Consider a diffuser in which air flows steadily. At the inlet of the diffuser the pressure, the temperature and the velocity of the air are 100 kPa, 110oC and 175 m/s, respectively. At the exit of the diffuser the pressure, the velocity of the gas and the area of the diffuser are 110 kPa, 15 m/s and 0.1 m2 , respectively. Accounting for an heat loss of 3 kJ/kg from the diffuser to the surroundings at 100 kPa and 25oC and assuming constant specific heats, determine (a) the exit temperature, (b) the rate of exergy change and (c) the second-law efficiency of the diffuser where ηII, diffuser = exergy output exergy input .

Consider a constant pressure device. The inlet flow to this
device is moist air at 100 kPa, 40oC, 40% relative humidity. The
outlet flow from this device is cooled to 15oC. Determine:
(a) the humidity ratio of the inlet and the exit flow,

Air flows through a nozzle which has inlet areas of
(10 cm2
). If the air has a velocity of (120 m/s) a
temperature (300K) and a pressure of (700kpa) at the inlet section
and a pressure of (250kpa) at the exit,
find the mass flow rate through the nozzle and the velocity at the
exit of the nozzle, assuming one-
dimensional isentropic flow. (R=287 J/kg. K), (K=1.4). (25%)

Steam expands in a thermally isolated turbine steadily.
The inlet pressure is 1MPa and temperature is 800 C, and the
exit state is 300 kPA and 150 C.
a- Determine the power generated by the turbine per unit mass
flow rate of steam.
b- Evaluate the entropy generation rate per unit mass flow rate
of steam and drive a conclusion whether the turbine operates
reversibly, irreversibly or the operation is impossible.

Steam flows steadily through an adiabatic turbine. The inlet
conditions of the steam are 4
MPa, 500°C and 80 m/s, and the exit conditions are 30 kPa, 92%
quality and 50 m/s. The
mass flowrate of the steam is 12 kg/s. Investigate the effect of
the turbine exit pressure on
the power output of the turbine. Let the exit pressure vary from 10

Air flows down a pipe with a diameter of 0.15 m. At the inlet to
the pipe, the Mach number is 0.1, the pressure is 70 kPa, and the
temperature is 35°C. If the flow can be assumed to be adiabatic and
if the mean friction factor is 0.005, determine the length of the
pipe if the Mach number at the exit is 0.6. Also, find the pressure
and temperature at the exit to the pipe.

3) Air flows steadily at the rate of 0.4 kg/s
through an air compressor, entering at 6 m/s with a pressure of 1
bar and a specific volume of 0.85 m3/kg, and leaving at 4.5 m/s
with
a pressure of 6.9 bar and a
specific volume of 0.16 m3/kg. The internal energy of air leaving
is 88 kJ/kg greater than that of the air entering. Cooling water in
a jacket surrounding the cylinder absorbs heat from the air at...
