Hot combustion gases enter the nozzle of a turbojet engine at 230 kPa, 627°C, and 60 m/s and exit at 70 kPa and 450°C. Assuming the nozzle to be adiabatic and the surroundings to be at 20°C, determine the decrease in the exergy of the gases. Take k = 1.3 and cp = 1.15 kJ/kg·°C for the combustion gases.
Steam enters an adiabatic nozzle at 3.5 MPa and 300°C with a low velocity and leaves at 1.6 MPa and 250°C at a rate of 0.4 kg/s. If the ambient state is 100 kPa and 18°C, determine the rate of exergy destruction.
Long cylindrical steel rods (ρ = 7833 kg/m3 and cp = 0.465 kJ/kg·°C) of 10-cm diameter are heat-treated by drawing them at a velocity of 3 m/min through a 6-m-long oven maintained at 900°C. If the rods enter the oven at 30°C and leave at 700°C, determine the rate of exergy destruction associated with this heat transfer process. Take T0 = 25°C.
