An air compressor delivers 0.20 m3 of air at a pressure of 850 kPa and 31oC into
an air reservoir. Taking the gas constant of air as 0.287 kJ/ Kg -K, calculate the
mass of air delivered.
A.1.59 kg

b.1.95 kg

Solution:

PV = mRT

c. 5.91 kg

(850)(0.20) = m(0.287)(31+273)
m= 1.95 kg

d. 5.19 kg

An oxygen cylinder of volume 2.3 ft3 has a pressure of 2200 psig and is at 70oF .
Determine the mass of oxygen in the cylinder.
a. 26.66 lbs

b. 26.86 lbs c.28.66 lbs

Solution: PV = mRT

(2214.7)(2.3)(144) = m(48.291)(530)

P= 2200 +14.7 = 2214.7 psi

T= 70 +460 = 530 oR
R = 48.291 (oxygen)

d. 28.88 lbs

m = 28.66 lbs

What is the power of a steam jet 15 mm in diameter moving at 750 m/s? Steam
condition, 1.4 kg/ cm2, dry and saturated (v = 1.256 m3/kg ).
a. 29.67 kW

b. 39.67 kW

c. 19.67 kW

Solution: P = mV2

Then, P = (0.1055)(750)2

Solving for m: m = pAV

P = 29,671 W

p = 1/ v = 1 / 1.256 = 0.796 kg/m 3

A = (pi / 4)(0.015)2 = 1.7671 x 10-4 m2
V = 750 m/s
m = (0.796)(1.7671x 10-4)(750) = 0.1055kg/s

P = 29.67 kW

d. 49.67 kW

How much power is there in the kinetic energy of the atmosphere ( density = 1.217
kg/m3 ) at 56 kph wind velocity? Consider the section that passes through a 3m
diameter circular area normal to the velocity.
a. 10.21 kW

b. 15.21kW

c. 16.21 kW

Solution: P = mV2

m = (1.217)(7.07)(15.56) = 133.88 kg/s

Solution for m: m = pAV

P = (133.88)(15.56)2

p = 1 / v = 1 / 1.256 = 0.796 kg/m 3

A = (pi / 4)(3)2 = 7.07 m2
V = 56 km/hr = 15.56 m/s

P = 16,207.08 W
P = 16.21 kW

d. 17.21 kW

An electric heater is to heat 11 kg of oil per min. From 4.5oC to 65.5oC. Specific
heat of the oil is 2.1J/gm-oC. How many watts should this heater consume?
a. 20 448 W

b. 33 448 W

Solution: Q = mCp(T2 - T1)

Where; m = 11 kg/min = 0.183 kg/s
Cp = 2.1 J/gm-oC = 2.1 kJ/Kg-oC
Q = 0.183(2.1)(65.5 - 4.5)
Q = 23,442W

c. 20 400 W

d. 23 442 W
