Chapter 1, Problem 1.67P
In beauty salons and in homes, a ubiquitous device is the hairdryer. The front end of a typical hairdryer is idealized as a thin-walled cylindrical duct with a 6-cm diameter with a fan at the inlet that blows air over an electric heating coil as schematically shown in the figure. The design of this appliance requires two power settings, with which the air blown over the electric heating coil is heated from the ambient temperature of

Example A 5-hp fan is used in a large room to provide for air
circulation. Assuming a well-insulated, sealed room determine the
internal energy increase after 1 h of operation.
In a household refrigerator, the condenser is vertically mounted at the outer backof the unit, the freezer (evaporator) on the topmost compartment, and thevegetable compartment at the very bottom. Explain why?
A steam power plant is located in the northern part of the country. Steam in the plant flows steadily through a 0.17-m diameter pipeline from the steam generating unit (SGU) to the steam turbine. At the SGU end, the steam conditions are determined to be P = 4 MPa, t = 400°C, h = 3,247 kJ/kg, and specific volume = 0.181 m³/kg. At the steam turbine end, the conditions are found to be P = 3.5 MPa, t = 392°C, h = 3,178.3 kJ kg, and specific volume = 0.248 m³/kg. Heat loss from the pipeline is 7.86 kJ/kg. Determine the steam mass flow rate in kg/s.
