Chapter 8.8, Problem 38P
A piston–cylinder device initially contains 2 L of air at 100 kPa and 25°C. Air is now compressed to a final state of 600 kPa and 150°C. The useful work input is 1.2 kJ. Assuming the surroundings are at 100 kPa and 25°C, determine (a) the exergy of the air at the initial and the final states, (b) the minimum work that must be supplied to accomplish this compression process, and (c) the second-law efficiency of this process.

Refrigerant-134a at 140 kPa and 210C is compressed by an adiabatic 1.3-kW compressor to an exit state of 700 kPa and 60C. Neglecting the changes in kinetic and potential energies, determine (a) the isentropic efficiency of the compressor, (b) the volume flow rate of the refrigerant at the compressor inlet, in L/min, and (c) the maximum volume flow rate at the inlet conditions that this adiabatic 1.3-kW compressor can handle without violating the second law.
Steam enters a turbine steadily at 3 MPa and 450°C at a rate of 8 kg/s and exits at 0.2 MPa and 150°C. The steam is losing heat to the surrounding air at 100 kPa and 25°C at a rate of 300 kW, and the kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible. Determine the exergy of the steam at the inlet conditions.
Air enters a nozzle steadily at 200 kPa and 65°C with a velocity of 35 m/s and exits at 95 kPa and 240 m/s. The heat loss from the nozzle to the surrounding medium at 17°C is estimated to be 3 kJ/kg. Determine the exergy destroyed during this process.
