Practice Problems Chapter 2
2-36
Water is being heated in a closed pan on top of a range
while being stirred by a paddle wheel. During the
process, 30 kJ of heat is transferred to the water, and 5 kJ
of heat is lost to the surrounding air. The paddle-wheel
work amounts to 500 N ∙ m. Determine the final energy
of the sys-tem if its initial energy is 10 kJ

Practice Problems Chapter 2
2-37
A vertical piston-cylinder device contains water and is
being heated on top of a range. During the process, 65 kJ
of heat is transferred to the water, and heat losses from
the side walls amount to 8 kJ. The piston rises as a result
of evaporation, and 5 kJ of work is done by the vapor.
Determine the change in the energy of the water for this
process

At winter design conditions, a house is projected to lose
heat at a rate of 60,000 kJ/h. The internal heat gain from
people, lights, and appliances is estimated to be 6000
kJ/h. If this house is to be heated by electric resistance
heaters, determine the required rated power of these
heaters in kW to maintain the house at constant
temperature.

Practice Problems Chapter 2
2-43
Consider a room that is initially at the outdoor
temperature of 20°C. The room contains a 40-W
lightbulb, a 110-W TV set, a 300-W refrigerator, and a
1200-W iron. Assuming no heat transfer through the
walls, determine the rate of increase of the energy
content of the room when all of these electric devices
are on

Consider a 1400-kg car cruising at constant speed of 70
km/h. Now the car starts to pass another car, by
accelerating to 110 km/h in 5 s. Determine the additional
power needed to achieve this acceleration. What would
your answer be if the total mass of the car were only 700
kg?

greater than either the turbine efficiency or the
generator efficiency? Explain.

A geothermal pump is used to pump brine whose
density is 1050 kg/m3 at a rate of 0.3 m3/s from a depth
of 200 m. For a pump efficiency of 74 percent, determine
the required power input to the pump. Disregard
frictional losses in the pipes, and assume the geo
thermal water at 200 m depth to be exposed to the
atmosphere.

The water in a large lake is to be used to generate
electricity by the installation of a hydraulic turbine-
generator at a location where the depth of the water is
50 m. Water is to be supplied at a rate of 5000 kg/s. If
the electric power generated is measured to be 1862 kW
and the generator efficiency is 95 percent, determine (a)
the overall efficiency of the turbine—generator, (b) the
mechanical efficiency of the turbine, and (c) the shaft
power supplied by the turbine to the generator.

At a certain location, wind is blowing steadily at 7 m/s.
Determine the mechanical energy of air per unit mass
and the power generation potential of a wind turbine
with 80-m-diameter blades at that location. Also
determine the actual electric power generation
assuming an overall efficiency of 30 percent. Take the air
density to be 1.25 kg/m3
.

Water is pumped from a lake to a storage tank 15  m
above at a rate of 70 L/s while consuming 15.4 kW of
electric power. Disregarding any frictional losses in the
pipes and any changes in kinetic energy, determine
(a) the overall efficiency of the pump–motor unit and
(b) the pressure difference between the inlet and the
exit of the pump.

Practice Problems Chapter 2
2-67
Water is pumped from a lower
reservoir to a higher reservoir by a
pump that provides 20 kW of shaft
power.
The free surface of the upper
reservoir is 45 m higher than that
of the lower reservoir. If the flow
rate of water is measured to be
0.03 m3/s, determine mechanical
power that is converted to thermal
energy during this process due to
frictional effects. 12

An oil pump is drawing 44 kW of electric power while
pumping oil with ρ=5860 kg/m3 at a rate of 0.1 m3/s. The
inlet and outlet diameters of the pipe are 8 cm and 12 
cm, respectively. If the pressure rise of oil in the pump is
measured to be 500 kPa and the motor efficiency is
90 percent, determine the mechanical efficiency of the
pump.
