Water at 300kPa and 20oC is heated in a chamber by mixing it with superheated steam at 300kPa and 300oC. The cold water enters the chamber at a rate of 1.9 kg/s. Calculate the mass flow rate of the superheated steam, if the mixture leaves the chamber at 60oC.
answer is ______kg/s
If necessary, define system and energy flows shown on sketch. Complete solution shown analytically before numbers.

A vapor-compression heat pump with a heating capacity of 500 kJ/min is driven by a power cycle with a thermal efficiency of 30%. For the heat pump, Refrigerant 134a is compressed from saturated vapor at -10°C to the condenser pressure of 10 bar. The isentropic compressor efficiency is 80%. Liquid enters the expansion valve at 9.6 bar, 34°C. For the power cycle, 80% of the heat rejected is transferred to the heated space. (a) Determine the power input to the heat pump compressor, in kW (b) Evaluate the ratio of the total rate that heat is delivered to the heated space to the rate of heat input to the power cycle. Round answers to 3 significant digits.

In: Mechanical Engineering
Consider a simple Brayton cycle using air as the working fluid with properties assumed constant and evaluated at room temperature (300 K). Conditions at the compressor inlet are T1 = 25°C and P1 = 200 kPa. The pressure ratio is 11 and maximum cycle temperature is 750°C. Answer the following (a) Compute the back?work ratio and cycle efficiency assuming both the turbine and compressor are isentropic (b) Compute the same quantities assuming only the turbine is isentropic while the compressor has an isentropic efficiency of 75% (c) Compute the same quantities assuming only the compressor is isentropic while the turbine has an isentropic efficiency of 75%
Please show all work, assume ideal gas and cold air assumptions and please write legible. Thanks
