Water in a piston–cylinder assembly undergoes a carnot power cycle. at the beginning of the isothermal expansion, the temperature is 2508c and the quality is 80%. the isothermal expansion continues until the pressure is 2 mpa. the adiabatic expansion then occurs to a final temperature of 1758c. (a) sketch the cycle on t–s coordinates. (b) determine the heat transfer and work, in kj/kg, for each process. (c) evaluate the thermal efficiency.

Asolid cylinder is concentric with a straight pipe. the cylinder is 0.5 m long and has an outside diameter of 8 cm. the pipe has an inside diameter of 8.5 cm. the annulus between the cylinder ad the pipe contains stationary oil. the oil has a specific gravity of 0.92 and a kinematic viscosity of 5.57 x 10-4 m2/s. most nearly, what is the force needed to move the cylinder along the pipe at a constant velocity of 1 m/s?

To design a steam turbine to produce 12,000 hp power. a engineer comsiders using a steady state stean low st 1160fr and engineer considers using a steady state steam flow at 1160°r and 450 psia to drive this steam turbine. the exhaust of the steam is cooled by the lake (vacuum). heat losing to the surroundings is measured at a rate of 555.55 btu/s. (a) sketch the system with the given conditions. (b) neglecting kinetic and potential energy changes from inlet to exit, determine the volumetric flow rate of the steam at the inlet, (ft'/hr). must clearly show unit conversions at crtical terms.

Air is flows through an adiabatic nozzle with an inlet pressure of 400 psia at a temperature of 300°f and a velocity of 20 ft/s. the outlet pressure is 40 psia and the velocity is 800 ftl/s. determine the outlet temperature of the air using: a) property tables b) specific heat (using the specific heat value for air at 300°f)
