Storm sewer backup causes your basement to flood at the steady rate of 1 in. of depth per hour. The basement floor area is 2600
ft2. What capacity (gal/min) pump would you rent to (a) keep the water accumulated in your basement at a constant level until the storm sewer is blocked off, and (b) reduce the water accumulation in your basement at a rate of 3 in./hr even while the backup problem exists?

Answer: The exit temperature of the gas in deg C is .
Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
= 1000 J/kg K, R = 500 J/kg K = 0.5 kJ/kg K (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)
= 100 kPa,
We know that for an ideal gas the mass flow rate will be calculated as follows.
or, m =
=
= 10 kg/s
Now, according to the steady flow energy equation:
= 5 K
= 5 K + 300 K
= 305 K
= (305 K - 273 K)
=
Therefore, we can conclude that the exit temperature of the gas in deg C is .
