar syrup is 0.9 Btu lb-1°F-1.(a) Convert the specific heat to kJ kg-1°C-1.(b) Determine the rate of heating, that is the heat energy transferred in unit time, in SI units (kJ s-1)

THERMOFLUID A student living in a 3-m X 4-m X 4-m dormitory room turns on her 100-W fan before she leaves the room on a summer day, hoping that the room will be cooler when she comes back in the evening. Assuming all the doors and heat trans windows are tightly closed and disregarding any heat fer let through the walls and the windows, determine the temperature in the room when she comes back 8 h later. Use specific heat values at room temperature, and assume room to be at 100 kPa and 20°C in the morning she leaves.

1. In the process of air conditioning in a humidifier, the air at a dry bulb temperature of 20 °C and 25% RH increases its RH to 40%. Determine the amount of moisture added in the humidifier per kg of dry air. = (kg water/kg air). 2. The air has a dry bulb temperature of 34 °C and a wet bulb temperature of 22°C. The liquid is heated in a heater so that the dry bulb temperature increases to 80 °C. Then the air is passed through the corn kernels to dry. The air coming out of the corn kernels is at bulb temperature. dry 55 °C Then this air is passed to the dehumidifier to reduce its RH to 10%. Draw the course of the air change process on a psychrometric diagram. The rate of air flow through the corn kernels and dehumidifier is 4.0 m/s and the cross-sectional diameter of the pile is 0.7 m. a) Determine the amount of water content lost from the pile of corn kernels (in grams of water/second) b) Determine the amount of water content lost from the air when passing through the…
