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.

A 20 kg/s steam enters a turbine at an initial enthalpy of 2456kJ/kg and exits at 1987 kJ/kg. If the kinetic energy of the steam decreases by 10 kJ/s, how much is the turbine work? Draw a schematic diagram,andthen plot the state/s and process, whichever is applicable in a t-sdiagram
Which of the following is incorrect about the overall energy balance and mechanical energy balance in fluid flow phenomena?A. The former only accounts the first law of thermodynamics while the latter includes the second.B. The former only accounts the work brought by changes in the volume while the latter includes the Δ(PV) work.C. The enthalpy of the system for both balance is the sum of the changes in the internal energy and the reversible work at constant pressure.D. The former is not often used to evaluate a system with changing pressure unlike the latter.
