Chapter 8, Problem 8.75P

A car or engine takes 2000 J of heat from a reservoir at 500 K, does some work, and discards some heat to a reservoir at 350 K. Find the total entropy change in the engine during one cycle

The turbine section in a jet engine receives gas (assume air) at 1200 K, 800 kPa with an ambient atmosphere at 80 kPa. The turbine is followed by a nozzle open to the atmosphere and all the turbine work drives a compressor receiving air at 85 kPa, 270 K with the same flow rate. Find the turbine exit pressure P₂ so the nozzle has an exit velocity of 800 m/s.

A geothermal powerplant uses steam that enters  a nozzle @ 973.15 K at 300 kpa under a velocity of having 20 m/sec, such that the steam exits at  200 kpa. The operator provides the process that is adiabatic and reversible. Calculate the ff. a. going out velocity of steam b. the going out temperature c. the sp. enthalpy at going out.

A condenser (heat exchanger) brings 1 kg/s water flow at 10 kPa quality 95% to saturated liquid at 10 kPa. The cooling is done by lake water at 20 degree Celsius that returns to the lake at 30 degree Celsius. For an insulated condenser, find the flow rate of cooling water.

A steam is expanded through a nozzle and the enthalphy drop per kg of steam from the initial pressure to the final pressure is 70 kJ. Neglecting the friction, find the velocity of discharge.

The efficiency of Carnot cycle operating at a maximum temperature of 460 oF is 50 %. Find the minimum temperature of the cycle.

Steam to a turbine at a mass flow rate of 1.4 kg/s, 700 kPa pressure and 400 °C enters the temperature. Steam at 100 kPa pressure and 1.4 m3/kg specific volume exits the turbine. Heat transfer from turbine to environment 50 kW, with turbine Since the boundary temperature between the environment is 70 °C, a) Find the power produced by the turbine, entropy produced in the turbine and isentropic efficiency of the turbine. Note: The changes in kinetic and potential energies will be neglected and T (K) = 273 + °C will be taken.

one kg of air is compressed in a cylinder according to the law PV^1.3= constant. If intital temperature is 100°C amd compression ratio is 15, find the work done and change in entropy of air.

Inlet Temp is 300k
