A steam-powered lift system (figure) leverages steam flowing through a pipeline at 1 MPa and 400°C to lift objects using a simple piston-cylinder configuration. To lift an object, it is placed on the piston and then the throttling valve is opened. Steam slowly flows into the well-insulated cylinder from the pipeline and lifts the object to the desired height, after which the valve is shut. The massless piston has a cross-section of 100 cm² and the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. A. If the cylinder is initially evacuated, what is the final temperature of the water in the cylinder after lifting a 2 kN object? B. How much water, in kg, is needed to lift the 2 kN object 10 m? m Steam line

The blades of a wind turbine turn a large shaft at a relatively slow speed. The rotational speed is increased by a gearbox that has an efficiency of 0.93. In turn, the gearbox output shaft drives an electric generator with an efficiency of 0.95. The cylindrical nacelle, which houses the gearbox, generator, and associated equipment, is of length L = 6 m and diameter D = 3 m. If the turbine produces P = 2.5 MW of electrical power, and the air and surroundings temperatures are T = 25 oC and Tsur = 20 oC, respectively, determine the minimum possible operating temperature inside the nacelle. The emissivity of the nacelle is 0.83, and the convective heat transfer coefficient is h = 35 W/m2 .K. The surface of the nacelle that is adjacent to the blade hub can be considered to be adiabatic, and solar irradiation may be neglected. Use Fin or N number of fins to reduce the Ts of the nacelle less than 143 oC
Water is being heated in a close pan on top of a range while being stirred by a paddle wheel. During the process, 30kj of heat are transferred to the water, and 5kj of heat is lost to the surrounding air. The paddle-wheel work amounts to 500 N*m. Determine the final energy of the system if its initial energy is 10kj.
An electric water heater has a capacity of 2 liters. In this heater, the water is initially found as a saturated liquid at 150 kPa. When the water is in this state, the heater automatically turns on and heats the water, which expands at a constant pressure through a movable cover mechanism at the top of the heater, which has an associated work done by the system (Ws). Additionally, the electrical resistance supplies 2.2 MJ to the water. These types of heaters have very good thermal insulation and the surroundings are at normal conditions (25°C and 100 kPa). Based on this information: a) Determine the states of the working substance. b) Determine the minimum work (Wmin) with which the process can be carried out. c) Determine the exergy destroyed during this process.
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.
What is the solution of this problem?
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.
In a piston cylinder system, the gas an initial pressure of 100 kPa and expands from 1.5 m3 to 7.5 m3 with an increase in internal energy amounting to 160 kJ. Calculate the heat gain or loss in the system given the pressure volume relation as P2V is constant, where P is in kPa and V is in m3.
