tank containing air at 25C and 500
kPa is connected through a valve to another
tank containing 5 kg of air at 35C and 200
kPa. Now the valve is opened, and the entire
system is allowed to reach thermal
equilibrium with the surroundings, which are
at 20C. Determine the volume of the second
tank and the final equilibrium pressure of air.

A 400-L rigid tank contains 5 kg of air at
25C. Determine the reading on the pressure
gage if the atmospheric pressure is 97 kPa.
Air at 10C and 80 kPa enters the diffuser of
a jet engine steadily with a velocity of 200
m/s. The inlet area of the diffuser is 0.4 m

.
The air leaves the diffuser with a velocity
that is very small compared with the inlet
velocity. Determine
(a) the mass flow rate of the air
(b) the temperature of the air leaving the
diffuser.
Air enters an adiabatic nozzle steadily at 300
kPa, 200C, and 30 m/s and leaves at 100
kPa and 180 m/s. The inlet area of the
nozzle is 80 cm2. Determine
(a) the mass flow rate through the nozzle,
(b) the exit temperature of the air,
(c) the exit area of the nozzle.
Steam at 5 MPa and 400C enters a nozzle
steadily with a velocity of 80 m/s, and it
leaves at 2 MPa and 300C. The inlet area of
the nozzle is 50 cm2, and heat is being lost
at a rate of 120 kJ/s. Determine
(a) the mass flow rate of the steam,
(b) the exit velocity of the steam,
(c) the exit area of the nozzle.
Steam flows steadily through an adiabatic
turbine. The inlet conditions of the steam
are 10 MPa, 450C, and 80 m/s, and the exit
conditions are 10 kPa, 92 percent quality,
and 50 m/s. The mass flow rate of the steam
is 12 kg/s. Determine
(a) the change in kinetic energy, (b) the
power output, and
(c) the turbine inlet area.
Refrigerant-134a enters an adiabatic
compressor as saturated vapor at 24C and
leaves at 0.8 MPa and 60C. The mass flow
rate of the refrigerant is 1.2 kg/s. Determine
(a) the power input to the compressor
(b) the volume flow rate of the refrigerant
at the compressor inlet.
