A 4-m x 5-m X 6-m room is to be heated by a base- board resistance heater. It is desired that the resistance heater be able to raise the air temperature in the room from 7 to 23°C within 15 min. Assuming no heat losses from the room and an atmospheric pressure of 100 kPa, determine the required power of the resistance heater. Assume constant specific heats at room temperature. Answer: 1.91 kW

It is well known that the power consumed by a compressor can be reduced by cooling the gas during compression. Inspired by this, somebody proposes to cool the liquid as it flows through a pump, in order to reduce the power consumption of the pump. Would you support this proposal? Explain.

An air-conditioning system is to befilled from a rigid container that initiallycontains 43 kg of liquid R-134a at 48 °C.

It is common knowledge that the temperature of air rises as it is compressed. An inventor thought about using this high-temperature air to heat buildings. He used a compressor driven by an electric motor. The inventor claims that the compressed hot-air system is 25 percent more efficient than a resistance heating system that provides an equivalent amount of heating. Is this claim valid, or is this just another perpetualmotion machine? Explain.
The movement of 4.2 kilograms of gas through an isentropic pump requires 85 kilowatts of power. Find the power saved or increased if the process is changed to be isothermal and the Cv=0.886 kJ/kg-K and the Cp=1.758 kJ/kg-K. The final pressure is 22 psia, and the initial pressure was 850 mmHg, and the initial temperature was 38°C.
An inventor claims to have devised a process using only saturated steam at 100C which by a complicated series of steps, make heat continuously available at T of 177C. He claims further that, for every kilogram of steam taken into the process, 1800 kJ of energy as heat is liberated at this higher T of 177C. Show whether or not such a process is possible. In order to give the inventor the benefit of any doubt, assume cooling water to be available in unlimited quantity at 0C. topic: introduction to chemical engineerint thermodynamics
A piston-cylinder device initially contains 1.4 kg of refrigerant-134a at 100 kPa and 20oC. Heatis now transferred to the refrigerant from a source at 150oC, and the piston, which is resting on aset of stops, starts moving when the pressure inside reaches 120 kPa. Heat transfer continuesuntil the temperature reaches 80oC. Assuming the surroundings to be at 25oC and 100 kPa,determine the second-law efficiency of this process.
