1) Book Problem 4.76: Steam enters a heat exchanger operating at steady state at 250 kPa and a quality of 90% and exits as saturated liquid at the same pressure. A separate stream of oil with a mass flow rate of 29 kg/s enters at 20C and exits at 100C with no significant change in pressure. The specific heat of the oil is C = 2.0 kJ/kgK. If heat transfer from the heat exchanger to its surroundings is 10% of the energy required to increase the temperature of the oil, determine the steam mass flow rate, in kg/s. 2) Book Problem 4.109: A rigid tank whose volume is 10 L is initially evacuated. A pinhole develops in the wall, and air from the surroundings at 1 bar, 25C enters until the pressure in the tank becomes 1 bar. No significant heat transfer between the contents of the tank and the surroundings occurs. Assuming the ideal gas model with k=1.4 for the air, determine (a) the final temperature in the tank, in C, and (b) the amount of air that leaks into the tank, in g. 3) Book Problem 4.122: A rigid tank having a volume of 0.1 m3 initially contains water as a two-phase liquid-vapor mixture at 1 bar and a quality of 1 %. The water is heated in two stages: Stage 1: Constant-volume heating until the pressure is 20 bar. Stage 2: Continued heating while saturated water vapor is slowly withdrawn from the tank at a constant pressure of 20 bar. Heating ceases when all the water remaining in the tank is saturated vapor at 20 bar. For the water, evaluate the heat transfer, in kJ, for each stage of heating.
