5-1C Flow through a control volume is steady when it involves no changes with time at any specified position.
5-2C Mass flow rate is the amount of mass flowing through a cross-section per unit time whereas the volume flow rate is the
amount of volume flowing through a cross-section per unit time.
5-3C The amount of mass or energy entering a control volume does not have to be equal to the amount of mass or energy
leaving during an unsteady-flow process.
5-4C No, a flow with the same volume flow rate at the inlet and the exit is not necessarily steady (unless the density is
constant). To be steady, the mass flow rate through the device must remain constant.

Properties The density of air is given to be 1.18 kg/m3 at the beginning, and
5.30 kg/m3 at the end.
Analysis We take the tank as the system, which is a control volume since mass
crosses the boundary. The mass balance for this system can be expressed as
Mass balance:

two outlets and the amount of fly ash collected per year are to be determined.
Assumptions Flow through the separator is steady.
Analysis Since the ash particles cannot be converted into the gas and vice-versa, the mass flow rate of ash into the control
volume must equal that going out, and the mass flow rate of flue gas into the control volume must equal that going out.
Hence, the mass flow rate of ash leaving is

The mass flow rate of flue gas leaving the separator is then

considerations.

possess any flow energy.
5-18C Flowing fluids possess flow energy in addition to the forms of energy a fluid at rest possesses. The total energy of a
fluid at rest consists of internal, kinetic, and potential energies. The total energy of a flowing fluid consists of internal,

5-19 Warm air in a house is forced to leave by the infiltrating cold outside air at a specified rate. The net energy loss due to
mass transfer is to be determined.
Assumptions 1 The flow of the air into and out of the house through the cracks is steady. 2 The kinetic and potential
energies are negligible. 3 Air is an ideal gas with constant specific heats at room temperature.
Properties The gas constant of air is R = 0.287 kPa m3/kg K (Table A-1). The constant pressure specific heat of air at room
temperature is cp = 1.005 kJ/kg C (Table A-2).

P 101.325 kPa
1.189 kg/m 3
RT (0.287 kPa m 3 /kg K)(24 273)K
Noting that the total energy of a flowing fluid is equal to its enthalpy
when the kinetic and potential energies are negligible, and that the rate
of energy transfer by mass is equal to the product of the mass flow rate Warm
and the total energy of the fluid per unit mass, the rates of energy air

This quantity represents the rate of energy transfer to the refrigerant in the compressor.
Discussion The rate of energy loss by infiltration will be less in reality since some air will leave the house before it is fully
heated to 24 C.

5-22E Steam is leaving a pressure cooker at a specified pressure. The velocity, flow rate, the total and flow energies, and the
rate of energy transfer by mass are to be determined.
Assumptions 1 The flow is steady, and the initial start-up period is disregarded. 2 The kinetic and potential energies are
negligible, and thus they are not considered. 3 Saturation conditions exist within the cooker at all times so that steam leaves
the cooker as a saturated vapor at 20 psia.
Properties The properties of saturated liquid water and water vapor at 20 psia are vf = 0.01683 ft3/lbm, vg = 20.093 ft3/lbm,
ug = 1081.8 Btu/lbm, and hg = 1156.2 Btu/lbm (Table A-5E).
Analysis (a) Saturation conditions exist in a pressure cooker at all times after the steady operating conditions are established.
Therefore, the liquid has the properties of saturated liquid and the exiting steam has the properties of saturated vapor at the
operating pressure. The amount of liquid that has evaporated, the mass flow rate of the exiting steam, and the exit velocity
are
(b) Noting that h = u + Pv and that the kinetic and potential energies are disregarded, the flow and total energies of the
exiting steam are
eflow Pv h u 1156.2 1081.8 74.4 Btu/lbm
h ke pe h 1156.2 Btu/lbm
Note that the kinetic energy in this case is ke = V2/2 = (34.1 ft/s)2 /2 = 581 ft2/s2 = 0.0232 Btu/lbm, which is very small
compared to enthalpy.
(c) The rate at which energy is leaving the cooker by mass is simply the product of the mass flow rate and the total energy of
the exiting steam per unit mass,
3
Emass m (1.765 10 lbm/s)(1156.2 Btu/lbm) 2.04 Btu/s
Discussion The numerical value of the energy leaving the cooker with steam alone does not mean much since this value
depends on the reference point selected for enthalpy (it could even be negative). The significant quantity is the difference
between the enthalpies of the exiting vapor and the liquid inside (which is hfg) since it relates directly to the amount of
energy supplied to the cooker.
5-23C It is mostly converted to internal energy as shown by a rise in the fluid temperature.
5-24C The kinetic energy of a fluid increases at the expense of the internal energy as evidenced by a decrease in the fluid
temperature.
5-25C Heat transfer to the fluid as it flows through a nozzle is desirable since it will probably increase the kinetic energy of
the fluid. Heat transfer from the fluid will decrease the exit velocity.

(b) We take diffuser as the system, which is a control volume since mass crosses the boundary. The energy balance for this
steady-flow system can be expressed in the rate form as

5-38 Steam is accelerated in a nozzle from a velocity of 60 m/s. The mass flow rate, the exit velocity, and the exit area of the
nozzle are to be determined.
Assumptions 1 This is a steady-flow process since there is no change with time. 2 Potential energy changes are negligible. 3
There are no work interactions.
