There has been renewed interest in pneumatic tube transportation systems (e. g., the Hyperloop®). These systems evacuate most of the air from sealed cylinders, and typically the passenger capsules float on air; both of these factors minimize drag. The passenger capsule starts from rest and climbs 1250 feet over a mountain pass. Knowing that the weight of a passenger capsule is 51400 lb, determine the amount of energy the linear induction motors will need to supply if the capsule is traveling 300 mi/h at the top of the pass.

As part of an industrial process, air as an ideal gas at 10 bar, 400k expands at steady state through a valve to a pressure of 4 bar. the mass flow rate of air is 0.5 kg/s. the air then passes through a heat exchanger where it is cooled to a temperature of 295k with negligible change in pressure. the valve can be modeled as a throttling process, and kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected. (a) for a control volume enclosing the valve and heat exchanger and enough of the local surroundings that the heat transfer occurs at the ambient temperature of 295 k, determine the rate of entropy production, in kw/k. (b) if the expansion valve were replaced by an adiabatic turbine operating isentropically, what would be the entropy production? compare the results of parts (a) and (b) and discuss.
