Answer:

(a) Q_1=0.283m^3/s

(b) W=68.8kW

Explanation:

Hello,

(a) Based on the inlet conditions, we see that such carbon dioxide has an ideal behavior, so the inlet specific volume is:

v_1=\frac{RT}{PM}=\frac{8.314\frac{Pa*m^3}{mol*K}*300K}{100000Pa*44g/mol} =0.000567m^3/kg

Thus, the volumetric flow rate turns out:

Q_1=0.000567m^3/g*0.5kg/s*1000=0.283m^3/s

(b) Now, by writing and energy balance we have:

mh_1+W=mh_2

Thus, since the ideal gas enthalpy does not depend on the pressure, in Cengel's A-20 table, the corresponding enthalpies at 300K and 450 K are 9431kJ/kmol and 15483kJ/kmol whose values in kJ/kg are 214.34 kJ/kg and 351.89 kJ/kg respectively, thus:

W=0.5kg/s*(351.89-214.34)kJ/kg=68.8kW

Best regards.

Help please ;( really don’t understand Chemistry would really appreciate it if can explain to me thank you!
Tanya [424]

Answer:

b)   O₂

d)   CH₄

Explanation:

In a chemical equation, the <u>reactants</u> are the substances that are written on the <u>left side</u>. The reactants react to produce the products. On the right side, the products are written.

The arrow => is used to separate the reactants from the products.

To the left of the arrow, you can see this written:

CH₄ + 2O₂

The plus sign + is used to separate each reactant.

In 2O₂ you can ignore the big 2 because it is a coefficient, which is written to balance the equation.

The reactants are CH₄ and O₂

How many liters of octane are in a shipping container that contains 45 moles?
Andrew [12]
D. 1,008 liters because you are looking for liters from a calculation of moles. Recognizing that you can do STP (22.4L) you multiply this number by 45 moles and it is 1,008 liters
