Refrigerant 134a enters a compressor with a mass flow rate of 5 kg/s and a negligible velocity. The refrigerant enters the compressor as a saturated vapor at 10°C and leaves the compressor at 1400 kPa with an enthalpy of 281.39 kJ/kg and a velocity of 50 m/s. The rate of work done on the refrigerant is measured to be 132.4 kW. If the elevation change between the compressor inlet and exit is negligible, determine the rate of heat transfer associated with this process, in kW.
In an industrial process, a fuel-air mixture is fitted with a piston. When the mixture is ignited at a constant pressure of 700mm Hg, 2.0 kJ of energy is released and is found to occupy a final volume of 200L. What would be the initial volume occupied by the mixture if all energy released is converted as work done by the system to push the piston?
You are working as an expert witness for an environmental agency. A utility in a neighboring town has proposed a new power plant that produces electrical power P from turbines. The utility claims that the plant will take in steam at temperature Th and reject water at temperature Tc into a flowing cold-water river. The flow rate of the river is Δm/Δt. The agency supervisor is concerned about the effect of dumping warm water on the fish in the river. (a) The utility claims that the power plant operates with Carnot efficiency. With that assumption, you need to determine for a trial presentation by how much the temperature of the water downstream from the power plant will rise due to the rejected energy from the power plant. (b) If you abandon the utility’s claim that the power plant operates at Carnot efficiency and assume a more realistic efficiency e, you need to determine the increase in water temperature in the stream. (c) Finally, you need to testify whether the increase in water…
