- A 0.05-m3 rigid tank initially contains refrigerant134a at 0.8 MPa and 100 percent quality. The tank is connected by a valve to a supply line that carries refrigerant-134a at 1.2 MPa and 40°C. Now the valve is opened, and the refrigerant is allowed to enter the tank. The valve is closed when it is observed that the tank contains saturated liquid at 1.2 MPa. Determine the amount of heat transfer.arrow_forwardIn a gas turbine plant, air enters the compressor at ambient conditions of 100 kPa and 25°C with a low velocity and exits at 1 MPa and 382°C with a velocity of 80 m/s. The compressor is cooled at a rate of 1500 kJ/min, and the power input to the compressor is 230 kW. (i) Identify the enthalpy of air (units: kJ/kg) at the compressor inlet, (ii) Identify the enthalpy of air (units: kJ/kg) at the compressor exit, and (iii) Determine the mass flow rate of air (units: kg/s) through the compressor.arrow_forwardA 0.06-m3 rigid tank initially contains refrigerant- 134a at 0.8 MPa and 100 percent quality. The tank is connected by a valve to a supply line that carries refrigerant- 134a at 1.2 MPa and 36°C. Now the valve is opened, and the refrigerant is allowed to enter the tank. The valve is closed when it is observed that the tank contains saturated liquid at 1.2 MPa. Determine (a) the mass of the refrigerant that has entered the tank and (b) the amount of heat transfer.arrow_forward
- Refrigerant-134a enters an adiabatic compressor as saturated vapor at 100 kPa at a rate of 0.7 m3/min and exits at 1-MPa pressure. If the isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 87 percent, determine (a) the temperature of the refrigerant at the exit of the compressor and (b) the power input, in kW. Also, show the process on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines.arrow_forwardConsider a classroom that is losing heat to the outdoors at a rate of 12,000 kJ/h. If there are 40 students in class, each dissipating sensible heat at a rate of 84 W, determine if it is necessary to turn the heater in the classroom on to prevent the room temperature from dropping.arrow_forwardA long roll of 2-m-wide and 0.5-cm-thick 1-Mn manganese steel plate (ρ = 7854 kg/m3 and cp = 0.434 kJ/kg·°C) coming off a furnace at 820°C is to be quenched in an oil bath at 45°C to a temperature of 51.1°C. If the metal sheet is moving at a steady velocity of 10 m/min, determine the required rate of heat removal from the oil to keep its temperature constant at 45°C. Aarrow_forward
- In a production facility, 1.6-in-thick 2-ft × 2-ft square brass plates (ρ = 532.5 lbm/ft3 and cp = 0.091 Btu/lbm·°F) that are initially at a uniform temperature of 75°F are heated by passing them through an oven at 1500°F at a rate of 300 per minute. If the plates remain in the oven until their average temperature rises to 900°F, determine the rate of heat transfer to the plates in the furnace.arrow_forwardLiquid water at 200 kPa and 20 degress celcius is heated in a chamber by mixing it with superheated steam at 200 kPa and 250 degrees celcius. Liquid water enters the mixing chamber at a rate of 4.2 kg/s, and the chamber is estimated to lose heat to the surrounding air at 23 degress celcius at a rate of 1200 kJ/min. If the mixture leaves the mixing chamber at 200 kPa and 85 degrees celcius determine (a) the mass flow rate of the superheated steam, and (b) the rate of entropy generation during the mixing process.arrow_forwardAir enters the compressor of a gas-turbine plant at ambient conditions of 100 kPa and 25°C with a low velocity and exits at 1 MPa and 347°C with a velocity of 90 m/s. The compressor is cooled at a rate of 1500 kJ/min, and the power input to the compressor is 250 kW. Determine the mass flow rate of air through the compressor.arrow_forward
- Steam flows steadily through a turbine at a rate of 45,000 lbm/h, entering at 1000 psia and 900°F and leaving at 5 psia as saturated vapor. If the power generated by the turbine is 4 MW, determine the rate of heat loss from the steam.arrow_forwardA piston–cylinder device initially contains 1.4 kg of refrigerant-134a at 100 kPa and 20°C. Heat is now transferred to the refrigerant from a source at 150°C, and the piston, which is resting on a set of stops, starts moving when the pressure inside reaches 120 kPa. Heat transfer continues until the temperature reaches 80°C. Assuming the surroundings to be at 25°C and 100 kPa, determine the heat transfer.arrow_forwardNitrogen gas is compressed from 80 kPa and 27°C to 480 kPa by a 10-kW compressor. Determine the mass flow rate of nitrogen through the compressor, assuming the compression process to be isothermal.arrow_forward
