Problem Solving

1. During a steady flow process, the pressure of the working substance drops from 200 to 20 psia,
the speed increases from 200 to 1000 fps, the internal energy of the open system decreases 25
Btu/lb, and the specific volume increases from 1 to 8 ft³/lb, No heat is transferred. (a) Sketch an
energy diagram. (b) Determine the work per lb. (c) Determine the work in hp for 10 lb per min.
Hint: 1hp = 42.4 Btu/min
2. Steam is supplied to a fully loaded 100-hp turbine at 200 psia with u1 = 1163.3 Btu/lb, v1 = 2.65
ft³/lb and ν1 = 1100 fps. The heat loss from the steam in the turbine is 10 Btu/lb. Neglect
potential energy change and determine (a) the work per lb steam (b) the steam flow rate in lb/h.
3. An air compressor (an open system) receives 272 kg per min of air at 99.29 kPa and a specific
volume of 0.026 m³/kg. The air flows steady through the compressor and is discharged at 689.5
kPa and 0.0051 m³/kg. The initial internal energy of the air is 1594 J/kg; at discharge, the
internal energy is 6241 J/kg. The cooling water circulated around the cylinder carries away 4383
J/kg of air. The change in kinetic energy is 896 J/kg increase. (a) Sketch the energy diagram. (b)
Compute the work.
4. A 200g apple is thrown from the edge of a tall building with an initial speed of 20m/s. What is
the change in kinetic energy of the apple if it strikes the ground at 50m/s. What is the potential
energy if the apple is thrown from a height of 28m? What potential energy of the apple when it
hits the ground?
