Question: 2.1

A Car Powered by Nuclear Fuel An average car consumes about 5 L of gasoline a day, and the capacity of the fuel tank of a car is about 50 L. Therefore, a car needs to be refueled once every 10 days. Also, the density of gasoline ranges from 0.68 to 0.78 kg/L, and its lower heating value is about

Verified Answer:

A car powered by nuclear energy comes equipped wit...

Question: 6.6

A Carnot Refrigeration Cycle Operating in the Saturation Dome A Carnot refrigeration cycle is executed in a closed system in the saturated liquid– vapor mixture region using 0.8 kg of refrigerant-134a as the working fluid (Fig. 6–51). The maximum and the minimum temperatures in the cycle are 20 and

Verified Answer:

Question: 11.4

A Two-Stage Cascade Refrigeration Cycle Consider a two-stage cascade refrigeration system operating between the pressure limits of 0.8 and 0.14 MPa. Each stage operates on an ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid. Heat rejection from the lower cycle

Verified Answer:

A cascade refrigeration system operating between t...

Question: 11.5

A Two-Stage Refrigeration Cycle with a Flash Chamber Consider a two-stage compression refrigeration system operating between the pressure limits of 0.8 and 0.14 MPa. The working fluid is refrigerant-134a. The refrigerant leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid and is throttled to a flash chamber

Verified Answer:

A two-stage compression refrigeration system opera...

Question: 1.5

Absolute Pressure of a Vacuum Chamber A vacuum gage connected to a chamber reads 5.8 psi at a location where the atmospheric pressure is 14.5 psi. Determine the absolute pressure in the chamber.

Verified Answer:

The gage pressure of a vacuum chamber is given. Th...

Question: 2.11

Acceleration of Air by a Fan A fan that consumes 20 W of electric power when operating is claimed to discharge air from a ventilated room at a rate of 1.0 kg/s at a discharge velocity of 8 m/s (Fig. 2–50). Determine if this claim is reasonable.

Verified Answer:

A fan is claimed to increase the velocity of air t...

Question: 5.5

Acceleration of Steam in a Nozzle Steam at 250 psia and 700°F steadily enters a nozzle whose inlet area is 0.2 ft^2. The mass flow rate of steam through the nozzle is 10 lbm/s. Steam leaves the nozzle at 200 psia with a velocity of 900 ft/s. Heat losses from the nozzle per unit mass of the steam

Verified Answer:

Steam enters a nozzle steadily at a specified flow...
