Air expands through a turbine operating at steady state. at the inlet, p1 = 150 lbf/in.2, t1 = 1400°r, and at the exit, p2 = 14.8 lbf/in.2, t2 = 900°r. the mass flow rate of air entering the turbine is 11 lb/s, and 65,000 btu/h of energy is rejected by heat transfer. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the power developed, in hp.

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?

How much power could a wind turbine produce if it had the following specifications? cp = 0.45 -d=1.2kg/m3 d=50m v 5m/s
