Chapter 5.5, Problem 164RP
The ventilating fan of the bathroom of a building has a volume flow rate of 30 L/s and runs continuously. The building is located in San Francisco, California, where the average winter temperature is 12.2°C, and it is maintained at 22°C at all times. The building is heated by electricity whose unit cost is $0.12/kWh. Determine the amount and cost of the heat “vented out” per month in winter.

It is common knowledge that the temperature rises as it is compressed. An inventor thought about using this high temperature air to heat buildings. He used a compressor driven by an electric motor. The inventor claims that the compressed hot air system is 25% more efficient than a resistance heating system that provides an equivalent amount of heating. Is this claim valid, or is this just another perpetual motion machine?
Determine the rate of heat released (in kW) by the steam with 88.0% quality thatenters the evaporator at 1800 kg/h at 132C and exits as a subcooled liquid at 100C.Assume that the condensate outlet pressure is the same as the steam inlet pressure.The specific heat of liquid water is 4.187 kJ/kg-C
A steady-flow compressor is used to compress helium from 15 psia and 70 F at the
inlet to 200 psia and 600 F at the outlet. The outlet area and velocity are 0.01 feet
square and 100 ft/sec, respectively and the inlet velocity is 50 ft/sec. What is the
mass flow rate in Ibm/sec?

- A centrifugal pump compresses 3000 liters/min of water from 98 kPa to 300 kPa. The inlet and outlet temperatures are 25°C. The inlet and discharge piping are on the same level, but the diameter of the inlet piping is 15 cm, whereas that of the discharge piping is 10 cm. Determine the pump power in kilowatts.arrow_forwardA high reservoir holds water. Water travels from this reservoir down via a big conduit to a turbine and then down a second, similar-sized conduit to create electricity. The pressure is 172.4 kPa at a location in the conduit 89.5 m above the turbine and 89.6 kPa at a level 5 m below the turbine. The flow rate of water is 0.800 m3/s. The turbine's shaft produces 658 kW of power. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3. Calculate the friction loss in the turbine in J/kg if the turbine's efficiency in transferring the mechanical energy given up by the fluid to the turbine shaft is 89 percent (t = 0.89). It is worth noting that in the mechanical-energy-balance equation, Ws equals the output of the turbine's shaft multiplied by t. Note: Use the equation provided below MECHANICAL ENERGY BALANCES W s + gAz + F = AP F = AÛ • For frictionless processes in which no shaft work is performed, the mechanical energy balance is reduced to: ΔΡ Au² gAz = 0 Bernoulli Equationarrow_forwardA reciprocating compressor draws in 500 ftImin of air whose density is 0.079 Ibm/t° and discharges it at a density of 0.304 Ibm/t°. The pressure in the suction and discharge are 15 psia and 80 psia, respectively. The increase in the specific internal energy is 33.8 BTU/b and the heat transferred from the air by cooling is 13 BTU/lb. Determine the work in the air, in Hp.arrow_forward
- The Figure shows a solar collector panel embedded in a roof. The panel, which has a surface area of 24 ft2, receives energy from the sun at a rate of 200 Btu/h per ft2 of collector surface. Twenty-five percent of the incoming energy is lost to the surroundings. The remaining energy is used to heat domestic hot water from 90 to 120°F. The water passes through the solar collector with a negligible pressure drop. Neglecting kinetic and potential effects, determine at steady state how many gallons of water at 120°F the collector generates per hour.arrow_forwardS A gas expands in a frictionless piston-cylinder arrangement. The expansion process is very slow, and is resisted by an ambient pressure of 100 kPa. During the expansion process, the pressure of the system (gas) remains constant at 300 kPa.

Its inventor claims that it can generate 10 kW of electrical power continuously, using only 0.03 kg/s of low-pressure (2 bar) saturated steam, which exits as a mixture of liquid and gas also at 2 bar. A stream of cooling water (0.3 kg/s, liquid at 1 bar) is used in the device; the patent application lists its entrance and exit temperatures as 20 °C and 40 °C, respectively. The de- vice does not have any other heat or material exchanges with the environ- ment. You are asked to give your fully justified opinion as to whether steady-state operation of this device is (or is not) thermodynamically per- missible.
