Work is done on an adiabatic system due to which its
velocity changes from 10 m/s to 20 m/ s. elevation
increases by 20 m and temperature increases by 1 K. The
mass of the system is 10 kg. Cv= 100 J/(kg K) and
gravitational acceleration is 10 m/s². If there is no
change in any other component of the energy of the
system, the magnitude of total work done (in kJ) on the
system is
A compressor requires a mechanical work rate equal to 77 kW for increasing the pressure of 40 kg/min of air from 178 kPa to 685 kPa. The inlet temperature of air is 332 K and thermal dissipation towards the environment amounts to 6 kW. Take the air specific heat constant cp=1.1 kJ/(kg K). If kinetic and potential energy differences can be neglected, determine the air temperature at outlet in K to 1 decimal place.
