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
10kg
of air at
200kPa
and
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 C
and speed of
120(m)/(s)
) and leaving at
150kPa
, (at temperature
150\deg C
and 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.
