    PROBLEM SET NO. 1

    1. A turbine receives 150 lbm/sec of air at 63 psia and 2450°R and expands it polytropically to
    14.7 psia. The exponent n is equal to 1.45 for the process.
     Determine the power in horsepower and heat flux in BTU/sec.
     Determine if the heat is leaving or entering the system.
    2. An adiabatic tank containing air is used to power an air turbine during times of peak power
    demand. The tank has a volume of 500 m3 and contains air at 1000 kPa and 500 K. Determine
    a. the mass in slugs remaining when the pressure reaches 100 kPa;
    b. the temperature in Rankine at this instant;
    3. A rigid, perfectly insulated system contains 0.53 m3 of helium at 1000 kPa. The system receives
    1000 kJ of paddle work. Determine the final pressure in mmHg.
    4. A constant-pressure, adiabatic system contains 0.15 kg of air at 150 kPa. The system receives
    20.79 kJ of paddle work. The temperature of the air is initially 278 K and finally 416 K. Find the
    mechanical work and the changes of internal energy and enthalpy, all in SI unit.
    5. Air is compressed polytropically from 101 kPa and 23°C and delivered to a tank at 1500 kPa
    and 175°C. Determine per kg of air:
    a. the heat removed during compression;
    b. the reversible work.
    6. One kg of air expands at a constant temperature from a pressure of800 kPa and a volume of 2
    m3 to a pressure of 200 kPa. Determine
    a. the work;
    b. the heat;
    c. the change of internal energy;
    d. the change of enthalpy.
    7. A rigid adiabatic cylinder is separated into two compartments, one containing 2 Ibm of air at 70
    psia and 100°F, and the other 1 lbm of air at 15 psia and 200°F. The division between the
    compartments is removed. Determine the equilibrium temperature and pressure.
    8. A tank contains 2 Ibm of air at 50 psia and 140"F. A valve is opened, and air leaves the tank
    until the pressure is 25 psia. Determine the heat required to keep the temperature constant.
    9. Air, initially at 20 psia and 100°F, occupies 6.0 ft^3 . It is compressed isothermally until the
    volume is halved and then compressed at constant pressure until the volume decreases to one-
    quarter the initial volume. Sketch the processes on a p-V diagram and determine the total heat
    and total work for the two processes.
    10. A pump delivers 700 gal/min of water. The intake to the pump is 230 ft below the final
    discharge. The inlet and discharge pressure are essentially atmospheric, and the temperature of
    the water remains constant at 68°F during the process. Determine the power required by the pump.
