A firearm can be modeled as a kind of heat engine, where the projectile acts as a piston that separates from the rest of the system during expansion. Consider a rifle with a 1.70 kg barrel made of iron [specific heat = 448 J/(kg °C)]. The rifle fires a 4.00 g bullet that exits the barrel with a speed of 350 m/s. When the propellant is ignited, 1.10% of the energy released goes into propelling the bullet (this is the thermal efficiency of the "engine"). The other 98.9% can be approximated as being entirely absorbed by the barrel, which increases in temperature uniformly for a short time before this energy is dissipated into the surroundings. What is this temperature increase (in °C)? (Round your answer to at least one decimal place.) °℃

Thermodynamic Example: A fan that consumes 20 W of electric power when operating is claimed to discharge air from a ventilated room at a rate of 0.25 kg/s at a discharge velocity of 8 m/s. Determine if this claim is reasonable.
Q3 The gases in the cylinder of an internal combustion engine have a specific internal energy of 800 kJ/kg and specific volume of 0.06 m3/kg at the beginning of expansion. The expansion of the gases may be assumed to take place according to a reversible law, pv'= constant, from 55 bar to 1.4 bar. The specific internal energy after expansion is 230 kJ/kg.

In the United States, energy for household heating is generally sold using English units, e.g., therm, gal, and cord. A house in Wisconsin uses 1200 therms of thermal energy during the heating season. Calculate the cost of fuel if the furnace uses (a) natural gas with an efficiency of 70%; (b) No. 2 fuel oil, efficiency 65%; (c) kerosene, efficiency 99.9% (unvented); and (d) wood with l5% moisture with an efficiency of 50%. Use the data in Tables 2.2, 2.7, and 2.13. The efficiencies are based on the HHV. Assume the cost of natural gas is $8/MBtu, the cost of No. 2 fuel oil is $3/gal, the cost of kerosene is $3.50/gal, and the cost of wood is $100/cord. Assume the bulk density of cord wood is 30 lbm/ft3 .

Steam enters an adiabatic turbine at the rate of 50 kg/sec. If the steam properties at the inlet are the following: enthalpy = 3520 KJ/kg and velocity = 10 m/sec, at the outlet which is 5 m below the turbine inlet, enthalpy = 2250 kJ/kg and velocity = 275 m/sec, the change in potential energy in kW is nearly equal to?
Two blocks of mass m are brought close to each other with a spring (mass negligible) compressed between then. The spring has potential energy 1/2kx2, where k and x are the force constant and the compression of the spring. The system is held together by a string (mass negligible) that opposes the outward force of the spring. When the string is cut, the spring expands to to its natural length (where it stores no more potential energy), and the two blocks fly apart with total kinetic energy equal to the potential energy that had been stored in the spring. In terms of the mentioned quantities, find the mass of the system before the string was cut.

You, a process design engineer, are tasked to build a powerplant with a net output of 1 MW. First, in an industrial boiler, coal is burned to heat and pressurize 1.6 kg/s of water pumped from an underground reservoir (25 oC, 1 atm) to High Pressure Steam (44 atm, 450 oC). The industrial boiler is insulated, but due to the high temperatures and the nature of the process there are inevitably heat losses. As such, the total heat losses of the whole system is around 20% of the heat from the coal. The High-Pressure Steam, moving at a linear velocity of 70 m/s, is then used to drive a turbine. The low pressure steam from the turbine is used to preheat the boiling water and then released to the atmosphere as saturated steam (100oC and1atm) at a velocity of 10 m/s via an exhaust 10 m above the turbine inlet. How much heat is needed for the powerplant? Use the following values of enthalpy: Water from reservoir 25oC; 1atm H=104.93 kJ/kg High Pressure Steam 450oC; 44atm H=3324.63 kJ/kg Low…
Seventy kilojoules of work is done by each kilogram of fluid passing through an apparatus under steady-flow conditions. In the inlet pipe, which is located 30m above the floor, the specific volume is 3m^3/kg, the pressure is 300 kPa and the velocity is 50 m/s. In the discharge pipe, which is 15 m below the floor, the specific volume is 9 m^3/kg, the pressure is 60 kPa, and the velocity is 150 m/s. Heat loss from the fluid is 3 kJ/kg. Determine the change in internal energy of the fluid passing through the apparatus.

A piston cylinder assembly contains steam. Initially, the specific internal energy (internal energy per unit mass) is equal to 2600 kJ/kg. The steam undergoes a process during which 90 kJ of heat is transferred to the steam. On the other hand, using a specific mechanism installed in the cylinder, 20 kJ of energy are transferred to the steam by work. If 10 kJ of heat is dissipated from the steam to the outside of the cylinder through the wall of the cylinder, Determine the work done by the steam on the piston. The specific internal energy at the final state is equal to 2500 kJ/kg. The mass of the steam is 4.4 kg. Select one: a. 1211 kJ b. 540 kJ c. 780 kJ d. 328 kJ
