LaoLJ - BSME2-1 - ME 211 - Exercise 2

This document contains 4 thermodynamics problems involving calculation of kinetic energy, work, heat transfer, and other variables for systems involving fluids like air and steam. The first problem involves calculating the kinetic energy and speed of a falling body. The second calculates the work and power required to compress air in a reciprocating compressor. The third calculates the work and power from a steam turbine. The fourth calculates the work done on a fluid passing through a thermodynamic system where various properties are given.

ME 211-Thermodynamics 1
Exercise 2 (10-21-20)

1. Assuming that there are no heat effects and no frictional effects, find the kinetic
energy and speed of a 3220-lb body after it falls 778 ft from rest. Start with the steady
flow equation, deleting energy terms which are irrelevant. (10 pts)
2. A reciprocating compressor draws in 500 cubic feet per minute of air whose density is
0.079 lb/cu ft and discharges it with a density of 0.304 lb/cu ft. At the suction, p1 = 15
psia; at discharge, p2 = 80 psia. The increase in the specific internal energy is 33.8
Btu/lb and the heat transferred from the air by cooling is 13 btu/lb. Determine the
work on the air in Btu/min and in hp. Neglect change in kinetic energy. (10 pts)
3. Steam enters a turbine with an enthalpy of 1292 Btu/lb and leaves with an enthalpy of
1098 Btu/lb. The transferred heat is 13 btu/lb. What is the work in Btu/min and in hp
for a flow of 2 lb/sec? (10 pts)
4. A thermodynamic steady flow system receives 4.56 kg per min of a fluid where p 1 =
137.90 kPa, v1 = 0.0388 m3/kg, ѵ1 = 122 m/s, and u1=17.16 kJ/kg. The fluid leaves the
system at a boundary where p2 = 551.6 kpa, v2= 0.193 m3/kg, ѵ2= 183m/s and u2=
52.80 kJ/kg. During passage through the system the fluid receives 3,000 J/s of heat.
Determine the work. (10 pts)
