An example of a transient analysis involving the 1st law of thermodynamics and conservation of mass is the filling of a compressed air tank. Assume that an air tank is being filled using a compressor to a pressure of 5 atm, and that it is being fed with air at a temperature of 25°C and 1 atm pressure. The compression process is adiabatic. Will the temperature of the air in the tank when it is done being filled i. e. once the pressure in the tank reaches 5 atm), be greater than, equal to, or less that the temperature of the 25°C air feeding the compressor?

Greater than 25°C
Unable to determine
Same as 25°C
Less than 25°C

Along 8-cm diameter steam pipe whose external surface temperature is 900c connects two buildings. the pipe is exposed to ambient air at 70c with a wind speed of 50 km/hr blowing across the pipe. determine the heat loss from the pipe per unit length. (b) air at 500c enters a section of a rectangular duct (15 cm x 20 cm) at an average velocity of 7 m/s. if the walls of the duct are maintained at 100c. a) the length of the tube for an exit temperature of the air to be 40 0c. b)the rate of heat transfer from the air. c) the fan power needed to overcome the pressure drop in this section of the duct.
