QUESTION 1[25 MARKS]
A 25 cm long hair dryer is made with a fan driven by a motor, an electric heater and an air concentrator (nozzle). When the nozzle touches a horizontal plan, an angle of 28 is noticed between the hair dryer and the plan. The power supplied to the fan is 120 W and the rate of heat from the electric heater is 1200 W . a heat loss of 11 W is noticed when the hair dryer is used. The conditions of air entering the dryer are 1.2 bar, 18C and 11ms. At the exit, air is at 1.4 bar and 110C for a mass flow rate of 0.2kgs. considering the hair dryer as a steady flow energy equation, calculate:
The change in enthalpy of the air occurring per second between entering the fan and leaving the nozzle
The kinetic energy of the air entering the fan per second
The kinetic energy of the air leaving the nozzle per second
The velocity of the air as it leaves the nozzle
The density of the air as it leaves the nozzle
The flow area at the nozzle exit.
