Carbon dioxide gas is compressed at steady state from a pressure of 22 lb-/in² and a temperature of 32°F to a pressure of 50 lb/in² and a temperature of 100°F. The gas enters the compressor with a velocity of 30 ft/s and exits with a velocity of 80 ft/s. The mass flow rate is 3500 lb/hr. The magnitude of the heat transfer rate from the compressor to its surroundings is 5% of the compressor power input. Use the ideal gas model with cp = 0.21 Btu/lb.ºR and neglect potential energy effects. Determine the flow area at the inlet, in ft², and the power required by the compressor to work, in horsepower.

Oxygen (molar mass 32 k g / k m o l ) expands reversibly in a cylinder behind a piston at a constant pressure of 3.157 bar. The volume initially is 0.0111 m3 and finally is 0.0321 m3; the initial temperature is 17 0C. Calculate the work input during the expansion with the correct unit. Assume oxygen to be a perfect gas and take the specific heat at constant pressure as = 0 . 9 1 7 k J / k g K.
8. In a steady flow apparatus 135 KJ of work is done by each kg of fluid. The specific volume of the fluid, pressure, and speed at the inlet are 0.30 m³/kg, 600 kPa, and 16m/s. The inlet is 32m above the floor and the discharge pipe are at floor level. The discharge conditions are 0.60 m³/kg, 1 bar, and 270 m/s. The total heat loss between the inlet and discharge is 9KJ/kg of fluid. In flowing through this apparatus, does the specific internal energy increase or decrease? And by how much?

A mixing vessel initially contains 3,989.8 lb of liquid fluid. The vessel is fitted with two inlet pipes, one delivering hot fluid at a mass flow rate of 0.454 lb/sec and the other delivering cold fluid at a mass flow rate of 0.288 lb/sec. Fluid exits through a single pipe at a mass flow rate of 1.338 lb/ sec. Calculate the amount of fluid, in lb, in the tank after 16 minutes.

In a steady flow apparatus, a fluid enters with a specific volume of 0.30 m3/kg, a pressure of 540 kPa and a velocity of 25 m/s. The inlet port is 40m above the floor and the outlet port is at the floor level. The fluid exits with a specific volume of 0.82kg/m3, a pressure of 100 kPa and a velocity of 280 m/s. The apparatus produces 140kJ of work per kg of fluid and a 12 kJ/kg of heat loss occurs between the inlet and outlet ports.
