8. When supplying heated air for a building, one often chooses to mix in some fresh outside air with air that has been heated fr
om the building as it passes through the furnace. An insulated mixing chamber is used to combine two streams of air to be used in a building. One stream of air, brought from the outside, enters at 2 kg/s, at a pressure of 120 kPa, and a temperature of 5oC. The second stream of air, coming from the building’s furnace, has a mass flow rate of 8 kg/s, a pressure of 120 kPa, and a temperature of 35oC. The combined stream is then delivered to the warm space at 120 kPa. Determine the rate of entropy generation for this mixing chamber.

Answer:
A) energy loss E = pgQtH
Where p = density in kg/m3
g = gravity acceleration in m/s2
Q = flow rate in m3/s
t = time taken for flow in sec
H = height of flow in m
B) power required to run pump;
P = pgQH
Explanation:
Detailed explanation and calculation is shown in the image below
<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>
Volume of gas stream = 1000 cfm (Cubic Feet per Minute)
Particulate loading = 400 gr/ft3 (Grain/cubic feet)
1 gr/ft3 = 0.00220462 lb/ft3
Total weight of particulate matter =
Cyclone is to 80 % efficient
So particulate remaining =
emissions from this stack be limited to = 10.0 lb/hr
Particles to be remaining after wet scrubber = 10.0 lb/hr
So particles to be removed = 685.7136- 10 = 675.7136
Efficiency = output multiply with 100/input = 98.542 %
