A local shop is maintained at 101.3 kPa and 19oC. The air inside the shop is forced to leave at a rate of 150 m3/h as a result of outdoor air at 8oC infiltrating into the shop through the cracks. Determine the rate of net energy loss of the shop due to mass transfer. The gas constant of air is R = 0.287 kPa•m3/kg•K.

The excess internal energy of metabolism is exhausted through a variety of channels, such as through radiation and evaporation of perspiration. Consider another pathway for energy loss: moisture in exhaled breath. Suppose you breathe out 22.0 breaths per minute, each with a volume of 0.600 L. Suppose also that you inhale dry air and exhale air at 37C containing water vapor with a vapor pressure of 3.20 kPa. The vapor comes from the evaporation of liquid water in your body. Model the water vapor as an ideal gas. Assume its latent heat of evaporation at 37C is the same as its heat of vaporization at 100.C. Calculate the rate at which you lose energy by exhaling humid air.
One process for decaffeinating coffee uses carbon dioxide ( M=44.0 g/mol) at a molar density of about 14,0 mol/m3 and a temperature of about 60 . (a) Is CO2 a solid, liquid, gas, or supercritical fluid under those conditions? (b) The van der Waals constants for carbon dioxide are a=0.3658 Pa m6/mol2 and b=4.286105 m3/mol.

An insulated rigid tank is divided into two equal parts by a partition. Initially, one part contains4.5 kgof argon gas at300kPaand.70∘C, and the other side is evacuated. The partition is now removed, and the gas fills the entire tank. Assuming the surroundings to be at25∘C, determine the exergy destroyed during this process. The gas constant of argon isR=0.2081 kJ/kgK. The exergy destroyed during this process is k.
