A water turbine is installed to extract energy from the incoming flow. We assume that the flow is uniform at both the inlet and the outlet. We know: the density of fluid p; the area of the inlet A, and that of the outlet A,; the pressure at the inlet (rho1) and that of the outlet (rho2) are different; and the flow velocity at the inlet V1. Find:

a. Flow velocity V2, at the outlet.
b. The overall hydrodynamic force acting on the turbine in the horizontal direction.
c. If we ignore the pressure difference at the inlet and the outlet, and assume that the energy loss of the fluid is completely extracted by the turbine, determine the power extraction

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.

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
