Castor oil is increasingly becoming an important bio-based raw material for industrial applications. The oil is non-edible and can be extracted from castor seeds from the castor plant belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae. The oil is a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fatty acid esters linked to a glycerol. The presence of hydroxyl group, a double bond, carboxylic group and a long chain hydrocarbon in ricinoleic acid (a major component of the oil), offer several possibilities of transforming it into variety of materials. The oil is thus a potential alternative to petroleum-based starting chemicals for the production of materials with variety of properties. Despite this huge potential, very little has recently been reviewed on the use of castor oil as a bio-resource in the production of functional materials. This review therefore highlights the potential of castor oil in the production of these diverse materials with their projected global market potential. The review gives the background information of castor oil and its geographical availability, the properties and its uses as bio-based resource for synthesis of various materials. The review further highlights on the use of castor oil or ricinoleic acid as a green capping agent in the synthesis of nanomaterials.
Answer:
The final specific internal energy of the system is 1509.91 kJ/kg
Explanation:
The parameters given are;
Mass of steam = 1 kg
Initial pressure of saturated steam p₁ = 1000 kPa
Initial volume of steam, = V₁
Final volume of steam = 5 × V₁
Where condition of steam = saturated at 1000 kPa
Initial temperature, T₁ = 179.866 °C = 453.016 K
External pressure = Atmospheric = 60 kPa
Thermodynamic process = Adiabatic expansion
The specific heat ratio for steam = 1.33
Therefore, we have;
Adding the effect of the atmospheric pressure, we have;
p = 1000 + 60 = 1060
We therefore have;
T₁/T₂ = 1.70083
T₁ = 1.70083·T₂
T₂ - T₁ = T₂ - 1.70083·T₂
Whereby the temperature of saturation T₁ = 179.866 °C = 453.016 K, we have;
T₂ = 453.016/1.70083 = 266.35 K
ΔU = 3××(T₂ - T₁)
= cv for steam at 453.016 K = 1.926 + (453.016 -450)/(500-450)*(1.954-1.926) = 1.93 kJ/(kg·K)
cv for steam at 266.35 K = 1.86 kJ/(kg·K)
We use cv given by (1.93 + 1.86)/2 = 1.895 kJ/(kg·K)
ΔU = 3××(T₂ - T₁) = 3*1.895 *(266.35 -453.016) = -1061.2 kJ/kg
The internal energy for steam =
= 2777.12 kJ/kg
= 0.194349 m³/kg
p = 1000 kPa
= 2777.12 - 0.194349 * 1060 = 2571.11 kJ/kg
The final specific internal energy of the system is therefore, + ΔU = 2571.11 - 1061.2 = 1509.91 kJ/kg.
