4- A hair dryer is basically a duct in which a few layers of electric resistors are placed. A small fan pulls the air in and forces it to flow over the resistors where it is heated. Air enters a 1200-W hair dryer at 100 kPa and 22°C, and leaves at 47°C. The cross-sectional area of the hair dryer at the exit is 60 cm. Neglecting the power consumed by the fan and the heat losses through the walls of the hair dryer, determine (a) the volume flow rate of air at the inlet and (b) the velocity of the air at the exit. T = 47°C A,= 60 cm² P, = 100 kPa T = 22°C W, = 1200 W

In a continuous flow open system, the inlet velocity of the flowing fluid is 30 m/s, and the outlet enthalpy is 100 kJ/kg less than the inlet enthalpy. The entry point of the system is 1.5 m higher than the exit point.a) Calculate the exit velocity since the system does not exchange heat and work with its surroundings.b) Since the system is adiabatic and the velocity of the fluid at the outlet is 150 m/s, find the work done by 1 kg of fluid.c) Since there is no heat exchange between the system and its surroundings and the velocity of the fluid at the exit is 30 m/s, find the heat exchange of 1 kg fluid with the environment.

An open feedwater heater heats the feedwater by mixing it with hot steam. Consider an electric power plant with an open feedwater heater that mixes 0.1 lbm/s of steam at 10 psia and 200°F with 2.0 lbm/s of feedwater at 10 psia and 100°F to produce 10 psia and 120°F feedwater at the outlet.

Consider a well-insulated piston-cylinder assembly. The volume of the cylinder is 3.258 m3. You can assume the piston to be frictionless and that it does not occupy a significant volume in the cylinder. Initially the piston is placed such that the entire volume of the cylinder is filled with steam at 100 kPa and 200°C. The cylinder is connected to a pipeline carrying air at 500 kPa and 250°C. The valve between the pipeline and the cylinder is opened slightly allowing air to enter the cylinder very slowly until the pressure in the cylinder reaches 500 kPa. The valve is then turned off. Assume air behaves like an ideal gas with a constant heat capacity of Cp=7R/2. a) What will be the final temperature of the air if the piston is nonconducting? (Note: steam is being compressed adiabatically and very slowly by means of a frictionless piston) b) Suppose the insulation pad at the bottom of the cylinder is removed and heat is transferred to the steam side to keep its temperature constant at…
