At a certain location, wind is blowing steadily at 10 m/s. determine the mechanical energy of air per unit mass and the power generation potential of a wind turbine with 115-m-diameter (d blades at that location. take the air density to be 1.25 kg/m3. the mechanical energy of air per unit mass is kj/kg. the power generation potential of the wind turbine is kw.

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.

Atmospheric air has a temperature (dry bulb) of 80° f and a wet bulb temperature of 60° f when the barometric pressure is 14.696 psia. determine the specific humidity, grains/lb dry air. a. 11.4 c. 55.8 d. 22.5 b. 44.1

Acertain flow of air (at stp) has a velocity distribution given by v i (in ft/s). if this flow is going through a 4 ft square area in the yz-plane (centered at the origin), what is the mass flow rate (in lbm/s)?
