True

An ideal gas is compressed isothermally from 100kPa to 900kPa. The change in enthalpy is.

Zero

An air conditioner condenser uses a fan driven flow of air to cool a flow of liquid refrigerant through copper tubes. The air mass flow rate must equal the refrigerant mass flow rate. T?F

False

During a throttle process the temperature of an ideal gas will?

Stay the same

Which device converts kinetic energy from a fluid flow to produce increased pressure.

diffuser

A device that adds work to a steady flow of gas to increase its pressure significantly is a?

Compressor

Air flows steadily and is heated essentially at constant pressure through a pipe that is heated by a furnace, as shown to the right. What happens to the mass flow rate of air as it flows through the pipe?

mass flow rate remains the same.

The purpose of a nozzle is to?

convert high pressure fluid to high velocity fluid

If a process is steady state, steady flow, the sum of mass flow rates into the system equals the sum of the mass flow rates out of the system. T/F

True

True

A heat engine thermal efficiency of 100% satisfies the Second Law.

False
