Question
Determine the average water exit velocity
Answer:
53.05 m/s
Explanation:
Given information
Volume flow rate,
Diameter d= 8cm= 0.08 m
Assumptions
- The flow is jet flow hence momentum-flux correction factor is unity
- Gravitational force is not considered
- The flow is steady, frictionless and incompressible
- Water is discharged to the atmosphere hence pressure is ignored
We know that Q=AV and making v the subject then
where V is the exit velocity and A is area
Area, where d is the diameter
By substitution
To convert v to m/s from m/s, we simply divide it by 60 hence
Assumptions:
- Steady state.
- Air as working fluid.
- Ideal gas.
- Reversible process.
- Ideal Otto Cycle.
Explanation:
Otto cycle is a thermodynamic cycle widely used in automobile engines, in which an amount of gas (air) experiences changes of pressure, temperature, volume, addition of heat, and removal of heat. The cycle is composed by (following the P-V diagram):
- Intake <em>0-1</em>: the mass of working fluid is drawn into the piston at a constant pressure.
- Adiabatic compression <em>1-2</em>: the mass of working fluid is compressed isentropically from State 1 to State 2 through compression ratio (r).
- Ignition 2-3: the volume remains constant while heat is added to the mass of gas.
- Expansion 3-4: the working fluid does work on the piston due to the high pressure within it, thus the working fluid reaches the maximum volume through the compression ratio.
- Heat Rejection 4-1: heat is removed from the working fluid as the pressure drops instantaneously.
- Exhaust 1-0: the working fluid is vented to the atmosphere.
If the system produces enough work, the automobile and its occupants will propel. On the other hand, the efficiency of the Otto Cycle is defined as follows:
where:
Ideal air is the working fluid, as stated before, for which its specific heat ratio can be considered constant.

Answer:
0.08kg/s
Explanation:
For this problem you must use 2 equations, the first is the continuity equation that indicates that all the mass flows that enter is equal to those that leave the system, there you have the first equation.
The second equation is obtained using the first law of thermodynamics that indicates that all the energies that enter a system are the same that come out, you must take into account the heat flows, work and mass flows of each state, as well as their enthalpies found with the temperature.
finally you use the two previous equations to make a system and find the mass flows
