The early steam engines were driven by the atmosphericpressure
acting on the piston fitted into a cylinder filled withsaturated
steam. a vacuum was created in the cylinder by coolingthe cylinder
externally with cold water, and thus condensing thesteam.
consider a piston-cylinder devise with a piston surface areaof
0.1m2 initially with 0.05m3 of saturatedsteam
at the atmospheric pressure of 100kpa. now cold water ispoured
outside the cylinder, and the steam inside starts tocondensing as a
result of heat transfer to the cooling wateroutside. if the piston
is stuck at its initial position, determinethe friction force
acting on the piston, and the amount of heattransfer when the
temperature inside the cylinder drops to30oc.

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.

Along 8-cm diameter steam pipe whose external surface temperature is 900c connects two buildings. the pipe is exposed to ambient air at 70c with a wind speed of 50 km/hr blowing across the pipe. determine the heat loss from the pipe per unit length. (b) air at 500c enters a section of a rectangular duct (15 cm x 20 cm) at an average velocity of 7 m/s. if the walls of the duct are maintained at 100c. a) the length of the tube for an exit temperature of the air to be 40 0c. b)the rate of heat transfer from the air. c) the fan power needed to overcome the pressure drop in this section of the duct.
