A rigid insulated tank is divided into 2 equal compartments by a thin rigid partition. One of the compartments contains air, assumed to be an ideal gas at 800 kPa and 300 K. The other compartment is under a vacuum. The partition is suddenly broken and the air rushes into the evacuated compartment. The tank pressure and temperature eventually equilibrate. a. Define the system you will use and draw a labeled schematic.
b. Write the energy balance for the system, making simplifications as appropriate.
c. What is the final temperature of the gas, K?
d. What is the final pressure, kPa?

When at a point two solid phase changes to one solid phase on cooling then it is known as a) eutectoid point b) eutectic point c) peritectic point d) peritectoid point

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?

The flow rate of air through a through a pipe is 0.02 m5/s. a pitot static tube is placed in the flow. the radius of the pitot static tube is 1 mm. assuming the flow to be steady and the air to be at 300k, calculate the difference in total and static pressure if the diameter of the pipe is: (a) d 0.1 m d 0.05 m (c) d 0.01 m
