5. Refrigerant-134a at 700kPa, 70°C, and 8 kg/min is cooled by air in a condenser until it exits as a saturated liquid at the same pressure. The cooling air enters the condenser at 1MPa and 10°C and leaves at 17°C at the same pressure. Determine: a) Considering only the Refrigerant as a system, the heat transfer rate of a refrigerant from the condenser in (kl/min). R-134a Tables are attached! b) The mass flow rate of the air required for cooling...
Hexane is a non-polar solvent with a boiling point of 68 °C, and is therefore the solvent of choice for oil extraction. The recovery system removes most of the hexane vapors from the air entering various pieces of equipment in the hexane solvent extraction plant, before discharging that air to the atmosphere. A gas stream contains 18 mole % hexane and the remainder is air leaving the solvent recovery unit at 150 °C and 1 atm and flow into condenser,...
Propane gas enters a continuous adiabatic heat exchanger 240°C. Superheated steam at 300 C and 5 bar enters the exchanger flowing countercurrently to the propane and exits as a saturated liquid at the same pressure at 40 C and 250 kPa and exits at Taking flow chart.

1. Saturated liquid H20 at 16 MPa is fed into the boiler of a variant of a Carnot cycle (but simplified Rankin cycle) where the working fluid is not an ideal gas. Saturated H20 vapor is fed into the turbine of the same turbine. The condenser of this turbine is operated at 8 kPa. The mass flowrate of the H20 in this cycle is 7.2x103 kg/min. Draw the path of this process on T-s diagram. Estimate the thermal efficiency...

-Rome can get pretty hot in the mid-summer! Most of the air conditioning units in the Tiber campus use the working fluid R-134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane), which is replaces the less environmentally-friendly R-12 of years ago. a) Illustrate the following air conditioning cycle, indicating material, heat, and work flows, as well as given/known temperatures and pressures: R-134a is pressurized to 10.2 bar in an adiabatic, reversible compressor. This high-pressure, hot refrigerant is condensed outside of the building using ambient air to a...
