Question 43 At a science fair, an inventor suggests a hypothetical device that operates permanently and which is fed by a flow rate of 2 kg/s of Air at 400 kg/s kPa and 27 °C. At the outlet there are two distinct air vents that leave the device to the ambient pressure of 100 kPa and same mass flow. One of the outputs is at 57°C while the other output is at -3°C. The ambient temperature is 27 °C during the process. Assuming the device is well insulated, determine: a) The entropy generated on the device; b) Is this device possible?

1. Steam at a pressure of 2MPA and temperature 300°C is passed at a constant rate into a desuperheater unit. The desuperheater is accomplished by continuously spraying water at 95 °C onto incoming superheated steam. The amount of water injected is so regulated that both the water and superheated steam finally change into dry steam at 2 MPa. If the resulting mixture of dry saturated steam leaves the desuperheater at 2MPA and the rate of I kg/s, find the mass of superheated steam used per hour and the mass of water to be injected per hour. Fond also the diameter of the pipe through which the superheated steam flows to the superheater if the speed of the steam through the pipe is not to exceed 25m/s..

Solve the problem. An air compressor (an open system) receives 272 kg per min of air at 99.29 kPa and a specific volume of 0.026 m3/kg. The air flows steadiy through the compressor and is discharged at 689.5 kPa and 0.0051 m3/kg. The initial internal energy of the air is 1594 J/kg; at discharge, the internal energy is 6241 J/kg.
