THERMODYNAMICS, HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER

TUTORIAL NO: 4

FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS (CM/CV)

1. Water (1 kg) at 0.2 MPa is initially enclosed within a volume of 0.10 m3, and the
piston rests on the stops as shown in Figure P4.1. The piston will move when the
pressure is 1.0 MPa. A total heat transfer of 2500 kJ is added to the water. Determine
the work done and the final state of the water.
2. Water is contained in the frictionless piston-cylinder device shown in Figure P4.2.
The H2O is cooled from an initial temperature of 3000C and pressure of 0.8 MPa to a
final pressure of 0.06 MPa. Plot and label the processes on a T-v diagram. Determine
(a) the mass of the H2O, and
(b) the total work done in joules.

3. A vessel having a volume of 5 m3 contains 0.05 m3 of saturated liquid water and 4.95
m3 of saturated water vapor at 0.1 MPa. Heat is transferred until the vessel is filled
with saturated vapor. Determine the heat transfer for this process.
4. Steam enters an adiabatic turbine as saturated vapor at a pressure of 2.5 MPa. It exits
at a pressure of 0.15 MPa and x = 0.98. If mass flow rate is 72 kg/s, what is the
turbine power output?
5. A nonadiabaitc steam turbine operates as shown in Figure P4.5. Determine the rate of
heat transfer (kW).
6. Consider the steady-state flow device shown in Figure P4.6. The medium is steam.
Calculate the shaft power.
7. Steam enters a nozzle operating at steady state with P1 = 40 bar, T1 = 4000C, and a
velocity of 10 m/s. The steam flows through the nozzle with negligible heat transfer
and no significant change in potential energy. At the exit, P2 = 15 bar, and the velocity
is 665 m/s. The mass flow rate is 2 kg/s. Determine the exit area of the nozzle, in m2.

8. In an air compressor air flows steadily at the rate of 0.5 kg/s through an air
compressor. It enters the compressor at 6 m/s with a pressure of 100kPa and a specific
volume of 0.95 m3/kg and leaves at 5 m/s with a pressure of 700 kPa and a specific
volume of 0.19 m3/kg. The internal energy of the air leaving is 90 kJ/kg greater than
that of the air entering. Cooling water in a jacket surrounding the cylinder absorbs
heat from the air at the rate of 58 kW. (a) Compute the rate of shaft work input to the
air in kW. (b) The ratio of the inlet and output pipe diameter.
9. A certain water heater operates under steady flow conditions receiving 4.2 kg/s of
water at 750C temperatures, enthalpy 313.93 kJ/kg. The water is heated by mixing
with steam which is supplied to the heater at temperature 100.20C and enthalpy 2676
kJ/kg. The mixture leaves the heater as liquid water at temperature 100 0C and
enthalpy 419 kJ/kg. Determine the rate at which the steam should be supplied.
10. Air at a temperature of 150C passes through a heat exchanger at a velocity of 30 m/s
where its temperature is raised to 8000C. It then enters a turbine with the same
velocity of 30 m/s and expands until the temperature falls to 6500C. On leaving the
turbine, the air is taken at a velocity of 60 m/s to a nozzle where it expands until the
temperature has fallen to 5000C. If the air flow rate is 2 kg/s, determine: (a) the rate of
heat transfer to the air in the heat exchanger, (b) the power output from the turbine
assuming no heat loss, and (c) the velocity at the exit from the nozzle, assuming no
heat loss. Take the enthalpy of air as h = c pt, where cp is the specific heat equal to
1.005 kJ/kg.

2. 0.475 kg, - 98.53 kJ 7. 4.89  10-4 m2
