Chapter 1, Problem 10P

The temperature of 1 m3 of water is decreased by 10°C. If this thermal energy is used to lift the water vertically against gravity, what is the change in height of the center of mass?

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  Saturated vapor is slowly withdrawn at the top of the tank as energy is transferred by heat to maintain constant pressure.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?
