Question
A rigid tank with a volume of 2.5 m3 contains 15 kg of a humid water vapor at 75 ° C. then slowly heat the water. Determine the temperature at which the liquid, which is part of the humid vapor, in the tank evaporates completely. Also describe the process on a T-v diagram with respect to the saturation lines.

- Question 4: You are cooking macaroni in your kitchen which is at 24°C. Your stainless steel spoon (k = 15 W/m.K) is partially immersed in boiling water at 95°C. The handle of your spoon has a rectangular cross section of 0.2 cm x 1.3 cm, and extends 18 cm in the air from the free surface of the water as can be seen in Figure 1. If the average heat transfer coefficient at the exposed surface of the spoon handle is 17 W/(m²K), a) Determine the temperature difference along the exposed surface of the spoon handle. State all your assumptions. b) Is the assumption of uniform temperature distribution on the crossectional area of the spoon handle justified? Give quantitative reasons.

In an adiabatic cooling tower 500 kg/min hot water, is to be cooled from 50°C to 35°C by using air with 25°C dry bulb temperature and 15°C wet bulb temperature. The air leaves the tower with 32°C dry bulb temperature and 85% relative humidity. a. Show the points of inlet and outlet air on the PSYCHROMETRIC chart given below. Read the followings: Absolute humidity and Relative humidity of the inlet air. Absolute humidity and wet bulb temperature of the exit air. b. Calculate the volumetric flow rate of the air used. c. Why do we use cooling towers in process plant?arrow_forwardA person is trying to keep cool on a hot summer day by using a fan and exposing his/her body to air flow. The air temperature is To = 32°C, and the fan is blowing air at a velocity of vo = 5 m/s. The surrounding surfaces are at Tsur = 40°C, and the emissivity of the person can be taken as ɛ = 0.9. If the person is doing light work and generating sensible heat at a rate of 90 W, determine the average temperature of the outer surface of the person. The average human body can be treated as a 30-cm diameter cylinder with an exposed surface area of 1.7 m?.arrow_forward
