Chapter 1, Problem 1.23P
A Btu-meter is a device that measures water flow rate and the temperature difference between the water entering and leaving the property of an energy customer. Over time the device measures and reads out the amount of energy used. Water enters the property at 140 F and leaves at 120 F and the total flow rate through the meter for a month is 900,000 gallons. What would be the monthly energy bill if the charge for energy is 25 cents per million Btu?

According to newton’s law of cooling, the rate at which a substance cools in air is directly proportional to the difference between the temperatures of the substance and that of air. if the temperature of the air is 30°f and the substance cools from 100° to 70°f in 15 minutes, how long will it take to cool 80°f to 35°f?
1. The _____________represents a generalization of the principle of conservation of energy to include energy transfer through heat as well as mechanical work.
2. In any thermodynamic process in which the volume is constant, the system does no_____________?
3. When amount of heat Q is added to a system, and no work is done on it or done by it, its internal energy is equal to?
A compressor requires a mechanical work rate equal to 77 kW for increasing the pressure of 40 kg/min of air from 178 kPa to 685 kPa. The inlet temperature of air is 332 K and thermal dissipation towards the environment amounts to 6 kW. Take the air specific heat constant cp=1.1 kJ/(kg K). If kinetic and potential energy differences can be neglected, determine the air temperature at outlet in K to 1 decimal place.
