A nozzle is a device for increasing the velocity of a steadily flowing stream of fluid. At the inlet to a certain nozzle, the specific enthalpy of the fluid is 3320 kJ/kg and the velocity is 60 m/s. At the exit from the nozzle the specific enthalpy is 2530 kJ/kg. The nozzle is horizontal, and the heat supply, the heat loss, the work input, and the work output to or from the nozzle are all negligible. (a) Determine the velocity at the nozzle exit

A vapor compression refrigeration cycle uses steam as the working fluid. Steamflows steadily with a mass ow rate of 0.5 kg/s. Saturated vapor at 2.0 o C (State 1) enters an uninsulated compressor and it is compressed to 0.35 bar (State 2). Heat transfer at the rate of 105 kJ/s occurs from the compressor to its surroundings and the heat transfer exactly balances the entropy generation rate so that s2 = s1. The boundary and surrounding temperature of the compressor is measured to be 26.67 o C. Steam exits as saturated liquid at 0.34 bar (State 3) from the condenser. Steam leaving the condenser is then throttled in an expansion valve (State 4) before entering a constant pressure evaporator to complete the thermodynamic cycle.

Water is the working fluid in a Rankine cycle. Steam exits the steam generator at 1500 lbf/in.2 and 1100°F. Due to heat transfer and frictional effects in the line connecting the steam generator and turbine, the pressure and temperature at the turbine inlet are reduced to 1400 lbf/in.2 and 1000°F, respectively. Both the turbine and pump have isentropic efficiencies of 90%. Pressure at the condenser inlet is 2 lbf/ in.2, but due to frictional effects the condensate exits the condenser at a pressure of 1.5 lbf/in.2 and a temperature of 110°F. The condensate is pumped to 1600 lbf/in.2 before entering the steam generator. The net power output of the cycle is 1 x 108 Btu/h.
