The compressed air requirements of a textile factory are met by a large compressor that draws in 0.6 m³/s air at atmospheric conditions of 20°C and 1 bar (100 kPa) and consumes 300 kW electric power when operating. Air is compressed to a gage pressure of 8 bar (absolute pressure of 900 kPa), and compressed air is transported to the production area through a 30-cm-internal-diameter, 83- m-long, galvanized steel pipe with a surface roughness of 0.15 mm. The average temperature of compressed air in the pipe is 60°C. The compressed air line has 8 elbows with a loss coefficient of 0.6 each. If the compressor efficiency is 84 percent, determine the power wasted in the transportation line. The roughness of a galvanized steel pipe is given to be ε = 0.00015 m. The dynamic viscosity of air at 60°C is = 2.008 × 10-5 kg/m-s, and it is independent of pressure. The density of air listed in that table is for 1 atm. The density at 20°C, 100 kPa and 60°C, 900 kPa can be determined from the ideal gas relation to be Pin = Pin = P = Pline = 100 kPa (0.287 kPa-m³/kg-K) (20+273 K) Pline RTline = 1.189 kg/m³ 900 kPa (0.287 kPa-m³/kg-K) (60+273 K) The power wasted in the transportation line is 0.00483 = = = 9.417 kg/m³ kW.

A 1.5-ft³rigid tank contains saturated refrigerant-134 at 170 psia. Initially, 20 percent of the volume is occupied by liquid and the rest by vapor. A valve at the top of the tank is now opened, and vapor is allowed to escape slowly from the tank. Heat is transferred to the refrigerant such that the pressure inside the tank remains constant.
