Two mass streams of the same ideal gas are mixed in a steady-flow chamber while receiving energy by heat transfer from the surro

undings. The mixing process takes place at constant pressure with no work and negligible changes in kinetic and potential energies. Assume the gas has constant specific heats.
a. Determine the expression for the final temperature of the mixture in terms of the rate of heat transfer to the mixing chamber and the inlet and exit mass flow rates.
b. Obtain an expression for the volume flow rate at the exit of the mixing chamber in terms of the volume flow rates of the two inlet streams and the rate of heat transfer to the mixing chamber.
c. For the special case of adiabatic mixing, show that the exit volume flow rate is the sum of the two inlet volume flow rates.

Answer:

(a)The final temperature of mixture is T₃ =m₁T₁/m₃+ m₂T₂/m₃ + Qin/m₃Cp

(b) The final volume is V₃ =V₁ + V₂ + RQin/P₃Cp

(c) The volume flow rate at exit is V₃ =V₁ + V₂

Explanation:

Solution

Now

The system comprises of two inlets and on exit.

Mass flow rate enthalpy of fluid from inlet -1 be m₁ and h₁

Mass flow rate enthalpy of fluid from inlet -2 be m₂ and h₂

Mass flow rate enthalpy of fluid from exit be m₃ and h₃

Mixing chambers do not include any kind of work (w = 0)

So, both the kinetic and potential energies of the fluid streams are usually negligible (ke =0, pe =0)

(a) Applying the mass balance of mixing chamber, min = mout

Applying the energy balance of mixing chamber,

Ein = Eout

min hin =mout hout

miCpT₁ + m₂CpT₂ +Qin =m₃CpT₃

T₃ = miCpT₁/m₃CpT₃ + m₂CpT₂/m₃CpT₃ + Qin/m₃CpT₃ +

T₃ =m₁T₁/m₃+ m₂T/m₃ + Qin/m₃Cp

The final temperature of mixture is T₃ =m₁T₁/m₃+ m₂T₂/m₃ + Qin/m₃Cp

(b) From the ideal gas equation,

v =RT/PT

v₃ = RT₃/P₃

The volume flow rate at the exit, V₃ =m₃v₃

V₃ = m₃ RT₃/P₃

Substituting the value of T₃, we have

V₃=m₃ R/P₃ (=m₁T₁/m₃+ m₂T₂/m₃ + Qin/m₃Cp)

V₃ = R/P₃ (m₁T₁+ m₂T₂ + Qin/Cp)

Now

The mixing process occurs at constant pressure P₃=P₂=P₁.

Hence V₃ becomes:

V₃=m₁RT₁/P₁ +m₂RT₂/P₂ + RQin/P₃Cp

V₃ =V₁ + V₂ + RQin/P₃Cp

Therefore, the final volume is V₃ =V₁ + V₂ + RQin/P₃Cp

(c) Now for an adiabatic mixing, Qin =0

Hence V₃ becomes:

V₃ =V₁ + V₂ + r * 0/P₃Cp

V₃ =V₁ + V₂ + 0

V₃ =V₁ + V₂

Therefore the volume flow rate at exit is V₃ =V₁ + V₂

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

248.756 mV

49.7265 µA

Explanation:

The Thevenin equivalent source at one terminal of the bridge is ...

voltage: (100 V)(1000/(1000 +1000) = 50 V

impedance: 1000 || 1000 = (1000)(1000)/(1000 +1000) = 500 Ω

The Thevenin equivalent source at the other terminal of the bridge is ...

voltage = (100 V)(1010/(1000 +1010) = 100(101/201) ≈ 50 50/201 V

impedance: 1000 || 1010 = (1000)(1010)/(1000 +1010) = 502 98/201 Ω

__

The open-circuit voltage is the difference between these terminal voltages:

(50 50/201) -(50) = 50/201 V ≈ 0.248756 V . . . . open-circuit voltage

__

The current that would flow is given by the open-circuit voltage divided by the sum of the source resistance and the load resistance:

(50/201 V)/(500 +502 98/201 +4000) = 1/20110 A ≈ 49.7265 µA

A fluid of specific gravity 0.96 flows steadily in a long, vertical 0.71-in.-diameter pipe with an average velocity of 0.90 ft/s

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

0.00650 Ib s /ft^2

Explanation:

diameter ( D ) = 0.71 inches = 0.0591 ft

velocity = 0.90 ft/s ( V )

fluid specific gravity = 0.96 (62.4 ) ( x )

change in pressure ( P ) = 0 because pressure was constant

viscosity = (change in p - X sin∅ ) $D^{2}$ / 32 V

= ( 0 - 0.96( 62.4) sin -90 ) * 0.0591 ^2 / 32 * 0.90

= - 59.904 sin (-90) * 0.0035 / 28.8

= 0.1874 / 28.8

viscosity = 0.00650 Ib s /ft^2

(a) The lower yield point for an iron that has an average grain diameter of 1 x 10-2 mm is 230 MPa. At a grain diameter of 6 x 1

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The answer is " $4.35 \times 10^{-3}\ mm$ and 157.5 MPa".

Explanation:

In point A:

The strength of its products with both the grain dimension is linked to this problem. This formula also for grain diameter of 310 MPA is represented as its low yield point

$y = yo + \frac{k}{\sqrt{x}}$

Here y is MPa is low yield point, x is mm grain size, and k becomes proportionality constant.

Replacing the equation for each condition:

$y = y_o + \frac{k}{\sqrt{(1 \times 10^{-2})}}\\\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ 230 = yo + 10k\\\\ y = yo + \frac{k}{\sqrt{(6\times 10^{-3})}}\\\\275 = yo + 12.90k$

People can get yo = 275 MPa with both equations and k= 15.5 Mpa $mm^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

To substitute the answer,

$310 = 275 + \frac{(15.5)}{\sqrt{x}}\\\\x = 0.00435 \ mm = 4.35 \times 10^{-3}\ mm$

In point b:

The equation is $\sigma y = \sigma 0 + k y d^{\frac{1}{2}}$

equation is:

$75 = \sigma o+4 ky \\\\175 = \sigma o+12 ky\\\\ky = 12.5 MPa (mm)^{\frac{1}{2}} \\\\ \sigma 0 = 25 MPa\\\\d= 8.9 \times 10^{-3}\\\\d^{- \frac{1}{2}} =10.6 mm^{-\frac{1}{2}}\\$

by putting the above value in the formula we get the $\sigma y$ value that is= 157.5 MPa
