A mixture having a molar analysis of 60% N2 and 40% CO2 enters an insulated compressor operating at steady state at 1 bar, 30°C with a mass flow rate of 1 kg/s and is compressed to 3 bar, 157°C. Neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine: (a) the magnitude of the power required, in kW. (b) the isentropic compressor efficiency, in percent. (c) the rate of exergy destruction, in kW, for T0 = 300 K.
Liquid propane (C_3H_8) enters a steady-flow combustion chamber at 25 Degree C, and 6 atm at a rate of 0.8 kg/min. It is burned with 150 percent excess air that is compressed and preheated to 400 K and 6 atm before entering the combustion chamber. The products of the combustion enter a gas turbine at 1200 K and 6 tam and leave at 700 K and 1 atm. The adiabatic efficiency of the turbine is 80%. The combustion process is...

Neglect potential energy. (I) Determine the exit temperature of the steam, and its quality (if saturated mixture) (ii) Calculate the actual power output of the turbine, in kW (iii) Illustrate a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines for the isentropic process by clearly indicating all pressure, temperature,...
T =1050 K P.950 kPa m-5k/s Q=12 kW Question 1 150 Points) Combustion gases that we can assume to be air enter a gas turbine at T-1050 K and P-950 kPa at a mass flow rate of 5 kg/s and leave the turbine at T 850 K and P-500 kPa. The heat lost to the surroundings at 25 °C is 12 kW. The flow through the turbine is steady state steady flow process. The air can be assumed to be...
Q1
a) Company A designed a heat pump to
supply heat into a library in Canada during
winter, so that the library can maintain to be at 20°C. The heat
pump utilizes
12,000 L/min of Refrigerant-134a as the working fluid and absorb
heat from an
industrial water stream. The water stream enters the evaporator at
50°C and exits
at 25°C. The refrigerant enters the evaporator at 10°C with 90%
moisture content
and leaves at 20°C. There is no pressure drop in...
Thermo one Question 5 A steam turbine generates energy in the form of work at the rate of 346.1 kJ/kg of steam. The steam at the inlet of the turbine is at 8 MPa, 480oC, and at a velocity of 163.5 m/s. The steam exits the turbine at 2 MPa, 240oC, and a velocity of 55.3 m/s. Heat transfer to the surroundings occurs where the outer surface (boundary) temperature is at 333.5oC. Determine the rate of entropy production (kJ/kg-K) within...
