Mixture of saturated liquid-vapor water enters a compressor with mass flow rate of 2 kg/s, velocity of 150 m/s, pressure of 10 kpa and quality of 0.85. The substance leaves the compressor with the velocity of 40 m/s at 7 MPa and 450°C. The heat loss from the compressor is 200 kW. Neglecting the changes in potential energy, determine the compressor required power.

An ice-making machine operates on the ideal vapor-compression cycle, using R-134a. The refrigerant enters the compressor as saturated vapor at 140 kPa and leaves the condenser as saturated liquid at 600 kPa. Water enters the ice machine at 13oC and leaves as ice at -4oC, while removing heat at 393 kJ per kg of water. Estimate the mass flow rate of the refrigerant and the power input to the ice machine for an ice production rate of 7 kg/h.

Saturated water vapor leaves a steam turbine at a flow rate of 1.47 kg/s and a pressure of 0.51 bar. The vapor is to be completely condensed to saturated liquid in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger that uses city water as the cold fluid. The water enters the thin-walled tubes at 17oC and is to leave at 57.6 oC. Assuming an overall heat transfer coefficient of 2000 W/m2K, determine the required heat exchanger surface area and the water flow rate. cp,c...

Steam at 250oC and 1 MPa enters a compressor at a steady rate of 2 m3 /s with a velocity of 0.1 m/s. The device uses 6500 kJ/s of energy to compress the steam to a temperature of 500oC and a pressure of 4 MPa. Assuming that this device is adiabatic and that you can ignore potential energy changes, calculate the steam velocity and mass flow rate at the exit of the compressor.
