1. A high-velocity water jet nozzle has 0.02 m and 0.
0001 m as its inlet and outlet
diameters, respectively. Water discharges from the nozzle at a rate of 0.0060 kg/s. If the
outlet pressure is 0.2 MPa, determine the pressure at the inlet, assuming the flow to be
isothermal.
2. A fluid flows through a steady-flow open system at the rate of 3 kg/s. At the system inlet,
the pressure, velocity, and internal energy are 5 atm, 150 m/s, and 2000 kJ/kg, respectively,
and the specific volume is 0.4 m3/kg. The fluid leaves the system with 1.2 atm, 80 m/s, an
internal energy of 1300 kJ/kg and specific volume of 1.1 m3/kg. The fluid loses 25 kJ/kg
through heat transfer during the process. Determine the power output of the system, neglect
the change in potential energy.
3. Air initially at 1 bar and 290 K is compressed in steady state to 5 bars and 450 K. The
power input to the air under steady-flow conditions is 5 kW, and a heat loss of 5 kJ/kg
occurs during the process. If the changes in potential and kinetic energies are neglected,
determine the mass flow rate, in kg/min.
4. A steam turbine operates with an inlet condition of 30 bars, 400°C, 160 m/s and an
outlet state of a saturated vapor at 0.7 bar with a velocity of 100 m/s. The mass flow rate
is 1200 kg/min, and the power output is 10800 kW. Determine the magnitude and
direction of the heat-transfer rate, in kJ/min, if the potential energy change is negligible
5. At a certain position in a piping system a liquid with a specific gravity of 1.50 passes
in steady state through an 8-cm pipe with a velocity of 1.2 m/s. At some position
downstream, the elevation of the pipe has increased 15.0 m and the pipe size has been
reduced to 5 cm. The temperature of the fluid is constant at 30°C, a heat loss of 25
N.m/kg occurs, and local gravity is 9.80 m/s2. Determine the change in pressure, in bars
and megapascals.
