A cyclic device operates between three thermal reservoirs, as shown in the figure. Heat is transferred  to/form the cyclic device. It is assumed that heat transfer between each thermal reservoir and the cyclic device takes place across negligible temperature difference. Interactions between the cyclic device and the respective thermal reservoirs that are shown in the figure are all in the form of heat transfer

For the three-dimensional object shown in the figure below, five faces are insulated. The sixth face (PQRS), which is not insulated, interacts thermally with the ambient, with a convective heat transfer coefficient of 10 W/m2K. The ambient temperature is 30°C. Heat is uniformly generated inside the object at the rate of 100 W/m3. Assuming the face PQRS to be at uniform temperature, its steady state temperature is

1.  10°C

2.  20°C

3.  30°C

4.  400C

Water, having a density of 1000 kg/m3, issues from a nozzle with a velocity of 10 m/s and the jet strikes a bucket mounted on a Pelton wheel. The wheel rotates at 10 rad/s. The mean diameter of the wheel is 1 m. The jet is split into two equal streams by the bucket, such that each stream is deflected by 120°, as shown in the figure. Friction in the bucket may be neglected. Magnitude of the torque exerted by the water on the wheel, per unit mass flow rate of the incoming jet, is

Moist air at a pressure of 100 kPa is compressed to 500 kPa and then cooled to 35°C in an after cooler. The air at the entry to the after cooler is unsaturated and becomes just saturated at the exit of the after cooler. The saturation pressure of water at 35°C is 5.628 kPa. The partial pressure of water vapour (in kPa) in the moist air entering the compressor is closest to
