A heat engine operates between 2 reservoirs at TH and 18oC. The heat engine receives 17,000 kJ/h from the high temperature reservoir, and delivers half of its power output to drive a Carnot heat pump. The Carnot heat pump removes heat from the cold surroundings at 0oC and transfers it to a house which is maintained at 24oC. If the house is losing heat at a rate of 80,000 kJ/h, determine the temperature TH of the heat engine reservoir.

An engine runs on the ideal diesel cycle. the cycle has a compression ratio of 20 and a cutoff ratio of 2. the highest temperature in the cycle is 1200 k. if the heat into the system is 300 kj/kg of working fluid and using variable specific heats determine the work produced per mass of working fluid

A2-m rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 100 kpa. the tank is connected to a supply line through a valve. steam is flowing in the supply line at 600 kpa and 300 c. the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to enter the tank until the pressure in the tank reaches the line pressure, at which point the valve is closed. a thermometer placed in the tank indicates that the temperature at the final state is 200°c. determine (a) the mass of steam that has entered the tank (b) the amount of heat transfer.

The maximum shear stress and maximum flexural stress occur at the same location along a beam subjected to a non-uniform bending load. a)-trune b)- false
