You just purchased a 400-L rigid tank for a client who works in the gas industry. The tank is delivered pre-filled with 3 kg of

air at a temperature of 25C. Assuming an atmospheric pressure of 98 kPa, determine the pressure reading if you connected a pressure gage to the tank.

Answer:

the pressure reading when connected a pressure gauge is 543.44 kPa

Explanation:

Given data

tank volume (V) = 400 L i.e 0.4 m³

temperature (T) = 25°C i.e. 25°C + 273 = 298 K

air mass (m) = 3 kg

atmospheric pressure = 98 kPa

To find out

pressure reading

Solution

we have find out pressure reading by gauge pressure

i.e. gauge pressure = absolute pressure - atmospheric pressure

first we find absolute pressure (p) by the ideal gas condition

i.e pV = mRT

p = mRT / V

p = ( 3 × 0.287 × 298 ) / 0.4

p = 641.44 kPa

so

gauge pressure = absolute pressure - atmospheric pressure

gauge pressure = 641.44 - 98

gauge pressure = 543.44 kPa

Explanation:

$\begin{aligned}\gamma &=\sqrt{Z Y}=\sqrt{(R+j \omega L)(G+j \omega C)} \\&-\sqrt{|17|} j\left(6 \times 10^{8}\right)\left(0.35 \times 10^{-6}\right)|| 75 \times 10^{-6}\left|j\left(6 \times 10^{8}\right)\left(40 \times 10^{-12}\right)\right| \\&=0.094+j 2.25 \mathrm{m}^{-1}-\alpha+j \beta\end{aligned}$

Wet steam at 15 bar is throttled adiabatically in a steady-flow process to 2 bar. The resulting stream has a temperature of 130°

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

$\Delta s = 0.8708\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

Explanation:

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

$m\cdot (h_{in} - h_{out}) = 0$

$h_{in} = h_{out}$

Properties of water at inlet and outlet are obtained from steam tables:

State 1 - Inlet (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)

$P = 1500\,kPa$

$T = 198.29\,^{\textdegree}C$

$h = 2726.9\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$s = 6.3068\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

$x = 0.967$

State 2 - Outlet (Superheated Vapor)

$P = 200\,kPa$

$T = 130\,^{\textdegree}C$

$h = 2726.9\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$s = 7.1776\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

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

$\Delta s = 7.1776\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K} - 6.3068\, \frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

$\Delta s = 0.8708\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

A cooling system load is 96,000 BTUh sensible. How much chilled air is required to satisfy the load if the system is designed fo

Natalija [7]

Answer:

For $20^{\circ}$ - 5.556 lb/s

For $15^{\circ}$ - 7.4047 lb/s

Solution:

As per the question:

System Load = 96000 Btuh

Temperature, T = $20^{\circ}$

Temperature rise, T' = $15^{\circ}$

Now,

The system load is taken to be at constant pressure, then:

Specific heat of air, $C_{p} = 0.24 btu/lb ^{\circ}F$

Now, for a rise of $20^{\circ}$ in temeprature:

$\dot{m}C_{p}\Delta T = 96000$

$\dot{m} = \frac{96000}{C_{p}\Delta T} = \frac{96000}{0.24\times 20} = 20000 lb/h = \frac{20000}{3600} = 5.556 lb/s$

Now, for $15^{\circ}$ :

$\dot{m}C_{p}\Delta T = 96000$

$\dot{m} = \frac{96000}{C_{p}\Delta T} = \frac{96000}{0.24\times 15} = 26666.667 lb/h = \frac{26666.667}{3600} = 7.4074 lb/s$

A closed system of mass 10 kg undergoes a process during which there is energy transfer by work from the system of 0.147 kJ per

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

-50.005 KJ

Explanation:

Mass flow rate = 0.147 KJ per kg

mass= 10 kg

Δh= 50 m

Δv= 15 m/s

W= 10×0.147= 1.47 KJ

Δu= -5 kJ/kg

ΔKE + ΔPE+ ΔU= Q-W

0.5×m×(30^2- 15^2)+ mgΔh+mΔu= Q-W

Q= W+ 0.5×m×(30^2- 15^2) +mgΔh+mΔu

= 1.47 +0.5×1/100×(30^2- 15^2)-9.7×50/1000-50

= 1.47 +3.375-4.8450-50

Q=-50.005 KJ
