A mass of 12kg of refrigerant-134a initially exists as a saturated vapor in a piston-cylinder device at 240 kPa. Show the process on a P-v diagram with respect to saturation lines.
Air initially at rest (M1 = 0) with an initial pressure P1 = 1 atm and temperature T1= 300k flows through a nozzle into a partial vacuum with P2 = 0.2 atm. There is no elevation change. What is the
In Boulder Dam, 2000 cubic feet per second of water flows through each of the pipes (called penstocks) that lead down to the turbines. The penstocks are 30 feet in diameter, have a roughness of 1 in
What is the velocity of water at the nozzle outlet? Assume viscous effects are negligible and the elevation change between the nozzle inlet and outlet is negligible.
Calculate the speed of the flow at the nozzle exit and the force required to hold the nozzle stationary. Neglect weight.
The resonant speed is determined experimentally to be 1200 rpm and the corresponding amplitute of the main mass of the machine is 12.7 mm. Determine the amplitude for a speed of 2400 rpm.
If the pipe is placed in a 50 mi/hr crosswind (wind direction perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder), calculate the Reynolds number for the flow of air over the outside of the cylinder (using p
An inventor claims to have devised a power cycle exploiting this situation that has a thermal efficiency of 14%. Evaluate this claim.
The water pressure in the mains of a city at a particular location is 350kPa gage. Determine if this main can serve water to neighborhoods that are 50m above this location.
A large flywheel weighs 3000 kg and has a radius of gyration of 1 m. It is observed that 10 min is required for the flywheel to coast to rest from an angular velocity of 300 rad/s.
