- Define mass and volume flow rates. How are they related to each other?arrow_forwardBrine enters a cooler at the rate of 50 m3/hr at 15°C and leaves at 1°C. Specific heat and specific gravity of brine are 1.07 kJ/kg–K and 1.1 respectively. Calculate the heat transferred in kW.arrow_forwardThe 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, plastic (smooth) pipes 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. In order to reduce the head losses in the piping and thus the power wasted, someone suggests doubling the diameter of the 83-m-long compressed air pipes. Calculating the reduction in wasted power, and determine if this is a worthwhile idea. Considering the cost of replacement, does this proposal make sense to you?arrow_forward
- Methane, with a density of 0.52 kg/m3, enters a burner with a velocity of 30 m/s through a cross-sectional area of 8.2 cm2. Air, with a density of 1.20 kg/m3, enters at a mass flow rate 21 times that of the methane. Exhaust gas, with a flow density of 0.68 kg/m3; leaves through a cross-sectional area of 196 cm2. If the flow is steady, determine the exhaust velocity.arrow_forwardMethane, with a density of 0.52 kg/m3, enters a burner with a velocity of 30 m/s through a cross-sectional area of 8.2 cm2. Air, with a density of 1.20 kg/m3, enters at a mass flow rate 21 times that of the methane. Exhaust gas, with a flow density of 0.68 kg/m3; leaves through a cross-sectional area of 196 cm2. If the flow is steady, determine the exhaust velocity.(Answer must be 21.1 m/s)arrow_forwardThe fluid condition at the inlet and exit of a horizontal convergent nozzle is analysed. The nozzle is operating steadily and heat loss is assumed negligible. If the specific enthalpy of fluid and velocity of fluid at the inlet are 3,489 kJ/kg and 219 km/hr respectively. At the exit the specific enthalpy of fluid is 2,673 J/kg. Calculate the velocity of the fluid at the exit of the nozzle in m/s,arrow_forward
- An end-burning rocket motor has a chamber diameter of 10 cm and a nozzle exit diameter of 8 cm. The density of the propellant is 1750 kg/m3 and the surface regresses at the rate of 1 cm/s. The gases crossing the nozzle exit plane have a pressure of 10 kPa abs and a temperature of 2200°C. The gas constant of the exhaust gases is 415 J/kg.K. Calculate the gas velocity at the nozzle exit plane in m/s.arrow_forwardA gas with a density of 0.232 kg/m3 flows at a velocity of 280 m/s through a cross sectional area of 0.0085 m2. Determine the mass flow rate.arrow_forwardA nuclear power station is situated in Coal Valley, which is a roughly rectangular valley that is 5 km long, 2 km wide, and 200 m deep. You have been asked to evaluate the effects of a worst-case scenario where the reactor housing fails, and radiation is released to the atmosphere. In your evaluation, you determine that 120 kg of Iodine-131 (a radioisotope that causes thyroid gland and liver damage) could be released into the atmosphere. Assuming the release of Iodine-131 was very rapid and all of it was uniformly distributed through the valley’s atmosphere with none escaping the valley, what would the concentration of Iodine-131 be in the valley’s air? Your answer should be expressed in units of ppm(v), and you may assume an atmospheric pressure of 1.0 atm and a temperature of 20oC. 2. Assuming the Iodine-131 concentration you calculated in part (a) is the initial concentration in the valley, you now want to determine the time it will take for the concentration to decrease to…arrow_forward
- A fan of 91.5 cm wheel diameter is to handle 12.5 m3/s of standard air at 850rpm with a static pressure of 0.98 m of H2O and requires 11 kW of brake power. If a 125-cm fan of the same homologous series, operating at same speed, handles at 0.96 kg/m3density, determine: a) the capacity; b) the static pressure; and c) the horsepower.arrow_forwardAir expands isentropically from 2.2 MPa and 95°C to 0.4 MPa. Calculate the ratio of the initial to final speed of sound. The properties of air are R = 0.287 kJ/kg·K and k = 1.4. The specific heat ratio k varies with temperature, but in our case this change is very small and can be disregarded. What is the ratio of the initial to final speed of sound?arrow_forwardAir flows in a steady manner through a converging tube. At the inlet there are 690kPaa and 1.193m3/kg. If 125m3/min of air enters at the rate of 1.57 m/sec and the exit section has a diameter of 35cm, determine (a) the mass flow rate in kg/sec, (b) the diameter of the entrance section in mm and (c) the exit velocity in m/min.arrow_forward
