Air enters a compressor at 100 kPa and 25 ⁰C. It is compressed to 2 MPa and exits the compressor at 540 K. The compressor is at

a higher temperature than the surroundings, therefore 140 kJ is lost to the surroundings (as heat) per kg of air flowing through the compressor. You can neglect the kinetic and potential energy. (a) What is the reversible work? (answer in kJ/kg, as a negative number) (b) What is the irreversibility rate? (answer in kJ/kg)

Answer:

(a) The reversible work is 207 kJ/kg

(b) The irreversibility rate is -38.39 kJ/kg

Explanation:

State1 : p1 = 100kpa, T1= 25+273 =298k

From air table, h1 =298.18 kJ/kg, s10= 1.69528 kJ/kgK

State 2a:p2=2mpa,t2=540k (actual condition 2a)

h2a= 544.35 kJ/kg,s2a0=2.29906

actual work input to the compressor =wout=h1-h2+Qin

=298.18-544.35+(-150)kJ/kg(- sign indicate heat loss)

=(-246.17)kJ/kg(-ve sign indicates the work is given into the system

a) Reversible work= Win actual - any irreversiblities present

=246.17 + irreversibilty

b) irreversibility = T0(Entopy generation Sgen) for air, Sgen

=s20-s10-Rln(p2/p1), T0=250C

=(25+273)(s2a0-s10-Rlnp2/p1+Qout/Tsurr)

= 298x[(2.29906-1.69528-0.287kJ/kgK xln(2000kpa/100) + 150 /298]

= -38.39 kJ/kg

a)Reversible work = Win actual -any irreversiblities present

=246.17 + irreversibilty

=246.17+-38.39

=207 kJ/kg

2. A well of 0.1 m radius is installed in the aquifer of the preceding exercise and is pumped at a rate averaging 80 liter/min.

hodyreva [135]

Question:

The question is not complete. See the complete question and the answer below.

A well that pumps at a constant rate of 0.5m3/s fully penetrates a confined aquifer of 34 m thickness. After a long period of pumping, near steady state conditions, the measured drawdowns at two observation wells 50m and 100m from the pumping well are 0.9 and 0.4 m respectively. (a) Calculate the hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity of the aquifer (b) estimate the radius of influence of the pumping well, and (c) calculate the expected drawdown in the pumping well if the radius of the well is 0.4m.

Answer:

T = 0.11029m²/sec

Radius of influence = 93.304m

expected drawdown = 3.9336m

An aluminum block weighing 28 kg initially at 140°C is brought into contact with a block of iron weighing 36 kg at 60°C in an in

Anika [276]

Answer:

Equilibrium Temperature is 382.71 K

Total entropy is 0.228 kJ/K

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the Aluminium block, M = 28 kg

Initial temperature of aluminium, $T_{a} = 140^{\circ}C$ = 273 + 140 = 413 K

Mass of Iron block, m = 36 kg

Temperature for iron block, $T_{i} = 60^{\circ}C$ = 273 + 60 = 333 K

At 400 k

Specific heat of Aluminium, $C_{p} = 0.949\ kJ/kgK$

At room temperature

Specific heat of iron, $C_{p} = 0.45\ kJ/kgK$

Now,

To calculate the final equilibrium temperature:

Amount of heat loss by Aluminium = Amount of heat gain by Iron

$MC_{p}\Delta T = mC_{p}\Delta T$

$28\times 0.949(140 - T_{e}) = 36\times 0.45(T_{e} - 60)$

Thus

$T_{e} = 109.71^{\circ}C$ = 273 + 109.71 = 382.71 K

where

$T_{e}$ = Equilibrium temperature

Now,

To calculate the changer in entropy:

$\Delta s = \Delta s_{a} + \Delta s_{i}$

Now,

For Aluminium:

$\Delta s_{a} = MC_{p}ln\frac{T_{e}}{T_{i}}$

$\Delta s_{a} = 28\times 0.949\times ln\frac{382.71}{413} = - 2.025\ kJ/K$

For Iron:

$\Delta s_{i} = mC_{i}ln\frac{T_{e}}{T_{i}}$

$\Delta s_{a} = 36\times 0.45\times ln\frac{382.71}{333} = 2.253\ kJ/K$

Thus

$\Delta s =-2.025 + 2.253 = 0.228\ kJ/K$

A gas enters a compressor that provides a pressure ratio (exit pressure to inlet pressure) equal to 8. If a gage indicates the g

olga55 [171]

Answer:

$P_2_{abs}=160\ psia$ (absolute).

Explanation:

Given that

Pressure ratio r

r=8

$r=\dfrac{P_2_{abs}}{P_1_{abs}}$

$8=\dfrac{P_2_{abs}}{P_1_{abs}}$ -----1

P₁(gauge) = 5.5 psig

We know that

Absolute pressure = Atmospheric pressure + Gauge pressure

Given that

Atmospheric pressure = 14.5 lbf/in²

P₁(abs) = 14.5 + 5.5 psia

P₁(abs) =20 psia

Now by putting the values in the above equation 1

$8=\dfrac{P_2_{abs}}{20}$

$P_2_{abs}=8\times 20\ psia$

$P_2_{abs}=160\ psia$

Therefore the exit gas pressure will be 160 psia (absolute).

A 4-kW electric heater runs for 2 hours to raise the room temperature to the desired level. Determine the amount of electric ene

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Q' = 8 KW.h

Q'=28800 KJ

Explanation:

Given that

Heat Q= 4 KW

time ,t = 2 hours

The amount of energy used in KWh given as

Q ' = Q x t

Q' = 4 x 2 KW.h

Q' = 8 KW.h

We know that

1 h = 60 min = 60 x 60 s = 3600 s

We know that W = 1 J/s

The amount of energy used in KJ given as

Q' = 8 x 3600 = 28800 KJ

Therefore

Q' = 8 KW.h

Q'=28800 KJ
