    1. Air expands adiabatically through a nozzle from a negligible initial velocity to a final
    velocity of 325 m s-1 . What is the temperature drop of the air, if air is assumed to be an
    ideal gas for which Cp = (7/2)R?

    2. Differentiate between turbines and expanders


    3. Liquid isobutane is throttled through a valve from an initial state of 360 K and 4000 kPa to
    a final pressure of 2000 kPa. Estimate the temperature change and the entropy change of
    the isobutane. The specific heat of liquid isobutane at 360 K is 2.78 J g-1°C-1. Estimates of
    V and β may be found from the Equation below.

    (1−𝑇 )0.2857
    𝑉 𝑠𝑎𝑡 = 𝑉𝑐 𝑍𝑐 𝑟
    4. Water at 45°C and 10 kPa enters an adiabatic pump and is discharged at a pressure of 8600
    kPa. Assume the pump efficiency to be 0.75. Calculate the work of the pump, the
    temperature change of water, and the entropy change of the water.

    5. A steam turbine with rated capacity of 56.4 MW operates with steam at inlet conditions of
    8 600 kPa and 773.15 K and discharge into a condensor at a pressure of 10 kPa. Assuming
    turbine efficiency of 0.75, determine the state of the steam at discharge and the mass rate
    flow of the steam.

    6. a. What is throttling? Define the Joule-Thomson Coefficient.

    b. Given that µ = 1.11 K atm-1 for carbon dioxide, calculate the value of its isothermal
    Joule-Thomson coefficient. Calculate the energy that must be supplied as heat to maintain
    constant temperature when 12 mol of CO2 flows through a throttle in an isothermal Joule-
    Thomson experiment and the pressure drop is 55 atm.
