Engineering Thermodynamics (CH161)

Tutorial-5

1. Calculate the total work, in Btu, for process 1–3 shown


in Fig. below.

2. A frictionless piston–cylinder device contains 5 kg of


nitrogen at 100 kPa and 250 K. Nitrogen is now compressed
slowly according to the relation PV1.4 = constant until it
reaches a final temperature of 360 K. Calculate the work
input during this process.

3. Determine the internal energy change of hydrogen, in kJ/kg, as it is heated from 200 to
800 K, using (a) the empirical specific heat equation as a function of temperature (Table
A–2c), (b) the cv value at the average temperature (Table A–2b), and (c) the cv value at
room temperature (Table A–2a).

4. Complete the table below based on the conservation of energy principle for a closed
system.
Qin Wout E1 E2 m e2 - e1
(kJ) (kJ) (kJ) (kJ) (kg) (kJ/kg)
350 --- 1020 860 3 ---
350 130 550 --- 5 ---
--- 260 600 --- 2 150
-500 --- 1400 900 7 ---
--- -50 1000 --- 3 -200

5. An insulated tank is divided into two parts by a partition. One


part of the tank contains 2.5 kg of compressed liquid water at
60°C and 600 kPa while the other part is evacuated. The
partition is now removed, and the water expands to fill the
entire tank. Determine the final temperature of the water and
the volume of the tank for a final pressure of 10 kPa.
6. Stainless steel ball bearings (ρ = 8085 kg/m3 and cp = 0.480 kJ/kg·8C) having a
diameter of 1.2 cm are to be quenched in water at a rate of 800 per minute. The balls
leave the oven at a uniform temperature of 900oC and are exposed to air at 25oC for a
while before they are dropped into the water. If the temperature of the balls drops to
850oC prior to quenching, determine the rate of heat transfer from the balls to the air.

7. Steam flows steadily through an adiabatic turbine. The inlet conditions of the steam are 4
MPa, 500oC, 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.

8. Refrigerant-134a enters the compressor of a refrigeration system as saturated vapor at


0.14 MPa, and leaves as superheated vapor at 0.8 MPa and 60°C at a rate of 0.06 kg/s.
Determine the rates of energy transfers by mass into and out of the compressor. Assume
the kinetic and potential energies to be negligible.
