Question: Problem 1 : Air expands through a turbine operating at steady state. At the inlet, p 1 = 1 5 0 l b f i

Problem 1:
Air expands through a turbine operating at steady state. At the inlet, p1=150lbfin2,T1=1400R, and at the exit, p2=14.8lbfin2,T2=700R. The mass flow rate of air entering the turbine is 11lbs, and 65,000BTUhr of energy is rejected by heat transfer. Neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the power developed, in hp.
Problem 2:
Air enters a compressor operating at steady state with a pressure of 14.7lbfin2, a temperature of 80F, and a volumetric flow rate of 18ft3s. The air exits the compressor at a pressure of 90lbfin2. The heat transfer from the compressor to its surroundings occurs at a rate of 9.7BTUlb of air flowing. The compressor power input is 90 hp . Neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects and modeling air as an ideal gas, determine the exit temperature, in F.
Problem 3:
An air-conditioning system is shown in the figure, in which air flows over tubes carrying Refrigerant 134a. Air enters with a volumetric flow rate of 50m3min at 32C,1 bar and exits at 22C,0.95 bar.
Refrigerant enters the tubes at 5 bar with a quality of 20% and exits at 5 bar, 20C. Ignoring heat transfer to the surroundings of the air-conditioning system, and neglecting the kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the following a steady state:
a) The mass flow rate of the refrigerant, in kgmin
b) The rate of heat transfer, in kJmin, between the air and the refrigerant.
Assume air behaves as an ideal gas during the operation of the air-conditioning system.
