calculate the density and specific weight of carbon dioxide at an absolute pressure of 300 kN/m^2 and 60 degree celsius
A tank having a volume of 0.85 m3 initially contains water at 260 oF and x = 0.7. Saturated vapor is slowly withdrawn at the top of the tank as energy is transferred by heat to maintain constant pressure. The process continues until the tank is filled with just saturated vapor. Determine the heat transferred in kJ. Show all your calculations.
A coal-fired power plant discharges 1 m^3/s of cooling water into a river, which has a flow of 9 m^3/s and a temperature of 20 degree C. According to the regulation, the temperature in the river immediately below the discharge cannot be increased by higher than 1 degree C. Therefore, what is the highest temperature of the cooling water is allowed for discharge?

- We have exposed 1 kg of water, 1 kg of brick, and 1 kg of concrete each to a heat source that puts out 100 J every second. Assuming that all of the supplied energy goes to each material and they were all initially at the same temperature, which one of these materials will have a greater temperature rise after 10 s? We can answer this question using Equation as shown . We will first look up the values of the specific heat for water, brick, and concrete, which are cwater = 4180 J⁄kg K, cbrick = 960 J⁄kg K and cconcrete = 880 J⁄kg K . Now applying as shown , Ethermal = mc(Tfinal Tinitial) to each situation, it should be clear that although each material has the same amount of mass and is exposed to the same amount of thermal energy, the concrete will experience a higher temperature rise because it has the lowest heat capacity value among the three given materials.arrow_forwardA brass rod and an aluminum rod are 90.00 cm and 90.06 cm, respectively, at 20°C.
