Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.

A water fountain is designed to cool water initially at 22.8∘C to a cool 7.7∘C at an average rate of 47 L/hr. It is expected that the water reservoir will absorb 46 W of heat from the surroudings. The refrigeration system has a COP of 1.79. (Assume the water has a constant specific heat.) What is the rate of heat absorption for this water fountain?
A fruit juice is being heated in an indirect heat exchanger using steam as a heating medium. The product fl ows through the heat exchanger at a rate of 1500 kg/h and the inlet temperature is 20C. Determine the quantity of steam required to heat the product to 100C when only latent heat of vaporization (2200 kJ/kg) is used for heating. The specifi c heat of the product is 4 kJ/(kg C).
A six-cylinder refrigerant 22 compressor operating at 29 r/s indicate a refrigerating capacity of 96.4 kW and a power requirement of 28.9 kW at an evaporating temperature of 5°C and condensing temperature of 50°C. The performance data are based on 3°C liquid sub-cooling and 8°C superheating of the suction gas entering the compressor. The cylinder bore is 67 mm and the piston stroke is 57 mm. Compute (a) the clearance volumetric efficiency if the clearance volume is 4.8 percent, (b) the actual volumetric efficiency, and (c) the compression efficiency.
An inventor proposes to make a heat engine using water/ice as the working substance, taking advantage of the fact that water expands as it freezes. A weight to be lifted is placed on top of a piston over a cylinder of water at 1°C. The system is then placed in thermal contact with a low-temperature reservoir at -1°C until the water freezes into ice, lifting the weight. The weight is then removed and the ice is melted by putting it in contact with a high-temperature reservoir at 1°C. The inventor is pleased with this device because it can seemingly perform an unlimited amount of work while absorbing only a finite amount of heat. Explain the flaw in the inventor's reasoning, and use the Clausius-Clapeyron relation to prove that the maximum efficiency of this engine is still given by the Carnot formula, 1 -Tc/Th.
A component in a refrigeration system is the evaporator. It is here that the cold refrigerant picks up heat from a refrigerated space. Figures below illustrate the process. The flow rate through the evaporator is 25kg/h. Determine the heat received from the refrigerated space. The refrigerant is R12 entering at -30°C as a saturated liquid and leaving at +10°C. : Evaporating heat Qin m (R12) Po Evaporator m2(R12)
It is common knowledge that the temperature rises as it is compressed. An inventor thought about using this high temperature air to heat buildings. He used a compressor driven by an electric motor. The inventor claims that the compressed hot air system is 25% more efficient than a resistance heating system that provides an equivalent amount of heating. Is this claim valid, or is this just another perpetual motion machine?

The factor of evaporation is 1.3, boiler rating is 200%, boiler efficiency is 5%, heating surface area is 0.91 m2/boiler Hp, and the heating value of fuel is 18,400 Kcal/kg. The total coal available in the bunker is 50,000 kg. Determine total number of hours to consume the available fuel.
An engineer is proposing a refrigeration system. The refrigeration system is claimed to remove 595 Btu/min of heat from a space at 38 °F, reject the heat at 98 °F, and use 1.4 hp of power. Is this process possible?
A fish freezing plant requires 50 tons of refrigeration. The freezing temperature is – 40°C while theambient temperature is 35°C. If the performance of the plant is 15% of the theoretical reversed Carnotcycle working within the same temperature limits, calculate the power required. Take 1 ton = 210 kJ/ min.
A food factory uses hot water to wash and clean foods. The drained water, which has a mass flow rate of 12 kg/min, still have a temperature of 45°C. consider a concept design solution of waste heat recovery for pre-heating fresh water, which has an inlet temperature of 15°C and mass flow rate of 8 kg/min. A clear justification should be included.
An air conditioner with refrigerant-134a as the refrigerant is used to keep a large space at 20°C by rejecting the waste heat to the outside air at 37 °C. The room is gaining heat through the walls and the windows at a rate of 125 kJ/min while the heat generated by the computer, TV, and lights amounts to 0.7 kW. Unknown amount of heat is also generated by the people in the room. The condenser and evaporator pressures are 1200 and 500 kPa, respectively. The refrigerant is saturated liguid at the condenser exit and saturated vapor at the compressor inlet. If the refrigerant enters the compressor at a rate of 65 L/min and the isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 70%, determine (a) the temperature of the refrigerant at the compressor exit, (b) the rate of heat generated by the people in the room, (c) the COP of the air conditioner, and (d) the minimum volume flow rate of the refrigerant at the compressor inlet for the same compressor inlet and exit conditions.
