Air is contained in a vertical piston–cylinder assembly such that the piston is in static equilibrium. The atmosphere exerts a p

ressure of 101 kPa on top of the 0.5-m-diameter piston. The gage pressure of the air inside the cylinder is 1.2 kPa. The local acceleration of gravity is g = 9.81 m/s2 . Subsequently, a weight is placed on top of the piston causing the piston to fall until reaching a new static equilibrium position. At this position, the gage pressure of the air inside the cylinder is 2.8 kPa. Determine (a) the mass of the piston, in kg, and (b) the mass of the added weight, in kg

Answer:

a) 24 kg

b) 32 kg

Explanation:

The gauge pressure is of the gas is equal to the weight of the piston divided by its area:

p = P / A

p = m * g / (π/4 * d^2)

Rearranging

p * (π/4 * d^2) = m * g

m = p * (π/4 * d^2) / g

m = 1200 * (π/4 * 0.5^2) / 9.81 = 24 kg

After the weight is added the gauge pressure is 2.8kPa

The mass of piston plus addded weight is

m2 = 2800 * (π/4 * 0.5^2) / 9.81 = 56 kg

56 - 24 = 32 kg

The mass of the added weight is 32 kg.

Air at T1 = 32°C, p1 = 1 bar, 50% relative humidity enters an insulated chamber operating at steady state with a mass flow rate
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

4.5kg/min

Explanation:

Given parameters

T_1 = 32^0 C,  m_1 = 3 kg/min, T_2 = 7^0 C ,T_3 = 17^0

if we take  

The mass flow rate of the second stream = m_2(kg/min)

The mass flow rate of mixed exit stream = m_3 (kg/min)

Now from mass conservation

m_3 = m_2 + m_1

m_3 = m_2 + 3 (kg/min)

The temperature of the mixed exit stream given as

T_3m_3 = T_2m_2 +T_1m_1\\\\17 ( 3 + m_2) = 7 \times m_2 + 32 \times 3\\\\51 + 17 m_2 = 7 m_2 + 96\\\\10 m_2 = 96 - 51\\\\m_2 = 4.5 kg/min\\\\\\\\

Therefore the mass flow rate of second stream will be 4.5 kg/min.
