Hot water at 400kPa, 150 deg Celsius is fed to a throttle at a rate of 1.5kg/s and exits at 200kPa. After leaving the throttle, the resulting mixture enters a chamber where the vapor leaves from the top at 200kPa and the liquid leaves from the bottom at 200kPa. What is the mass flow rate of each of the two exit flows?

Superheated vapor ammonia enters an insulatednozzle at 30°C, 1000 kPa, with a low velocity and at the steady rateof 0.01 kg/s. The ammonia exits at 300 kPa with a velocity of 450m/s. Determine the temperature (or quality, if saturated) and theexit area of the nozzle.
An insulated cylinder-plunger device with a constant load contains 2 L of saturated liquid water at a temperature of 80 °C . A paddle wheel agitates the water, contributing 500 kJ to the system, while for 10 min a current of 8 A passes through a 110 V resistor placed in the water. It is correct to state: I) Information is missing to calculate the moving boundary work. II) The final state is a vapor-liquid mixture at 47.42 kPa. III) In the final state, the volume is equal to 0.781 m3/kg IV) The sum between the electric work and the work of the paddlewheel is equal to hfg

I need help with some review problemsfor thermo! thank you Air at 100 kPa and 280K is compressed steadily to 600 kPa and 400K in an air compressor. The mass flow rate of air through the compressor is 0.02 kg/s and the compressor a heat loss of 16 kJ/kg from the compressor occurs. Assuming steady state steady flow conditions and ideal gas behavior (with constant specific heats, Cp=1.009 kJ/kgK, R=0.287 kJ/kgK, determine: a)The necessary power input to the compressor (kW).b)The volumetric flow rate of air at the exit of the compressor (m3/s).
