Problem #4 (20 points) A commercial refrigerator with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at -30°C by rejecting its waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at 18°C at a rate of 0.25 kg/s and leaves at 26°C. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 MPa and 65°C and leaves at 42°C. The inlet state of the compressor is 60 kPa and-34°Cand the compressor is estimated to gain a net heat of...

An industrial steam turbine shown in the figure below receives 20 [kg/s] of superheated steam at 10 [MPa) and 500 [°C] (State 1). Steam is extracted for another industrial process at a rate of 5 kg/s) ata location in the turbine where the pressure is 1 [MPa) and the temperature is 200 [°C] (State 21. The remaining steam continues to expand through the turbine and exit at State 3, where the pressure is 10 [kPa) and the quality is 90%....
Problem-2 (200) Air at 30 kPa, 200 K, and 250 m/s enters a turbojet engine in flight. The air mass flow rate is 28 kg/s. The compressor pressure ratio is 13, the turbine inlet temperature is 1460 K, and air exits the nozzle at 30 kPa. The diffuser and nozzle processes are isentropic, the compressor and turbine have isentropic efficiencies of 81% and 88%, respectively, and there is no pressure drop for flow through the combustor. Kinetic energy is negligible...
Homework 2 Problem 1: A piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.35-kg steam at 3.5 MPa, superheated by 7.4 C. Now the stream loses heat to the surroundings and the piston moves down, hitting a set of stops at which point the cylinder contains saturated liquid water. The cooling continues until the cylinder contains water at 200C. Determine (a) the final pressure and the quality (if mixture), (b) the boundary work, (c) the amount of heat transfer when the piston first hits...
Quantitative: In the 1950s liquid hydrogen was considered as a fuel for a new type of aircraft being developed, the SR-71 Blackbird (shown in Figure 1). Figure 1: The SR-71 Blackbird Early research on the project focused on which fuel to use for the Blackbird. Pratt & Whitney had a J-57 engine that was designed for kerosene and being considered for implementation on the Blackbird. The J-57 only took 5 months to convert to running on liquid hydrogen, however tests...
174 2 combustor , =1500 K Problem 2 (22 pts): Brayton cycle and entropy calculations An open Brayton cycle is used to generate electricity. Air enters the isentropic compressor at T1 = 300 K and P1 = 100 kPa with a mass flow rate m = 1.5 kg/s. The combustor can be modeled as a constant-pressure heat exchanger, supplying 1540 kW of thermal power to the air from a thermal reservoir (Th = 1750 K). Air enters the isentropic turbine...
