1. Liquid propane enters an initially empty cylindrical storage tank at a mass flow rate of 10 kg/s. Flow
continues until the tank is filled with propane at 20oC, 9 bar. The tank is 25-m long and has a 4-m
diameter. Determine the time, in minutes, to fill the tank.
2. How does the control volume energy rate balance account for work where mass flows across the
boundary?
G2, G10
3. Steam enters a turbine operating at steady state with a mass flow rate of 4600 kg/h. The turbine
develops a power output of 1000 kW. At the inlet, the pressure is 60 bar, the temperature is 400oC,
and the velocity is 10 m/s. At the exit, the pressure is 0.1 bar, the quality is 0.9 (90%), and the velocity
is 50 m/s. Calculate the rate of heat transfer between the turbine and surroundings, in kW.
G3, G11
4. Air enters a one-inlet, one-exit control volume at 6 bar, 500 K, and 30 m/s through a flow area of 28
cm2. At the exit, the pressure is 3 bar, the temperature is 456.5 K, and the velocity is 300 m/s. The air
behaves as an ideal gas. For steady-state operation, determine (a) the mass flow rate, in kg/s. (b) the
exit flow area, in cm2.
G4, G12
5. As shown in Fig. 4.1, steam at 80 bar, 440oC, enters a turbine operating at steady state with a
volumetric flow rate of 236 m3/min. Twenty percent of the entering mass flow exits through a
diameter of 0.25 m at 60 bar, 400oC. The rest exits through a diameter of 1.5 m with a pressure of 0.7
bar and a quality of 90%. Determine the velocity at each exit duct, in m/s.

G5, G13
6. Steam enters a horizontal pipe operating at steady state with a specific enthalpy of 3000 kJ/kg and a
mass flow rate of 0.5 kg/s. At the exit, the specific enthalpy is 1700 kJ/kg. If there is no significant
change in kinetic energy from inlet to exit, determine the rate of heat transfer between the pipe and its
surroundings, in kW.
G6, G14
7. Refrigerant 134a enters a horizontal pipe operating at steady state at 40oC, 300 kPa and a velocity of
40 m/s. At the exit, the temperature is 50oC and the pressure is 240 kPa. The pipe diameter is 0.04 m.
Determine (a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, in kg/s, (b) the velocity at the exit, in m/s, and (c)
the rate of heat transfer between the pipe and its surroundings, in kW.
G7, G15
8. Steam enters the first-stage turbine shown in Fig. 4.2 at 40 bar and 500oC with a volumetric flow rate
of 90 m/min. Steam exits the turbine at 20 bar and 400oC. The steam is then reheated at constant
pressure to 500oC before entering the second-stage turbine. Steam leaves the second stage as saturated
vapor at 0.6 bar. For operation at steady state, and ignoring stray heat transfer and kinetic and
potential energy effects, determine the (a) mass flow rate of the steam, in kg/h. (b) total power
produced by the two stages of the turbine, in kW. (c) rate of heat transfer to the steam flowing through
the reheater, in kW.

9. A rigid, well-insulated tank of volume 0.5 m3 is initially evacuated. At time t = 0, air from the
surroundings at 1 bar, 21oC begins to flow into the tank. An electric resistor transfers energy to the air
in the tank at a constant rate of 100 W for 500 s, after which time the pressure in the tank is 1 bar.
What is the temperature of the air in the tank, in oC, at the final time?
Example:
Air as an ideal gas flows through the turbine and heat exchanger arrangement shown in Fig. 4.3. Data for
the two flow streams are shown on the figure. Heat transfer to the surroundings can be neglected, as can
all kinetic and potential energy effects. Determine T, in K, and the power output of the second turbine, in
kW, at steady state.
