Q: A 15-ft3 steel container that has a mass of 75
A 15-ft3 steel container that has a mass of 75 lbm when empty is filled with liquid water. Initially, both the steel tank and the water are at 120°F. Now heat is transferred, and the entire system coo...
See AnswerQ: When measuring small pressure differences with a manometer, often one arm
When measuring small pressure differences with a manometer, often one arm of the manometer is inclined to improve the accuracy of reading. (The pressure difference is still proportional to the vertica...
See AnswerQ: In order to cool 1 ton of water at 20°C
In order to cool 1 ton of water at 20°C in an insulated tank, a person pours 140 kg of ice at –5°C into the water. Determine (a) the final equilibrium temperature in the tank and (b) the entropy gener...
See AnswerQ: One ton of liquid water at 80°C is brought into
One ton of liquid water at 80°C is brought into a well-insulated and well-sealed 4-m × 5-m × 7 m room initially at 22°C and 100 kPa. Assuming constant s...
See AnswerQ: A well-insulated 4-m × 4-m ×
A well-insulated 4-m × 4-m × 5-m room initially at 10°C is heated by the radiator of a steam heating system. The radiator has a volume of 15 L and is filled with superheated vapor at 200 kPa and 200°C...
See AnswerQ: A passive solar house that is losing heat to the outdoors at
A passive solar house that is losing heat to the outdoors at 3°C at an average rate of 50,000 kJ/h is maintained at 22°C at all times during a winter night for 10 h. The house is heated by 50 glass co...
See AnswerQ: An insulated piston–cylinder device initially contains 0.02 m3
An insulated piston–cylinder device initially contains 0.02 m3 of saturated liquid–vapor mixture of water with a quality of 0.1 at 100°C. Now some ice at...
See AnswerQ: In Prob. 8–18, assume that the heat is
In Prob. 8–18, assume that the heat is transferred from the cold reservoir to the hot reservoir contrary to the Clausius statement of the second law. Prove that this violates the inc...
See AnswerQ: Does the cyclic integral of heat have to be zero (i
Does the cyclic integral of heat have to be zero (i.e., does a system have to reject as much heat as it receives to complete a cycle)? Explain.
See AnswerQ: During the isothermal heat addition process of a Carnot cycle, 900
During the isothermal heat addition process of a Carnot cycle, 900 kJ of heat is added to the working fluid from a source at 400°C. Determine (a) the entropy change of the working fluid, (b) the entro...
