Answer:64.10 Btu/lbm
Explanation:
Work done in an isothermally compressed steady flow device is expressed as
Work done = P₁V₁ In { P₁/ P₂}
Work done=RT In { P₁/ P₂}
where P₁=13 psia
P₂= 80 psia
Temperature =°F Temperature is convert to °R
T(°R) = T(°F) + 459.67
T(°R) = 55°F+ 459.67
=514.67T(°R)
According to the properties of molar gas, gas constant and critical properties table, R which s the gas constant of air is given as 0.06855 Btu/lbm
Work = RT In { P₁/ P₂}
0.06855 x 514.67 In { 13/ 80}
=0.06855 x 514.67 In {0.1625}
= 0.06855 x 514.67 x -1.817
=- 64.10Btu/lbm
The required work therefore for this isothermal compression is 64.10 Btu/lbm
Answer:

Explanation:
The adiabatic throttling process is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics:


Properties of water at inlet and outlet are obtained from steam tables:
State 1 - Inlet (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)





State 2 - Outlet (Superheated Vapor)




The change of entropy of the steam is derived of the Second Law of Thermodynamics:
