A tank containing 20 kg of water at 293.

15 K (20°C) is fitted
with a stirrer that delivers work to the water at the rate of 0.25
kW. How long does it take for the temperature of the water to
rise to 303.15 K (30°C) if no heat is lost from the water? For
water, Cp = 4.18 K kg-1 C-1 .

An incompressible (p = constant) liquid flows steadily through a conduit of
circular cross-section and increasing diameter. At location 1, the diameter is 2.5
cm and the velocity is 2 m s-1 ; at location 2, the diameter is 5 cm.

heated to 523.15 K (250°C). How much heat is required if the vessel has a
negligible heat capacity? If the vessel weighs 100 kg and has a heat capacity of
0.5 kJ kg-1 c-1, how much heat is required?

Nitrogen flows at steady state through a horizontal, insulated pipe with inside
diameter of 38.1 mm. A pressure drop results from flow through a partially
opened valve. Just upstream from the valve the pressure is 690kPa, the
temperature is 322.15 K(49 C), and the average velocity is 6.09 m s. If the
pressure just downstream from the valve is 138 kPa, what is the temperature?
Assume for nitrogen that P V/ T is constant, Cv = (5/2) R, and Cp = (7/2) R.
