QUESTION 3 a) How would you know that iron
(150\deg C)and copper bars
(20\deg C)which are brought into contact in isolated enclosure follows Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics? (2 marks) b) A rigid tank contains
10kgof air at
200kPaand
27\deg C. The air is heated until its pressure is twice the initial value (assume ideal gas behavior). Determine: i) The volume of the tank. (2 marks) ii) The amount of heat transfer. (6 marks) c) Air flows steadily through an adiabatic turbine, entering at
1MPa, (at temperature
500\deg Cand speed of
120(m)/(s)) and leaving at
150kPa, (at temperature
150\deg Cand speed of 250
(m)/(s)). The inlet area of turbine is
80cm^(2). Determine: i) The mass flow rate of the air. ii) The power output of the turbine.
