An ice maker operating at steady state makes ice from liquid water at 32°F. Assume that 144 Btu/lb of energy must be removed by heat transfer to freeze water at 32°F and that the surroundings are at 79.0°F. The ice maker consumes 1.4 kW of power. Determine the maximum rate that ice can be produced, in Ib/h, the corresponding rate of heat rejection to the surroundings, in Btu/h, and the maximum coefficient of performance of the cycle.

A water pump operating at steady state has 76 mm diameter inlet and exit pipes, each at the same elevation. The water can be modeled as incompressible and its temperature remains constant at 20°C. For a power input of 1.5 kW, determine the pressure rise from inlet to exit, in kPa at the volumetric flow rate of A m/s (A=0.015 m/s, 0.017 m/s, 0.02 m/s). Plot the A- the pressure rise from inlet to exit in graph.
In a piston cylinder system, a fluid at 0.8 bar occupying 0.07 m³ is compressed reversibly to a pressure of 10.2 bar and specific volume of 0.6 m³/kg according to the law p = c. The fluid then expands reversibly according to the law pv² = c to 1.1 bar. A reversible cooling at constant volume then restores the fluid back to initial state. Calculate the net work for the process in Joules. To 3 d.p. and insert the unit symbol joules.
Air in a closed piston-cylinder arrangement is expanded from the initial pressure of 9 bar and initial volume of 0.023 m to the final state of p = 3 bar. A polytropic relation of pV^1.27 = constant was followed between pressure and volume for the process. The specific internal energy at the initial and final states are 160 and 97 kJ/kg, respectively. The mass of the air is 0.3 kg. Neglecting the effect of kinetic and potential energy, determine the heat transfer, in kJ.

An oil pump operating at steady state delivers oil at a rate of 11 lb/s through a 1-in.-diameter exit pipe. The oil, which can be modeled as incompressible, has a density of 70 Ib/ft³ and experiences a pressure rise from inlet to exit of 40 Ibf/in?. There is no significant elevation difference between inlet and exit, and the inlet kinetic energy is negligible. Heat transfer between the pump and its surroundings is negligible, and there is no significant change in temperature as the oil passes through the pump. Determine the velocity of the oil at the exit of the pump, in ft/s, and the power required for the pump, in hp.
