Please consider a poorly insulated compressor that was in need of maintenance. The compressor consumed 1.00 kW and took in R-22 at -15°C and 1 bar. The R-22 exited at 10 bar. Irreversibilities within the compressor generated entropy at the rate of 0.100 kJ/kg- K. The compressor leaked heat at the rate of 8.19 kJ/kg at an effective temperature of 300°K.
a. Please take the Compressor as the system and make a sketch. Also, please use this space to keep a list of the assumptions you make while addressing Parts b-g of this problem.
b. What type of system is the compressor? Please use a sentence or two to explain.
c. Please write and reduce the Mass Rate Balance
(E4.4.2) for the system.
d. Please write and reduce the Energy Rate Balance (Eq. 4.15) for the system.
e. Please write and reduce the Entropy Rate Balance (Eq. 6.34) for the system.
f. Please determine Te in C.
g. Please determine m in kg/sec.

James has ten heavily crosslinked epoxy ‘cubic blocks’ with dimensions of 1.0 cm by 1.0 cm by 1.0 cm and a density of 1.05 g/cm3 . Tom has twenty blocks made of the same material by double in length scale of those owned by James. Piter has only one block made of the same material, but his block is five times the length scale of those owned by James. (a) What is the number-average mass of all of the blocks? (b) What is the surface-area-average mass of all of the blocks? (c) What is the volume-average mass of all of the blocks?

Air enters a counter-flow drier at 70˚C dry bulb temperature and 20˚C dew point temperature. Air leaves the drier at 40˚C and 60% relative humidity. The initial moisture content of the product is 82% (wet basis). The amount of air moving through the drier is 2000kg of dry air per hour. The mass flow rate of the product is 10kg dry solid per hour. What is the final moisture content of the dried product in wet basis?

Estimate the value of the apparent contact angles (q*) for a
composite interface formed by Water on an electrospun surface of
PMMA + 44.1 wt% POSS.
The average fiber radius (R) = 500 nm and the average inter-fiber
spacing (D) = 4.5 µm. The Young’s contact angle (q) for water on a
spin-coated PMMA + 44.1 wt% POSS surface = 123°.
Also, compute the values of the two design parameters D* and A*.
Note the capillary length (L cap) for water = 2.8 mm. Based on the
value of A*, estimate the breakthrough pressure for water on this
electrospun surface. Also, estimate the height of a column of water
that would provide this breakthrough pressure.
