1. A piston–cylinder device with a set of stops initially contains 0.6 kg of steam at 1.0 MPa
and 400°C. The location of the stops corresponds to 40 percent of the initial volume. Now
the steam is cooled. Determine the compression work if the final state is (a) 1.0 MPa and
250°C and (b) 500 kPa. (c) Also determine the temperature at the final state in part (b).
2. An adiabatic air compressor is to be powered by a direct-coupled adiabatic steam turbine
that is also driving a generator. Steam enters the turbine at 12.5 MPa and 500°C at a rate
of 25 kg/s and exits at 10 kPa and a quality of 0.92. Air enters the compressor at 98 kPa
and 295 K at a rate of 10 kg/s and exits at 1 MPa and 620 K. Determine the net power
delivered to the generator by the turbine.

3. A steam turbine operates with 1.6 MPa and 350°C steam at its inlet and saturated vapor at
30°C at its exit. The mass flow rate of the steam is 22 kg/s, and the turbine produces 12,350
kW of power. Determine the rate at which heat is lost through the casing of this turbine.

4. An insulated vertical piston–cylinder device initially contains 0.8 m3 of refrigerant-134a at


1.4 MPa and 120°C. A linear spring at this point applies full force to the piston. A valve
connected to the cylinder is now opened, and refrigerant is allowed to escape. The spring
unwinds as the piston moves down, and the pressure and volume drop to 0.7 MPa and 0.5
m3 at the end of the process. Determine (a) the amount of refrigerant that has escaped and
(b) the final temperature of the refrigerant.

5. Figure below provides data for water entering and exiting a tank. At the inlet and exit of
the tank, determine the mass flow rate, each in kg/s. Also find the time rate of change of
mass contained within the tank, in kg/s.

6. As shown in Figure below, steam at 80 bar, 440°C, 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, 400°C. 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.

7. Hot exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine are to be used to produce saturated
water vapor at 2 MPa pressure. The exhaust gases enter the heat exchanger at 400°C at a
rate of 32 kg/min while water enters at 15°C. The heat exchanger is not well insulated, and
it is estimated that 10 percent of heat given up by the exhaust gases is lost to the
surroundings. If the mass flow rate of the exhaust gases is 15 times that of the water,
determine (a) the temperature of the exhaust gases at the heat exchanger exit and (b) the

rate of heat transfer to the water. Use the constant specific heat properties of air for the
exhaust gases.

8. Steam flows steadily through an adiabatic turbine. The inlet conditions of the steam are 4
MPa, 500°C, and 80 m/s, and the exit conditions are 30 kPa, 92 percent quality, and 50
m/s. The mass flow rate of the steam is 12 kg/s. Determine (a) the change in kinetic energy,
(b) the power output, and (c) the turbine inlet area.

9. An insulated piston-cylinder device initially contains 1.8-kg saturated liquid water at


120°C. Now an electric resistor placed in the tank is turned on for 10 min until the volume
quadruples. Determine (a) the volume of the tank, (b) the final temperature, and (c) the
electrical power rating of the resistor.

10. As shown in figure below, a pump operating at steady state draws water from a pond and
delivers it through a pipe whose exit is 90 ft above the inlet. At the exit, the mass flow rate
is 10 lb/s. There is no significant change in water temperature, pressure, or kinetic energy
from inlet to exit. If the power required by the pump is 1.68 hp, determine the rate of heat
transfer between the pump and its surroundings, in hp and Btu/min. Let g 5 32.0 ft/s2
