The radiator of a steam heating system has a volume of 35 L and is filled with superheated water vapor at 200 kPa and 200°C. At this moment, both the inlet and the exit valves to the radiator are closed.

Liquid methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) is introduced into a vessel containing air. The system temperature is increased to 55°C, and the vessel contents reach equilibrium with some MEK remaining in the liquid state. The equilibrium pressure is 1200 mm Hg.

If the maximum allowable shear stress is 70 MPa, find the shaft diameter needed to transmit 40 kW when the shaft speed is 250 rpm.

What is the k-value for the shelter material (units are BTU-hr-ft-deg F) ?

An automobile engine consumes fuel at a rate of 22 L/hr and delivers 50kW of power to the wheels. If the fuel has a heating value of 44,000 kJ/kg and adensity of 2 g/cm3, determine the efficiency of this engine.

A completely reversible heat pump produces heat at a rate of 100 kW to warm a house maintained at 25℃. The exterior air, which is at 0℃, serves as the source.

A closed system undergoes a process in which work is done on the system and the heat transfer Q occurs only at temperature Tb. For each case, determine whether the entropy change of the system is positive, negative, zero, or indeterminate.

A scientist who is evaluating an ancient human skeleton for signs of vitamin and nutrient deficiency is conducting:
