Tutorial 5 Thermo PDF

The document contains 8 practice problems related to thermodynamics concepts like the first law of thermodynamics. The problems involve calculating things like mass flow rates, exit areas, temperatures, heat transfer rates, and power outputs for systems involving the flow of air, steam, and water through nozzles, ducts, diffusers, turbines, and mixing chambers. The thermodynamic processes involved include adiabatic, steady flow, and mixing.

Tutorial 5: First Law of Thermodynamics

1. Air enters a nozzle steadily at 2.21 kg/m3 and 40 m/s and leaves at 0.762 kg/m3 and 180 m/s. If
the inlet area of the nozzle is 90 cm2, determine:
(a) the mass flow rate through the nozzle, and (0.796 kg/s)
(b) the exit area of the nozzle. (58 cm2)

2. Air whose density is 1.25 kg/m3 enters the duct of an air-conditioning system at a volume flow
rate of 13 m3/min. If the diameter of the duct is 25 cm, determine the velocity of the air at duct
inlet and the mass flow rate of air.
(4.41 m/s, 0.271 kg/s)

3. Air at 80 kPa and 127C enters an adiabatic diffuser steadily at a rate of 6000 kg/h and leaves at
100 kPa. The velocity of the airstream is decreased from 230 to 30 m/s as it passes through the
diffuser. Find:
a. the exit temperature of the air. [406.2 K]
b. the exit area of the diffuser. [0.065m2]

4. Air flows steadily through an adiabatic turbine, entering at 1.0 MPa, 500C, and 100 m/s and
leaving at 150 kPa, 150C, and 215 m/s. The inlet area of the turbine is 90 cm2. Determine:
a. the mass flow rate of the air. [4.054 kg/s]
b. the power output of the turbine in kW. [5.858 kW]

5. A hot-water stream at 80C enters a mixing chamber with a mass flow rate of 0.5 kg/s where it is
mixed with a stream of cold water at 20C. If it is desired that the mixture leave the chamber at
42C, determine the mass flow rate of the cold-water stream. Assume all the streams are at a
pressure of 250 kPa. [m2 = 0.865 kg/s]
6. Steam enters a long, horizontal pipe with an inlet diameter of D1 = 12 cm at 1 MPa and 300C
with a velocity of 2 m/s. Farther downstream, the conditions are 800 kPa amd 250C, and the
diameter is D2 = 10 cm. Determine (a) the mass flow rate of the steam and (b) the rate of heat
transfer. [0.088 kg/s ; 8.905 kW]

7. Steam enters an adiabatic turbine at 10 MPa and 500C and leaves at 10 kPa with a quality of 90
percent. Neglecting the changes in kinetic and potential energies, determine the mass flow rate
required for a power output of 5 MW. [4.852 kg/s]

8. Steam enters a turbine operating at steady-state with a mass flow rate of 4600 kg/h. The turbine
develops a power output of 1000 kW. In the feed, the pressure is 60 bar, the temperature is 400oC
and the velocity is 10 m/s. For the effluent, the pressure is 0.1 bar, the quality is 90% and the
velocity is 50 m/s. Calculate the rate of heat transfer between the turbine and the surroundings in
kW. [-63.51kW]
