A specific internal combustion engine has a displacement volume VD of 5.6 liters. The processes within each cylinder of the engine are modeled as a cold air-standard Diesel cycle with a cutoff ratio rc = 2.5. The pressure, temperature, and volume of the air at the beginning of compression are p1 = 95 kPa, T1 = 26◦C, and V1 = 6.0 liters. Use values of cv = 0.72 kJ/kg·K and γ = 1.38 for air. Determine: (a) the net work per cycle, in kJ. (b) the thermal efficiency η

Aplate of dimensions 3 m x 3 m is placed 0.37 mm apart from a fixed plate. the plate requires a force of 2n to move at speed of 45 cm/s. evaluate the viscosity of the fluid in between the plates

To save energy, the air supply to a 2000 ft office has been shut off overnight and the room temperature has dropped to 40°f. in the morning, the thermostat is reset to 70°f and warm air at 120 f begins to flov in at 200ft'/min. the air is well mixed within the room, and an equal mass flow of air at room temperature (changing with time) is withdrawn through a return duct. the air pressure is nearly 1 atm everywhere. ignoring heat transfer with the surroundings and kinetic and potential energy effects, estimate how long it takes for the room temperature to reach 70°f. plot the room temperature as a function of time.

In the winter, in order to keep the classroom steadily at 68 f before 10 pm, heating with an average rate of 42,000 btu/hr is provided. assume the outdoor temperature maintains at 32°f, determine the electrical power (kw) required to (a) operate a reversible heat pump (b) operate a real heat pump with a cop (7) of 4.5 and (c) operate an electrical-resistance heater.
