A frictionless air compressor operates between 200 kPa and 6 MPa. The inlet is at 25°C. Compared to operating adiabatically, what is the energy-input (e.g. power) savings by cooling it with a polytropic exponent of 1.16? Answer in kJ/kg (i.e. kJ of energy saved for every kg of air compressed).

Correct answer is 9.23 kJ/kg; please show steps and thank you!

Rub wool on the Styrofoam cup and hold it over tiny bits of paper on the lab table. What happens to the paper?

Put down some dark paper and a pile of salt and observe the interaction with the charged cup. What happens to the salt?

Consider the fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetic, as observed with the interactions with salt and pepper. How does this demonstrate the relative strengths (which is stronger?) of these fundamental forces?

Rub the balloon with the wool cloth (or with your own hair). What kind of charge does the balloon acquire? Bring the charged balloon near the bits of paper or salt. Will it “pick up” tiny bits of paper? Yes Observe how distance affects the interactions. What difference does distance make?

Charge it up again and press against a wall made of sheetrock (not brick or stone). Will it stick to the wall? No Go to the sink, turn on the water so that there is a small, steady stream. “Charge up” your plastic tube and hold it close to the top of the stream of water. What happens and why?

Now rub the plastic tube with a square cut from a cooking bag. Write a procedure that you can use to determine if the plastic tube has acquired a net positive or a net negative charge from the cooking bag. (you can use some of the other materials).

Bring the plastic tube charged with the cooking bag near the aluminum can. What happens to the aluminum can when the tube charged from the cooking bag is held near it?

An air-conditioning system operates at a total pressure of 1 atm and consists of a heating section and an evaporative cooler. Air enters the heating section at 15°C and 55 percent relative humidity at a rate of 30 m3/min, and it leaves the evaporative cooler at 25°C and 45 percent relatively humidity. Using appropriate software, study the effect of total pressure in the range 94 to 100 kPa and plot the results as functions of total pressure

Consider a steam power plant that operates on a regenerative Rankine cycle and has a net power output of 150 MW. Steam enters the turbine at 10 MPa and 500°C and the condenser at 10 kPa. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 80 percent, and that of the pumps is 95 percent. Steam is extracted from the turbine at 0.5 MPa to heat the feedwater in an open feedwater heater. Water leaves the feedwater heater as a saturated liquid. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram, and determine (a) the mass flow rate of steam through the boiler, and (b) the thermal efficiency of the cycle. Also, determine the exergy destruction associated with the regeneration process. Assume a source temperature of 1300 K and a sink temperature of 303 K.
