A nozzle is a device for increasing the velocity of a steadily flowing stream of fluid. At the inlet to a certain nozzle, the specific enthalpy of the fluid is 3320 kJ/kg and the velocity is 60 m/s. At the exit from the nozzle the specific enthalpy is 2530 kJ/kg. The nozzle is horizontal, and the heat supply, the heat loss, the work input, and the work output to or from the nozzle are all negligible. (a) Determine the velocity at the nozzle exit

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. The valve is closed when the last drop of liquid in the tank is vaporized. Determine the total heat transfer for this process. R-134a, Sat. mixture P = 170 psia V = 1.5 ft³
Argon gas flows through a well-insulated nozzle at steady state. The temperature and velocity at the inlet are 570°R and 150 ft/s, respectively. At the exit, the temperature is 460°R and the pressure is 40 lb/in². The area of the exit is 0.0085 ft². Use the ideal gas model with k = 1.67, and neglect potential energy effects. Determine the velocity at the exit, in ft/s, and the mass flow rate, in lb/s.
2-64 Nitrogen enters a steady-flow heat exchanger at 150 kPa, 10°C, and 100 m/s, and it receives heat in the amount of 120 kJ/kg as it flows through it.

Air with a mass flow rate of 5 kg/s enters a horizontal nozzle operating at steady state at 450 K, 350 kPa, and velocity of 3 m/s. The nozzle is well insulated. At the exit, pressure is 300 kPa and temperature is 390 K. Using the ideal gas model for air, the area at the inlet is m², and the velocity at the outlet is Are potential effects negligible? Why? m/s. Is heat transfer negligible? Why? Note that you may choose to model the specific heat as constant.
Blowers are used in wastewater treatment plants to assist microorganisms in degrading pollutants. The impeller of a centrifugal blower has a radius of 15 cm and a blade width of 6.1 cm at the inlet, and a radius of 30 cm and a blade width of 3.4 cm at the outlet. The blower delivers atmospheric air at 20°C and 95 kPa. Disregarding any losses and assuming the tangential components of air velocity at the inlet and the outlet to be equal to the impeller velocity at respective locations, determine the volumetric flow rate of air when the rotational speed of the shaft is 800 rpm and the power consumption of the blower is 120 W. Also determine the normal components of velocity at the inlet and outlet of the impeller.
A Carnot vapor refrigeration cycle operates between thermal reservoirs at 7°C and 28°C.

3 A tank contains 100 gal of brine in which 50 lb of salt is dissolved. Brine containing 2 lb/gal of salt runs into the tank at the rate of 3 gal/min; and the mixture, assumed to be kept uniform by stirring, runs out at the rate of 2 gal/min. Assuming that the tank is sufficiently large to avoid overflow, find the amount of salt in the tank as a function of the time t. When will the con- centration of salt in the tank reach Ib/gal? How much salt is in the tank at the end of 30 min? Work Exercise 3 with the rates of influx and efflux interchanged, and find the amount of salt in the tank after 1 h instead of at the end of 30 min. Under these circumstances, when will the 4 tank contain the maximum amount of salt, and what is this amount?

Water is the working fluid in a Rankine cycle. Steam exits the steam generator at 1500 lbf/in.2 and 1100°F. Due to heat transfer and frictional effects in the line connecting the steam generator and turbine, the pressure and temperature at the turbine inlet are reduced to 1400 lbf/in.2 and 1000°F, respectively. Both the turbine and pump have isentropic efficiencies of 90%. Pressure at the condenser inlet is 2 lbf/ in.2, but due to frictional effects the condensate exits the condenser at a pressure of 1.5 lbf/in.2 and a temperature of 110°F. The condensate is pumped to 1600 lbf/in.2 before entering the steam generator. The net power output of the cycle is 1 x 108 Btu/h. Cooling water experiences a temperature increase from 60°F to 76°F, with negligible pressure drop, as it passes through the condenser.Determine for the cycle:(a) the mass flow rate of steam, in lb/h.(b) the rate of heat transfer, in Btu/h, to the working fluid passing through the steam generator.(c) the percent thermal…
