A block 4kg in mass rests on a horizontal plane. What value of horizontal force is required to (a) move the block, (b) maintain the motion of the block once it is moved? The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are 0.23 and 0.18, respectively. What will the force be, if the force is instead applied 25° above the horizontal?


The pressure and temperature of mixture of 4 kg of O2 and 6 kg of N2 are 4 bar 

and 27°C respectively. For the mixture determine the following ) :i) The mole 

fraction of each component ; (ii) The average molecular weight; (iii) The specific 

gas constant ; (iv) The volume and density ;(v) The partial pressures and partial 

volumes


 90 kJ of heat are supplied to a system at a constant volume. The system rejects 

95 kJ of heat at constant pressure and 18 kJ of work is done on it. The system 

is brought to original state by adiabatic process, i.e. (Heat add or reject of this 

process is equal zero). Determine, (i) The adiabatic work; )ii) The values of 

internal energy at all end states if initial value is 105 kJ. Draw the 

thermodynamic cycle on Pv diagram.


In a vertical frictionless piston and cylinder arrangement, 10 grams of water are 

heated to expand from 5 bar and 200oC to 500oC by a heat reservoir at 600oC. 

Find work and heat exchanged by water during this process. Find entropy 

change of water, heat reservoir and universe.


5. In a turbine, 0.3 kg/s of CO2 expands from 5 bar and 27oC to 1 bar according to 

the polytropic process Pv1.2 = constant, in order to produce cold gases for an 

industrial process. Find the final temperature as well as heat and mechanical 

powers exchanged.


A rigid tank of volume 24 liters contains 0.2 kg of H2O originally at 2 bar. Find 

specific volume and initial temperature. What are the phases present (solid, 

liquid, vapor?). The tank was heated until its pressure reached 20 bar. Find work 

and heat exchanged during this process as well as final temperature


An insulated water heater operating at steady state has two inlets and one 

outlet. At inlet 1, liquid water enters at 7 bar, 42oC, and a mass flow rate of 70 

kg/s. At inlet 2, wet vapor at 7 bar with a quality of 98% is injected. At outlet, 

saturated liquid at 7 bar exits the water heater. Ignoring heat transfer with the 

surroundings and neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine 

the mass flow rate, in kg/s, at inlet 2


Steam enters with negligible velocity a well-insulated turbine operating at 

steady state at 4 MPa, 320°C. The steam expands to an exit pressure of 0.07 

MPa, a quality (dryness fraction) of 0.95 and a velocity of 90 m/s. The diameter 

of the exit is 0.6 m. Neglecting potential energy effects, find the power 

developed by the turbine in kW


Steam is stored in a 0.3m3

rigid tank, initially at 7bar and 440oC. After a long 

time, steam temperature was measured and found to be 240oC. Find the final 

pressure as well as work and heat exchanged during that time.


In a mixer enters two streams: CO2 at a rate of 2kg/s and 35oC as well as N2 at 

a rate of 3 kg/s and 50oC. During mixing, 100kW of heat is added while all inlet 

and outlet streams are at 4 bar. Obtain outlet mixture temperature, partial 

pressures of each gas.
