A direct contact heat exchanger (where the fluid mixes completely) has three inlets and one outlet. The mass flow rates of the i

nlets are 1kg/s, 1.5kg/s and 2 kg/s. The enthalpy of those inlets are the 100kJ/kg, 120kJ/kg, and 500kJ/kg, respectively. What is the enthalpy at the outlet?

Answer:

Enthalpy at outlet=284.44 KJ

Explanation:

$m_1=1 Kg/s,m_2=1.5 Kg/s,m_3=22 Kg/s$

$h_1=100 KJ/Kg,h_2=120 KJ/Kg,h_3=500 KJ/Kg$

We need to Find enthalpy of outlet.

Lets take the outlet mass m and outlet enthalpy h.

So from mass conservation

$m_1+m_2+m_3=m$

m=1+1.5+2 Kg/s

m=4.5 Kg/s

Now from energy conservation

$m_1h_1+m_2h_2+m_3h_3=mh$

By putting the values

$1\times 100+1.5\times 120+2\times 500=4.5\times h$

So h=284.44 KJ

What is the activation energy (Q) for a vacancy formation if 10 moles of a metal have 2.3 X 10^13 vacancies at 425°C?

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

$Activation\ Energy=2.5\times 10^{-19}\ J$

Explanation:

Using the expression shown below as:

$N_v=N\times e^{-\frac {Q_v}{k\times T}$

Where,

$N_v$ is the number of vacancies

N is the number of defective sites

k is Boltzmann's constant = $1.38\times 10^{-23}\ J/K$

${Q_v}$ is the activation energy

T is the temperature

Given that:

$N_v=2.3\times 10^{13}$

N = 10 moles

1 mole = $6.023\times 10^{23}$

So,

N = $10\times 6.023\times 10^{23}=6.023\times 10^{24}$

Temperature = 425°C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15

So,

T = (425 + 273.15) K = 698.15 K

T = 698.15 K

Applying the values as:

$2.3\times 10^{13}=6.023\times 10^{24}\times e^{-\frac {Q_v}{1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 698.15}$

$ln[\frac {2.3}{6.023}\times 10^{-11}]=-\frac {Q_v}{1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 698.15}$

$Q_v=2.5\times 10^{-19}\ J$

Consider a Carnot refrigeration cycle executed in a closed system in the saturated liquid–vapor mixture region using 1.06 kg of

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

$P_m_i_n = 442KPA$

Explanation:

We are given:

m = 1.06Kg

$T_H = 1.2T_L$

T = 22kj

Therefore we need to find coefficient performance or the cycle

$COP_R = \frac {1}{(T_R/T_l) -1}$

$= \frac {1 }{1.2-1}$

= 5

For the amount of heat absorbed:

$Q_l = COP_R Wm$

= 5 × 22 = 110KJ

For the amount of heat rejected:

$Q_H = Q_L + W_m$

= 110 + 22 = 132KJ

[tex[ q_H = \frac{Q_L}{m} [/tex];

= $= \frac{132}{1.06}$

= 124.5KJ

Using refrigerant table at hfg = 124.5KJ/Kg we have 69.5°c

Convert 69.5°c to K we have 342.5K

To find the minimum temperature:

$T_L = \frac{T_H}{1.2}$ ;

$T_L = \frac{342.5}{1.2}$

= 285.4K

Convert to °C we have 12.4°C

From the refrigerant R -134a table at $T_L$ = 12.4°c we have 442KPa

What is the thermal efficiency of this regeneration cycle in terms of enthalpies and fractions of total flow?

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

$\eta =\dfrac{(h_3-h_4)-(h_2-h_1)}{(h_3-h_5)}$

Explanation:

generally regeneration of cycle is used in the case of gas turbine. due to regeneration efficiency of turbine is increased but there is no effect on the on the net work out put of turbine.Actually in regeneration net heta input is decreases that is why total efficiency increase.

Now from T-S diagram

$W_{net}=W_{out}-W_{in}$

$W_{net}=(h_3-h_4)-(h_2-h_1)$

$Q_{in}=h_3-h_5$

Due to generation $(h_5-h_2)$ amount of energy has been saved.

$Q_{generation}=Q_{saved}$

So efficiency of cycle $\eta =\frac{W_{net}}{Q_{in}}$

$\eta =\dfrac{(h_3-h_4)-(h_2-h_1)}{(h_3-h_5)}$

Effectiveness of re-generator

$\varepsilon =\dfrac{(h_5-h_2)}{(h_4-h_2)}$

So the efficiency of regenerative cycle

$\eta =\dfrac{(h_3-h_4)-(h_2-h_1)}{(h_3-h_5)}$
