    First Law of Thermodynamics – Open System

    1- The diffuser in a jet engine is designed to decrease the kinetic energy of the
    air entering the engine compressor without any work or heat interactions.
    Calculate the velocity at the exit of a diffuser when air at 100 kPa and 30 0C
    enters it with a velocity of 350 m/s and the exit state is 200 kPa and 90 0C.

    2- Air at 600 kPa and 500 K enters an adiabatic nozzle that has an inlet-to-exit
    area ratio of 2:1 with a velocity of 120 m/s and leaves with a velocity of 380
    m/s. Determine (a) the exit temperature and (b) the exit pressure of the air.

    3- Steam enters a nozzle at 400 0C and 800 kPa with a velocity of 10 m/s, and
    leaves at 300 0C and 200 kPa while losing heat at a rate of 25 kW. For an
    inlet area of 800 cm2, determine the velocity and the volume flow rate of the
    steam at the nozzle exit.

    4- Steam flows steadily through an adiabatic turbine. The inlet


    conditions of the steam are 4 MPa, 500 0C, and 80 m/s, and
    the exit conditions are 30 kPa, 92 percent quality, and 50 m/s.
    The mass flow rate of the steam is 12 kg/s. Determine (a) the
    change in kinetic energy, (b) the power output, and (c) the
    turbine inlet area.

    5- Steam flows steadily into a turbine with a mass flow rate of 26 kg/s and a
    negligible velocity at 6 MPa and 600 0C. The steam leaves the turbine at 0.5
    MPa and 200 0C with a velocity of 180 m/s. The rate of work done by the
    steam in the turbine is measured to be 20 MW. If the elevation change
    between the turbine inlet and exit is negligible, determine the rate of heat
    transfer associated with this process.

    6- Helium is to be compressed from 105 kPa and 295 K to 700 kPa


    and 460 K. A heat loss of 15 kJ/kg occurs during the compression
    process. Neglecting kinetic energy changes, determine the power
    input required for a mass flow rate of 60 kg/min.

    7- Carbon dioxide enters an adiabatic compressor at 100 kPa and 300 K at a rate
    of 0.5 kg/s and leaves at 600 kPa and 450 K. Neglecting kinetic energy
    changes, determine (a) the volume flow rate of the carbon dioxide at the
    compressor inlet and (b) the power input to the compressor.

    8- A heat exchanger is to heat water (cp = 4.18 kJ/kg·0C) from 25 to 60 0C at a


    rate of 0.2 kg/s. The heating is to be accomplished by geothermal water (cp
    = 4.31 kJ/kg·0C) available at 140 0C at a mass flow rate of 0.3 kg/s. Determine
    the rate of heat transfer in the heat exchanger and the exit temperature of
    geothermal water.

    9- Steam is to be condensed in the condenser of a steam power plant at a


    temperature of 50 0C with cooling water from a nearby lake, which enters
    the tubes of the condenser at 18 0C at a rate of 101 kg/s and leaves at 27 0C.
    Determine the rate of condensation of the steam in the condenser.

    10- Water enters a boiler at 200 kPa at 50 0C and superheated to 350 0C.
    The heating energy supplied by a hot combustion gases entering the boiler at
    600 0C and leaving the boiler at 150 0C. Calculate the flow rate of the steam
    in kg/s if the air discharges by 50 m3/s.
