In a delivery line for carbontetrachloride at the constant flow rate of 4 X 10^(-5) m3/s, the first 1000 mm long section is of 20 mm inside diameter smooth pipe followed by another 1000 mm long section of 50 mm inside diameter smooth pipe as shown in the following figure. Estimate the pressure drop over the entire length of delivery line. Neglect the minor losses due to sudden enlargement of pipe diameter.

Air is compressed adiabatically in a piston–cylinder assembly from 1 bar, 300 K to 4 bar, 600 K. The air can be modeled as an ideal gas and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Determine the amount of entropy produced, in kJ/K per kg of air, for the compression. What is the minimum theoretical work input, in kJ per kg of air, for an adiabatic compression from the given initial state to a final pressure of 4 bar? Note that work is positive into the compressor.

A conduit carrying water vapor has one inlet and two exits. At the inlet, the velocity 25 m/s, the pressure is 4 bar and the temperature is 350 Celsius. The area at the inlet is 0.2 m^2 . At both the exits, the temperature and pressure are 300 Celsius and 3 bar respectively. The volumetric flow rate is identical at the two exits. Assuming steady-state conditions, calculate the volumetric flow rate at the exits.

Consider the design of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) for a community with average
daily and peak hourly wastewater design flows of 7570 m3/day and 18925 m3/day. The raw
sewage has an average of 240 mg/L BOD5 and 270 mg/L of suspended solids.

35% of the BOD5 of the raw sewage. Determine the SS and BOD5 concentrations in the
primary sedimentation effluent flow. (1 mark)

· Endogenous decay rate (b) = 0.04 /day
· Solids retention time: 8 days
· MLVSS concentration in the aeration tank: 3000 mg/L
· Waste and recycle solids concentration: 12,000 mg/L

A metal bar, initially at 2000K, is placed in a large tank of water at room temperature. Tank is well isolated from the environment. Between the moment bar was placed in the water and the moment when bar and water reached equilibrium, did the entropy of the metal bar increased, decreased, or remained the same? Explain.
