Urgent An industrial process discharges 5,700 m3/min of gaseous products at 200°C, 100 kPa. The figure below shows a proposed system for utilizing the combustion products and its steady state conditions. Heat transfer from the outer surface of the steam generator (heat exchanger) and turbine can be ignored, as can the changes in kinetic and potential energies of the streams. There is no pressure drop through the heat exchanger. The combustion product can be modeled as air as an ideal...
The figure below shows a turbine-driven pump that provides water to a mixing chamber located 25m higher than the pump. Steady-state operating data for the turbine and pump are labeled on the figure. Heat transfer from the water to the surroundings occurs at a rate of 2 kW. For the turbine, heat transfer with the surroundings and potential energy effects are negligible.

4.96 Figure P4.96 provides steady-state data for a throttling valve in series with a heat exchanger. Saturated liquid Refrigerant 134a enters the valve at a pressure of 9 bar and is throttled to a pressure of 2 bar. The refrigerant then enters the heat exchanger, exiting at a temperature of 10℃ with no significant decrease in pressure. In a separate stream, liquid water at 1 bar enters the heat exchanger at a temperature of 25℃ with a mass flow rate of...
