- A piston cylinder contains 1.25 kg water at 25°C with a constant load on the piston such that the pressure is 300 kPa. A nozzle in a line to the cylinder is opened to enable flow to the outside atmosphere at 100 kPa and 25°C. The process continues until 85% of the initial mass has flowed out. At this point, the temperature of water increased by 10℃. Assume that the process is done in an isobaric manner. Write the mass and energy balance equations and calculate the work (kJ) and heat (kJ) involved in the process if the exit velocity is 40 m/s. For compressed liquid, assume the substance is a saturated liquid at the giventemperature.arrow_forwardces Neon is compressed from 100 kPa and 23°C to 500 kPa in an isothermal compressor. Determine the change in the specific volume and specific enthalpy of neon caused by this compression.

One part of the tank contains 5 kg of compressed liquid water at 65°C and 600 kPa while the other part is evacuated (Hint: For compressed liquids, if tables are not available, use properties of the saturated liquid at the specified temperature).

It may be assumed that ambient atmospheric pressure is 1 bar and that any effects arising from hydrostatic head can be ignored, as can heat losses from the tank to the surrounding environment. The heating medium is saturated steam at 5 bar, which enters a heating coil at the base of the tank at 5 kg/min, loses heat to the water in the tank and condenses to form saturated liquid condensate at this pressure. Using the steam table supplied: a) Find the temperature (°C) and power rating (kW) of the heater coil. b) Find the boiling point of the water in the tank under these conditions, and the time required to bring the water to this temperature. c) Find the proportion of water…arrow_forwardIn a boiler of a steam power plant the incoming water is heated to steam by hot gas flowing around the tube.
