of 110 kPa. If the isentropic efficiency of the nozzle is 92 percent, determine (b) the maximum
possible exit velocity, (b) the exit temperature, and (c) the actual exit velocity of the air. Assume
constant specific heats for air.
10 ) Air in a large building is kept warm by heating it with steam in a heat exchanger. Saturated
water vapor enters this unit at 35 oC at a rate of 10,000 kg/h and leaves as saturated liquid at 32 oC.
Air at 1-atm pressure enters the unit at 20 oC and leaves at 30 oC at about the same pressure.
Determine the rate of entropy generation associated with this process.
and thus the pressure term is not included in the entropy change expression
for air.
8) Air is compressed by an adiabatic compressor from 100 kPa and 12 oC to a pressure of 800 kPa at
a steady rate of 0.2 kg/s. If the isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 80 percent, determine (a)
the exit temperature of air and (b) the required power input to the compressor.

Refrigerant-134a is to be compressed from 0.14 MPa and -10oC to 0.8 MPa and 50oC
steadily by a compressor. Taking the environment conditions to be 20oC and 95 kPa, determine
the minimum work input that needs to be supplied to the compressor per unit mass of the
refrigerant.
