HOME Study Problems for Chapter 7

AE 210
1. Heat in the amount of 100 kJ is transferred directly from a hot reservoir at 1200 K to a cold
reservoir at 600 K. Calculate the entropy changes of the two reservoirs and determine if the
increase of entropy principle is satisfied.

2. A rigid tank contains an ideal gas at 40°C that is being stirred by a paddle wheel. The paddle
wheel does 200 kJ of work on the ideal gas. It is observed that the temperature of the ideal
gas remains constant during this process as a result of heat transfer between the system and
the surroundings at 30°C. Determine the entropy change of the ideal gas.

3. Steam enters an adiabatic diffuser at 150 kPa and 120°C with a velocity of 550 m/s.
Determine the minimum velocity that the steam can have at the outlet when the outlet
pressure is 300 kPa.

4. Determine the total heat transfer for the reversible process 1-3 shown in the figure below.

5. A 50-kg copper block initially at 140°C is dropped into an insulated tank that contains 90 L
of water at 10°C. Determine the final equilibrium temperature and the total entropy change
for this process.

6. Five kg of air at 427°C and 600 kPa are contained in a piston–cylinder device. The air
expands adiabatically until the pressure is 100 kPa and produces 600 kJ of work output.
Assume air has constant specific heats evaluated at 300 K.
(a) Determine the entropy change of the air in kJ/kg·K.
(b) Since the process is adiabatic, is the process realistic? Using concepts of the second law,
support your answer.

7. Calculate the work produced, in kJ/kg, for the reversible steady-flow process 1–3 shown in
the figure below.

8. Argon gas enters an adiabatic turbine at 800°C and 1.5 MPa at a rate of 80 kg/min and
exhausts at 200kPa. If the power output of the turbine is 370 kW, determine the isentropic
efficiency of the turbine.

9. Air enters a compressor steadily at the ambient conditions of 100 kPa and 22°C and leaves at
800 kPa. Heat is lost from the compressor in the amount of 120 kJ/kg, and the air experiences
an entropy decrease of 0.40 kJ/kg·K. Using constant specific heats, determine (a) the exit
temperature of the air, (b) the work input to the compressor, and (c) the entropy generation
during this process.
