A steam turbine operating at steady state produces 6,000 hp with a heat transfer to the surroundings at a rate of 360,000 Btu/hr. Steam enters at 600 F, at 200 psi and exits as a saturated vapor at 8 psi. Neglecting the KE and PE determine the volumetric flow rate of the steam at the inlet in ft3/s.

What are the temperature and pressure at the nozzle exit : Room temperature atmospheric air is accelerated by a nozzle steadily from a low velocity to a velocity of 220 m/s. If the nozzle diameter decreases by a factor of 2:

Pressure difference between the inlet and the test section : A water filled manometer is attached to the inlet and the test section of a low speed wind tunnel which has the contraction ratio of 3. what would be the pressure difference between the inlet and the test section in terms of inches of water in order ..

Living plant leaf is an open system that exchanges energy : A living plant leaf is an open system that exchanges energy (sunlight and thermal flows) + matter (O2, CO2, water vapor, etc.) with the surroundings (the exterior). Even with irreversible processes (energy dissipation) we find that the net entropy ch..

What is the heat transfer associated : Air in a piston-cylinder device is compressed from an initial state (temperature = 80 °C, pressure = 100 kPa, volume = 0.3 m3) to a final state (temperature = 250 °C, pressure = 600 kPa), during a polytropic process (n = 1.28094065700868). What is th..

Determine the temperature of the air at the exit : Air enters a pipe at 25 Celsius, 100 kPa at a flow rate of 36 m3/hr. A heater on the outside of the pipe draws 8 amps at a voltage of 120 V. All the heat from the heater is transferred to the air (well insulated and wall t is small).

Determine the mass flow rate and the rate of heat transfer : R134a flowing at 12 m/s enters a 25 mm diameter tube at a quality of 15%, at 36 Celsius and exits the tube at 10 bars as a saturated liquid. Determine (a) the mass flow rate of the R134a in kg/s, (b) the velocity of the R134a at the exit in m/s and (..

Determine mass flow rate at inlet and velocity : Steam at 80 bar, 440 Celsius, enters a turbine operating at steady state at a volumetric flow rate of 180 m3/min. The water exits the turbine in two streams, 20% as exits through a 0.25 m diameter pipe at 60 bar, 400 Celsius. The rest exits through a..
