Answer:

x_{CO}=0.0203\\x_{O_2}=0.0926\\x_{CO_2}=0.227\\x_{N_2}=0.660

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we consider the reaction:

CO(g)+\frac{1}{2} O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons CO_2

For which the law of mass action is expressed as:

Kp=\frac{n_{CO_2}}{n_{CO}*n_{O_2}^{1/2}} (\frac{P}{n_{Tot}} )^{1-1-1/2}

Whereas the exponents are referred to the stoichiometric coefficients in the chemical reaction. Moreover, in table A-28 (Cengel's thermodynamics) the natural logarithm of the undergoing reaction at 2600 K is 2.801, thus:

K=exp(2.801)=16.46

In such a way, in terms of the change x the equilibrium goes:

16.46=\frac{x}{(3kmol-x)*(2.5kmol-0.5x)^{0.5}} (\frac{5}{13.5kmol-0.5x} )^{-0.5}

Hence, solving for x:

x=2.754kmol

Thus, the moles at equilibrium:

n_{CO}=3-2.754=0.246kmol\\n_{O_2}=2.5-0.5(2.754)=1.123kmol\\n_{CO_2}=x=2.754kmol\\n_{N_2}=8kmol

Finally the compositions:

x_{CO}=\frac{0.246}{0.246+1.123+2.754+8} =0.0203\\\\x_{O_2}=\frac{1.123}{0.246+1.123+2.754+8} =0.0926\\\\x_{CO_2}=\frac{2.754}{0.246+1.123+2.754+8} =0.227\\\\x_{N_2}=\frac{8}{0.246+1.123+2.754+8} =0.660

Best regards.

A certain heat pump produces 200 kW of heating for a 293 K heated zone while only using 75 kW of power and a heat source at 273
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

COP(heat pump) = 2.66

COP(Theoretical maximum) = 14.65

Explanation:

Given:

Q(h) = 200 KW

W = 75 KW

Temperature (T1) = 293 K

Temperature (T2) = 273 K

Find:

COP(heat pump)

COP(Theoretical maximum)

Computation:

COP(heat pump) = Q(h) / W

COP(heat pump) = 200 / 75

COP(heat pump) = 2.66

COP(Theoretical maximum) = T1 / (T1 - T2)

COP(Theoretical maximum) = 293 / (293 - 273)

COP(Theoretical maximum) = 293 / 20

COP(Theoretical maximum) = 14.65
