One kilogram of ammonia initially at 8.0 bar and 50oC undergoes a process to 3.7 bar, 20oC while being rapidly expanded in a piston–cylinder assembly. Heat transfer between the ammonia and its surroundings occurs at an average temperature of 40oC. The work done by the ammonia is 40 kJ.  Kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored.  Determine the heat transfer, in kJ, and the entropy production, in kJ/K.

Air enters a diffuser operating at steady state at 540°R, 15 Ilbf/in.?, with a velocity of 600 ft/s, and exits with a velocity of 60 ft/s. The ratio of the exit area to the inlet area is 6. Assuming the ideal gas model for the air and ignoring heat transfer, determine the temperature, in °R, and pressure, in Ibf/in.?, at the exit.

Refrigerant 134a enters an insulated diffuser as a saturated vapor at 80°F with a velocity of 1400 ft/s. The inlet area is 1.4 in². At the exit, the pressure is 400 lb/in² and the velocity is negligible. The diffuser operates at steady state and potential energy effects can be eglected.
