Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.26P
A stream of air at 35°C and a gauge pressure of 0.5 atm (Stream 1) flows into a pipe passing through a heater, emerges at 87°C and 0.2 atm (gauge), and splits into two streams. Stream 2 passes out of the system, and Stream 3 goes through another heater and emerges at 180°C and 0.1 atm (gauge). Flowmeters mounted in all three streams show readings of 3120 L/min (Stream 1), 1940 L/mm (Stream 2), and 3420 L/min (Stream 3).
(a) Show that the system is not functioning properly.
(b) Speculate on several possible causes of the malfunction, and state how you would check each one.

A piston–cylinder device initially contains 0.6 m3 of saturated water vapor at 250 kPa. At this state, the piston is resting on a set of stops, and the mass of the piston is such that a pressure of 300 kPa is required to move it. Heat is now slowly transferred to the steam until the volume becomes 1 m3. Use the data from the steam tables.

A passive solar house was determined to lose heat to the outdoors at an average rate of 50,000
kJ/h during a typical 10-hour winter night. The house is to be maintained at 22°C at all times.
Passive heating is accomplished by 50 glass containers each containing 20 L of water that is
heated to 80°C during the day by absorbing solar energy. A 15-kW back-up electric resistance
heater turns on whenever necessary to keep the house at 22°C. (a) How many hours does the
electric heating system run during a typical winter night? (b) How many hours would the
electric heater run during a typical winter night if the house did not
have passive solar heating? For the density and specific heat of water
at room temperature, use p = 1 kg/L and cp = 4.18 kJ/kg.°C
