001: Ability to formulate and experimentally discover the energy balance accordingly to the first law of thermodynamics for a system. Numbers of engineering devices are designed to operate mainly under the same conditions for long periods, and it is known as steady flow devices. Given here are the examples of the flow devices. a. Nozzle and diffuser b. Turbine and compressor C. Throttling valve d. Mixing chamber e. Heat exchanger f. Pipe and duct flow 1. Briefly explain the function...
5-30 Air enters an adiabatic nozzle steadily at 300 kPa, 200°C, 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, and (c) the exit area of the nozzle. Answers: (a) 0.5304 kg/s, (b) 184.6°C, (c) 38.7 cm P = 300 kPa T, = 200°C Vi = 30 m/s A = 80 cm AIR...
The Boeing 747 has a cruising altitude of 45,000 feet and cruising speed of 275 m/s. At this elevation, the temperature and pressure according to the US Standard Atmosphere (air properties as a function of altitude) are 220K and 1.8x104 Pa, respectively. The engines are steady state devices that can be modeled using the 1st Law of Thermodynamics with air (ideal gas) as the working fluid undergoing several processes. a. The inlet area of the engines is 0.5 m2. What...
