Consider a compressor in which air enters at 1 bar, 27°C and exits at 3.5 bar, 127°C. The work required is 127 kJ/kg of air flowing through the compressor. Heat transfer between the compressor and environment occurs at 27°C. Determine (a) the heat transfer, in kJ/kg (b) the entropy generation rate, in kJ/kg.K, for the compressor as a control volume (c) the entropy generation rate, in kJ/kg.K, for the compressor and the surrounding environment (d) the entropy generation rate, in...

0.5 kg of air at 30 bar and 350 °C is allowed to expand reversibly in a cylinder behind a piston in such a way that the temperature remains constant to a pressure of 0.75 bar. Based on the law pv1.05= constant, the air is then compressed until the pressure is 10 bar. Assuming air to be a perfect gas, determine the: a) net entropy change, b) net heat flow, c)net work energy transfer and sketch the processes on a...

At steady state, 100 m^3/min of dry air at 32 C, 1 bar is mixed adiabatically with a stream of oxygen at 127 C, 1 bar to form a mixed stream at 47 C, 1 bar. Kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. Find: (a) the mass flow rates of the dry air and the oxygen (b) the mole fractions of the dry air and oxygen in the exiting mixture (c) the time rate of entropy production

Say the density of air is 1.23 kg/m3 and the density of helium is 0.164 kg/m3 when both are at STP. Let's model a balloon as a sphere of radius 0.12 m, with mass 2 g. 1) What is the mass of the helium that would fill a single balloon? 2) What is the buoyant force on a single balloon? 3) What is the net force on a single balloon? 4) If we attach 0.5 m of string (properties: 800...

A spring loaded piston cylinder contains 1.5 kg of air at 27°C and 160 kPa. It is now heated in a process where pressure is linear in volume, P = A + BV, to twice the initial volume where it reaches 900 K. Find the work, the heat transfer and the total entropy generation assuming a source at 900 K. Is this a possible process?
