Acetylene gas (C2H2) at 25°C is burned during a steady-flow combustion process with 30 percent excess air at 27°C. It is observe
d that 75,000 kJ of heat is being lost from the combustion chamber to the surroundings per kmol of acetylene. Assuming combustion is complete, determine the exit temperature of the product gases.
1 answer:
Answer:
Final answer should be TP = 2062.1 K
Explanation:
Assumptions:
Combustion is complete.
Air and combustion gases are ideal gases.
Kinetic and potential energies are negligible.
There are no work interactions.
Analysis:
The fuel is burned completely with the excess air, and thus the products will contain only CO2, H2O, N2, and some free O2. Considering 1 kmol of C2H2, the combustion equation can be written as:

Answer:
flow(m) = 54.45 kg/s
thermal efficiency u = 44.48%
Explanation:
Given:
- P_1 = P_8 = 10 KPa
- P_2 = P_3 = P_6 = P_7 = 800 KPa
- P_4 = P_5 = 10,000 KPa
- T_5 = 550 C
- T_7 = 500 C
- Power Output P = 80 MW
Find:
- The mass flow rate of steam through the boiler
- The thermal efficiency of the cycle.
Solution:
State 1:
P_1 = 10 KPa , saturated liquid
h_1 = 192 KJ/kg
v_1 = 0.00101 m^3 / kg
State 2:
P_2 = 800 KPa , constant volume process work done:
h_2 = h_1 + v_1 * ( P_2 - P_1)
h_2 = 192 + 0.00101*(790) = 192.80 KJ/kg
State 3:
P_3 = 800 KPa , saturated liquid
h_3 = 721 KJ/kg
v_3 = 0.00111 m^3 / kg
State 4:
P_4 = 10,000 KPa , constant volume process work done:
h_4 = h_3 + v_3 * ( P_4 - P_3)
h_4 = 721 + 0.00111*(9200) = 731.21 KJ/kg
State 5:
P_5 = 10,000 KPa , T_5 = 550 C
h_5 = 3500 KJ/kg
s_5 = 6.760 KJ/kgK
State 6:
P_6 = 800 KPa , s_5 = s_6 = 6.760 KJ/kgK
h_6 = 2810 KJ/kg
State 7:
P_7 = 800 KPa , T_7 = 500 C
h_7 = 3480 KJ/kg
s_7 = 7.870 KJ/kgK
State 8:
P_8 = 10 KPa , s_8 = s_7 = 7.870 KJ/kgK
h_8 = 2490 KJ/kg
- Fraction of steam y = flow(m_6 / m_3).
- Use energy balance of steam bleed and cold feed-water:
E_6 + E_2 = E_3
flow(m_6)*h_6 + flow(m_2)*h_3 = flow(m_3)*h_3
y*h_6 + (1-y)*h_3 = h_3
y*2810 + (1-y)*192.8 = 721
Compute y: y = 0.2018
- Heat produced by the boiler q_b:
q_b = h_5 - h_4 +(1-y)*(h_7 - h_8)
q_b = 3500 -731.21 + ( 1 - 0.2018)*(3480 - 2810)
Compute q_b: q_b = 3303.58 KJ/ kg
-Heat dissipated by the condenser q_c:
q_c = (1-y)*(h_8 - h_1)
q_c= ( 1 + 0.2018)*(2810 - 192)
Compute q_c: q_c = 1834.26 KJ/ kg
- Net power output w_net:
w_net = q_b - q_c
w_net = 3303.58 - 1834.26
w_net = 1469.32 KJ/kg
- Given out put P = 80,000 KW
flow(m) = P / w_net
compute flow(m) flow(m) = 80,000 /1469.32 = 54.45 kg/s
- Thermal efficiency u:
u = 1 - (q_c / q_b)
u = 1 - (1834.26/3303.58)
u = 44.48 %
