- A 40-lb aluminum bar, initially at Ta = 150oF, is placed in a tank together with 190 lb of liquid water, initially at Tw = 70oF, and allowed to achieve thermal equilibrium. The aluminum bar and water can be modeled as incompressible with specific heats ca = 0.216 Btu/lb·oR and cw = 0.998 Btu/lb·oR, respectively. Consider the aluminum bar and water as the system and ignore heat transfer between the system and its surroundings.

The diffuser is not well isolated and losses 1.5 kJ/s of heat to its surrounding. Water vapor enters this diffuser at 700 m/s, 200°C and 1 MPa, and discharges to a chamber which pressure is about 2 MPa. The diffuser wall has an average temperature of about 240°C during its operation. If the flow rate of the diffuser is 0.25 kg/s, and we assume the process of the diffuser is internally reversible and changes in potential energy is negligible, determine the temperature and velocity of the working fluid at the diffuser discharge.

- A device submitted to the Pa- tent Office is shown schemati- cally in the figure to the right. Its inventor claims that it can generate 10 kW of electrical power continuously, using only 0.03 kg/s of low-pressure (2 bar) saturated steam, which exits as a mixture of liquid and gas also at 2 bar. A stream of cooling water (0.3 kg/s, liquid at 1 bar) is used in the device; the patent application lists its entrance and exit temperatures as 20 °C and 40 °C, respectively. The de- vice does not have any other heat or material exchanges with the environ- ment. You are asked to give your fully justified opinion as to whether steady-state operation of this device is (or is not) thermodynamically per- missible.
