Chapter 7.4, Problem 7CC
Many toilets in commercial establishments have a value printed on them stating the amount of water consumed per flush. For example, a label of 2 Lpf indicates the consumption of 2 liters per flush. If a toilet is rated at 3 Lpf, how many flushes are required to consume 20 gallons [gal] of water?

1.
Find the force required to move a load of 300 N up a rough plane, the force being applied parallel to
the plane. The inclination of the plane is such that a force of 60 N inclined at 30° to a similar smooth
plane would keep the same load in equilibrium. The coefficient of friction is 0.3.
[Ans. 146 N]
You are heating motor oil to make it flow better from the original shipping container to the new container you built. You know that the heating rate of the motor oil is 2.50 degrees Celsius per slug second [°C
/(slug s)]. Express this heating rate in units of degrees Fahrenheit per pound-mass second [°F/ (lbm s)].

The heating rate is
°F / (lbm s). (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
1. Refrigerant R-22 with the mass of 2 kg is located inside the sealed container, initially saturated vapor at 6.8 bar. Heat was added to refrigerant and final pressure reached 20 bar according to pv=const. Neglecting the kinetic and potential energy changes determine:
Internal energy change in [J]
Heat added to the refrigerant in [J] and work done by fluid in [J].
3.draw the Temperature-volume diagram showing all stages.
4.What do you think about the final stage condition? Is it gas, liquid-gas, or liquid stage?
Use energy balance equation and find all unknowns using the NIST webbook.
