Before entering the engine of a BMW320D, air drawn in at 20°C and atmosphericpressure enters the compressor of a turbocharger at a rate of 120 litres per minute.The inlet pipe to the compressor has an internal diameter of 18 mm, the outlet pipeof the compressor has an internal diameter of 26 mm and is axially aligned with theinlet pipe. The compressor raises the pressure and temperature of the exiting air to4 bar (absolute) and 161°C. Calculate the mass flow rate of air through the compressor.

Five hundred kilograms per hour of steam moves a turbine. The steam enters the turbine at 44 atm and 450°C with a speed linear 60 m/s, and exits at a point 5 m below the inlet, at pressure atmospheric and at a speed of 360 m/s. The turbine provides work on the shaft with a rating of 70 kW, and the heat loss in the turbine is estimated at 104 kcal/h. Calculate the variation in specific enthalpy associated with the process.

The compressed air requirements of a textile factory are met by a large compressor that draws in 0.6 m3/s air at atmospheric conditions of 20°C and 1 bar (100 kPa) and consumes 300 kW electric power when operating. Air is compressed to a gage pressure of 8 bar (absolute pressure of 900 kPa), and compressed air is transported to the production area through a 15-cm-internal-diameter, 83-m-long, galvanized steel pipe with a surface roughness of 0.15 mm. The average temperature of compressed air in the pipe is 60°C. The compressed air line has 8 elbows with a loss coefficient of 0.6 each. If the compressor efficiency is 85 percent, determine the pressure drop and the power wasted in the transportation line.

The liquid storage tank shown in Fig has two inlet streams with mass flow rates w1 and w2 and an exit stream withflow rate w3. The cylindrical tank is 2.5 m tall and 2 m in diam-eter. The liquid has a density of 800 kg/m. Normal operating procedure is to fill the tank until the liquid level reaches a nom-inal value of 1.75 m using constant flow rates:w1=120 kg/min, w2=100 kg/min, and w3=200 kg/min. At that point, inlet low rate w1 is adjusted so that the level remains constant.However, on this particular day, corrosion of the tank has opened up a hole in the wall at a height of 1 m, producing a leak whose volumetric flow rate q4(m3/min) can be approximated by q4=0.025√h−1 where h is height in meters.(a)If the tank was initially empty, how long did it take for theliquid level to reach the corrosion point?(b)If mass flow rates w1,w2,and w3 are kept constant indefi-nitely, will the tank eventually overflow?
