Q3) (5 pts) A thermodynamic property is a measurable characteristic of a system.

Q8) (10 pts) Water leaving a nozzle at 60 m/s and a flow rate of 120 kg/s is to be used to generate power by striking buckets on the perimeter of a rotating wheel.  Determine the power generation potential of this water jet.

Q11) (25 pts) Three (3) kilograms of saturated liquid water is contained in a constant-pressure system at a pressure of 500 kPa (State A).  Energy is added to the fluid until it has a quality of 60% (State B).  Determine: a. The initial temperature b. The final pressure and temperature c. The volume change d. Draw the process on a T-v diagram and label the locations of State A and State B on the diagram. e. List any assumptions you had to make to solve this problem (Work on your own paper which you will upload at the end of the exam.  Also, enter your numerical result below.)

Q7) (10 pts) Determine the specific kinetic energy of a mass whose velocity is 30 m/s in kJ/kg.
