Chapter 5.5, Problem 8P
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 ft2 and 100 ft/s, respectively, and the inlet velocity is 50 ft/s. Determine the mass flow rate and the inlet area.

A pump is used to raise the pressure of a stream of water from 10 kPa to 0.7 MPa. The temperature of the water is the same at the inlet and outlet and equal to 20°C. The velocity also does not change across the pump. If the mass flow rate is 14 kg/s, what power is needed to drive the pump? Assume frictionless flow and no significant elevation change.
A cooling tower is a device that cools a spray of water by passing it through a stream of air. If 15 m3/s of air at 30°C dry-bulb and 20°C wet-bulb temperature and an atmospheric pressure of 90 kPaa enters the tower and the air leaves
saturated at 28°C. This air stream cool a spray of water entering at 35°C with a flow rate of 20 kg/s. What is the partial vapor pressure of entering air in kPaa?
In a steady flow system, 50 kJ of work is done per
kg of fluid, the values of specific volume pressure
and velocity at the inlet and exit sections are
0.4m3 / kg , 600 kPa and 15 m/s and 0.6 m3 / kg,
100 kPa and 250 m/s respectively. The inlet is 30 m
above the exit. The heat loss from the system is 8
kJ/kg. Calculate the change in internal energy per
kg of fluid.
