    This document contains 7 problems related to thermodynamics: 1) An adiabatic diffuser increases air pressure from 90 kPa to 100 kPa, decreasing velocity from 180 m/s to unknown exit velocity. The exit area is 4 times the inlet area. Determine the exit temperature and velocity. 2) Helium is compressed, incurring a 20 kJ/kg heat loss. Given an inlet state of 120 kPa and 310 K and outlet of 700 kPa and 430 K, determine the power input for a 90 kg/min mass flow rate. 3) Steam at 20 kPa and 95% quality enters a condenser at 20,000 kg/h. It must exit

    (1) Air at 90 kPa and 10C enters an adiabatic diffuser steadily with a velocity of 180 m/s and leaves
    with a low velocity at a pressure of 100 kPa. The exit area of the diffuser is 4 times the inlet
    area. Determine (a) the exit temperature and (b) the exit velocity of the air.

    (2) Helium is to be compressed from 120 kPa and 310 K to 700 kPa
    and 430 K A heat loss of 20 kJ/kg occurs during the compression
    process. Neglecting kinetic energy changes, the power input
    required for a mass flow rate of determine 90 kg/min.

    (3) Steam enters the condenser of a steam power plant at 20 kPa


    and a quality of 95% with a mass flow rate of 20,000 kg/h.
    It is to be cooled by water from a nearby river by circulating
    the water through the tubes within the condenser. To prevent
    thermal pollution, the river water is not allowed to experience
    a temperature rise above 10C. If the steam is to leave the
    condenser as saturated liquid at 20 kPa, determine the mass
    flow rate of the cooling water required.

    A computer cooled by a fan contains eight PCBs, each dissipating 10 W power. The cooling
    air is supplied by a 25-W fan mounted at the inlet. If the temperature rise of air as it flows
    through the case of the computer is not to exceed 10C, determine (a) the flow rate of the
    air that the fan needs to deliver and (b) the fraction of the temperature rise of air that is
    due to the heat generated by the fan and its motor.

    (5) A steam power plant with a power output of 150 MW consumes coal at a rate of 60 tons/h. If the
    heating value of the coal is 30,000 kJ/kg, determine the overall efficiency of this plant.

    (6) When a man returns to his well-sealed house on a summer day, he finds that the house is at 35C.
    He turns on the air conditioner, which cools the entire house to 20C in 30 min. If the COP of the
    air-conditioning system is 2.8, determine the power drawn by the air conditioner. Assume the
    entire mass within the house is equivalent to 800 kg of air for which cv = 0.72 kJ/kg-C and cp =
    1.0 kJ/kg-C.

    (7) Refrigerant 134a enters the evaporator coils placed at the back of the freezer section of a household
    refrigerator at 100 kPa with a quality of 20% and leaves at 100 kPa and -26C. If the compressor
    consumes 600W of power and the COP of the refrigerator is 1.2, determine (a) the mass flow rate
    of the refrigerant and (b) the rate of heat rejected to the kitchen air.
