Argon is compressed in a polytropic process with n=1.2 from 120 kpa and 10 °c to 800 kpa in a piston cylinder device. determine: (a) the work produced and, (b) heat transferred during this compression process, in kj/kg.

An air conditioning system consist of a 5 cm diameter pipe, operating at a pressure of 200 kpa. the air initially enters the pipe at 15°c with a velocity of 20 m/s and relative humidity of 80%. if the heat supply throughout the process is 960 w, determine the relative humidity and the temperature at the outlet

The thermal expansion or contraction of a given metal is a function of the f a)-density b)-initial temperature c)- temperature difference d)- linear coefficient of thermal expansion e)- final temperature f)- original length

Compute the pressure drop of 30°c air flowing with a mean velocity of 8 m/s in a circular sheet-metal duct 300 mm in diameter and 15 m long. use a friction factor, f 0.02, and pair = 1.1644 kg/m a. 37.26 pa b. 25.27 pa n c. 29.34 pa d. 30.52 pa
