Textbook Question
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.

  • Air in a cylinder-piston system expands and works on the piston. The temperature of the air decreases during the process from the initial temperature of (30×1.6)°C down to the final temperature of 20°C. Specific heat values of air at constant pressure and constant volume are 1,000 J/kg.K and 730 J/kg.K respectively. (a) Determine the change of enthalpy per mass and the change of internal energy per mass, respectively. (b) This process produces 20 kJ/kg of work. Combine this number with your outcome from (a), to estimate the amount of heat transfer per mass required for this process to happen.c) Based on the outcome from part (b), determine whether the heat went ‘into’ the system or ‘out of’ the system.
    Question #1 a) The absolute pressure inside a tank is 0.13bar, and the surrounding atmospheric pressure is 98 kPa. A Bourdon gage is mounted in the tank wall to measure the pressure, in kPa? Is this a vacuum or gage reading? b) (967)kJ of heat is transferred from the system to the surroundings when a closed system of mass (28)kg undergoes a process. During the process, 200kJ work is done on the system. If the initial specific internal energy of the system is 300 kJ/kg, Describe the process and determine the final specific internal energy, in kJ/kg? Neglect changes in kinetic and potential energy.
