Refrigerant 134a enters a horizontal pipe operating at steady state at 40oC, 300 kPaand a velocity of 40 m/s. At the exit, the t

emperature is 50oC and the pressure is 240 kPa. The pipe diameter is 0.04 m. Determine (a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, in kg/s, (b) the velocity at the exit, in m/s, and (c) the rate of heat transfer between the pipe and its surroundings, in kW

Answer:

1. Mass flow rate = 0.621Kg/s

2. Velocity = 52.2m/s

3. Rate = +6.82kW

Explanation:

Given

Refrigerant = R134a

Diameter, d = 0.04m

T1 = 40°C

P1 = 300kPa

V1 = 40m/s

T2 = 50°C

P2 = 240kPa

a.

The specific volume of refrigerant R134a at T1 and P1 from Refrigerant table (A12) = v1 = 0.08089 m³/kg

The specific volume of refrigerant R134a at T2 and P2 from Refrigerant table (A12) = v2 = 0.10562 m³/kg.

Mass flow rate is calculated as follows...

= AV/v

Where A = Area =πd²/4

V = velocity = ,40

v = v1 = 0.08089 m³/kg.

So. Mass flow rate= (π * 0.04²/4 * 40 ) / 0.0809

Mass flow rate = 0.621Kg/s

b.

Calculating Velocity at the exit.

This is given as;

m * v2 / A

0.621 * 0.10562 / (π * 0.04²/4)

= 52.2m/s

c. Calculating the rate of heat transfer between the pipe and its surroundings

From energy equation, we have.

Q -> m * [(h2 - h1) + ((,V2² - V1²)/2)]

Where h2 is the specific enthalpy for refrigerant at T1 and P1

h2 = 234.05 Kj/Kg

And h1 is the specific enthalpy for refrigerant at T2 and P2

h2 = 244.47 Kj/Kg

Rate = the specific enthalpy for refrigerant at T1 and P1

h2 = 234.05 Kj/Kg

Rate = 0.621[(234.05 - 244.47) + (52.2² - 40²)/2]

Rate = 0.621[(234.05 - 244.47) +

562.42] --- Convert the kW

Rate = 0.621((244.47 - 234.05) +

562.42/1000)

Rate = +6.82kW

700.0 liters of a gas are prepared at 760.0 mmHg and 100.0 °C. The gas is placed into a tank under high pressure. When the tank
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The volume of the gas is 11.2 L.

Explanation:

Initially, we have:

V₁ = 700.0 L

P₁ = 760.0 mmHg = 1 atm

T₁ = 100.0 °C

When the gas is in the thank we have:

V₂ =?

P₂ = 20.0 atm

T₂ = 32.0 °C      

Now, we can find the volume of the gas in the thank by using the Ideal Gas Law:

PV = nRT

V_{2} = \frac{nRT_{2}}{P_{2}}    (1)

Where R is the gas constant

With the initials conditions we can find the number of moles:

n = \frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{RT_{1}}    (2)

By entering equation (2) into (1) we have:

V_{2} = \frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{RT_{1}}*\frac{RT_{2}}{P_{2}} = \frac{1 atm*700.0 L*32.0 ^{\circ}}{100.0 ^{\circ}*20.0 atm} = 11.2 L

Therefore, When the gas is placed into a tank the volume of the gas is 11.2 L.

I hope it helps you!

Train levels a station and travels north at 60km/hr. Two hours later, a second train leaves on a parallel track and travels nort
Amanda [17]

Answer: they would be 300 miles from the station.

Explanation:

At the point where both trains meet, they would have covered the same distance.

Let t represent the time spent by the first train in covering this distance.

Distance = speed × time

The first train leaves the station and travels north at 60km/hr.

Distance covered by the first train is

60 × t = 60t

Two hours later, a second train leaves on a parallel track and travels north at 100km/hr. Time spent by the second train in covering this distance is (t - 2) hours

Distance covered by the second train is

100(t - 2) = 100t - 200

Since both trains covered the same distance, then

100t - 200 = 60t

100t - 60t = 200

40t = 200

t = 200/40

t = 5 hours

The distance that they would be from the station is

60 × 5 = 300 miles
