- A gasoline engine is 30% efficient, which means it can transfer 30% of the energy heat provides the engine with useful success. If the engine consumes 0.8 L/h of gasoline with consumption index 3.5·104 kJ/L, find the amount of work done in kW and horsepower (hp)arrow_forwardIf H is the work output of a heat engine and Q is the total heat input of an engine, then determine its thermal efficiency.arrow_forwardA chemical plant process a fluid having a flow rate of 5 lb/sec passes through a pipe where heat is transferred at the rate of 50 Btu/sec. How much work can be done by this system if the velocity, enthalpy and the height at the entrance are 100 ft/sec, 1000 Btu/lbm, and 100 ft. respectively. At the exit the values of these quantities are 50 ft/S, 1020 Btu/lbm, and 0 ft.

- In a given process, a heat engine requires 2500J of energy and exhausts 1200J of heat. What is its efficiency?arrow_forwardA heat pump absorbs 10 kW of heat from outside environment at 250 K while absorbing 15 kW of work. It delivers the heat to a room that must be kept warm at 300 K. The Coefficient of performance (COP) of the heat pump isarrow_forwardIn an experimental set-up, 5 kg of salt solution is heated in a glass vessel by a gas burner. An electric stirrer is used to ensure uniform heating of the solution. The internal energy of the solution is to be increased from 200 to 250 KJ/kg in 15 minutes. The power consumption of the stirrer is 30 W. The rate of heat loss from the vessel is 50W. Determine the power of the gas burner required.arrow_forward
- The “Energy Guide” label of a refrigerator states that the refrigerator will consume $170 worth of electricity per year under normal use if the cost of electricity is $0.125/kWh. If the electricity consumed by the lightbulb is negligible and the refrigerator consumes 400 W when running, determine the fraction of the time the refrigerator will run.arrow_forwardWater is being heated in a closed pan on top of a range while being stirred by a paddle wheel. During the process, 34.59 kJ of heat is transferred to the water, and 8.01 kJ of heat is lost to the surrounding air. The paddle-wheel work amounts to 540.56 N ∙ m. Determine the final energy of the system if its initial internal energy is 11.95 kJ.arrow_forwardA gas is contained in a vertical piston-cylinder assembly by a piston with a face area of 50 in² and weight of 100 lbf. The atmosphere exerts a pressure of 14.7 lb-/in² on top of the piston. A paddle wheel transfers 3 Btu of energy to the gas during a process in which the elevation of the piston increases slowly by 1 ft. The piston and cylinder are poor thermal conductors, and friction between the piston and cylinder can be neglected. Determine the work done by the gas on the piston, in Btu, and the change in internal energy of the gas, in Btu. Step 1 * Your answer is incorrect. Determine the expansion work done by the gas on the piston, in Btu.

- Two parallel shafts whose centers are 10 meters apart are connected by an open belt drive with a V-belt with a groove angle of 30°. The diameter of the larger pulley is 1000 mm and that of the smaller pulley is 400 mm. The smaller pulley is running at 1000 rpm to deliver 10 kW of power. The mass of the belt is 1 kg/m. Taking centrifugal tension into account, determine the minimal cross-sectional area if the allowable tensile stress of the belt is 5 MPa. The coefficient of friction between the belt and the pulleys is 0.25.arrow_forwardA mass of 7 kg undergoes a process during which velocity decreases from 32 m/s to 19m/s, while the elevation remain unchanged. The initial specific internal energy of the mass is 1.24 kJ/kg and the final specific internal energy is 2.08 kJ/kg. During the process, the mass receives 2 kJ of energy by heat transfer through its bottom surface and loses 0.8 kJ by heat transfer through its top surface. How much is the work in kJ?
