A pump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. Water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. The inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°F, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 90 lbf/in.2 The pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. Water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 Btu/lb · °R. Neglecting kinetic...

4. Liquid water at 100°F and 200 gal/min volumetric flow rate enters a cooling tower operating at steady state. Atmospheric air enters with a dry-bulb temperature of 80°F and a wet-bulb temperature of 60°F. Moist air exits the cooling tower at 90° and 90% relative humidity. Makeup water is provided at 80°F. Calculate the mass flow rates of the dry air and makeup water, each in lb/min, versus return water temperature at 80, 90, and 100°F. Ignore kinetic and potential...
Problem 1: This is textbook problem 4.51 (page 224) Steam at 1800 lbf/in2 and 1100 °F enters a turbine operating at steady state. As shown in the Figure, 20% of the entering mass flow is extracted at 600 lbf/in2 and 500 °F. The rest of the steam exits as a saturated vapor at 1 lbf/in2 . The turbine develops a power output of 6.8×106 Btu/h. Heat transfer from the turbine to the surroundings occurs at a rate of 5×104 Btu/h....
When boiling water, a hot plate takes an average of 7 minutes (min) and 16 seconds [s] to boil 150 milliliters [ml] of water. Assume the temperature in the lab is 78 degrees Fahrenheit (°F). The hot plate is rated to provide 379 watts [W]. If we wish to boil 150 milliliters (ml) of acetone using this same hot plate, how long do we expect the process to take? Acetone has a boiling point of 56 degrees Celsius [°C]. [Hint:...
a. Calculate the dry air and water vapor mass flow rates (lb/min) if the volume flow rate is 1,000 cfm, the humidity ratio is 0.025 lbv/lba, and the dry air density is 0.072 Iba/ft3. b. Assume the above air enters an evaporator coil at 90°F where it is cooled in a constant humidity ratio process until reaching the 100 % RH curve ( the temperature at that point is the dew point. The air then keeps dropping in temperature, following...
