Nitrogen gas is compressed at steady state from a pressure of 14.2 psi and a temperature 60o F to a pressure of 120 psi and a te

mperature of 500o F. The gas enters a compressor with a volumetric flow rate of 1200 ft3 /min. The magnitude of the heat transfer rate from the compressor to its surroundings is 5% of the compressor power input. Using the ideal gas model (with variable specific heats) and neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine (a) The compressor power input (in horsepower). (b) The volumetric flow rate at the exit (in ft3 /min).

Answer:

a) 229.4281 hp.

b) 262.15 ft3/min.

Explanation:

Given data:

P1 = 14.2 psi

T1 = 60°F = 520° R

P2 = 120 psi

T2 = 500°F = 960° R

volumetric flow rate ( Av1 ) = 1200 ft^3 /min = 20 ft^3 / sec

attached below is the detailed solution

Nataly [62]

Answer:

P = 4.745 kips

Explanation:

Given

ΔL = 0.01 in

E = 29000 KSI

D = 1/2 in  

LAB = LAC = L = 12 in

We get the area as follows

A = π*D²/4 = π*(1/2 in)²/4 = (π/16) in²

Then we use the formula

ΔL = P*L/(A*E)

For AB:

ΔL(AB) = PAB*L/(A*E) = PAB*12 in/((π/16) in²*29*10⁶ PSI)

⇒  ΔL(AB) = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAB

For AC:

ΔL(AC) = PAC*L/(A*E) = PAC*12 in/((π/16) in²*29*10⁶ PSI)

⇒  ΔL(AC) = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAC

Now, we use the condition

ΔL = ΔL(AB)ₓ + ΔL(AC)ₓ = ΔL(AB)*Cos 30° + ΔL(AC)*Cos 30° = 0.01 in

⇒  ΔL = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAB*Cos 30°+(2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAC*Cos 30°= 0.01 in

Knowing that   PAB*Cos 30°+PAC*Cos 30° = P

we have

(2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*P = 0.01 in

⇒  P = 4745.11 lb = 4.745 kips

Helium gas is compressed from 90 kPa and 30oC to 450 kPa in a reversible, adiabatic process. Determine the final temperature and
ra1l [238]

Answer:

T2 ( final temperature ) = 576.9 K

a) 853.4 kJ/kg

b) 1422.3 kJ / kg

Explanation:

given data :

pressure ( P1 ) = 90 kPa

Temperature ( T1 ) = 30°c + 273 = 303 k

P2 = 450 kPa

Determine final temperature for an Isentropic  process

T2 = T1 (\frac{p2}{p1} )^{(k-1)/k}  ----------- ( 1 )

T2 = 303 ( \frac{450}{90})^{(1.667- 1)/1.667} =  576.9K

Work done in a piston-cylinder device can be calculated using this formula

w_{in} = c_{v} ( T2 - T1 )    ------- ( 2 )

where : cv = 3.1156 kJ/kg.k  for helium gas

             T2 = 576.9K ,    T1 = 303 K

substitute given values Back to equation 2

w_{in}  = 853.4 kJ/kg

work done in a steady flow compressor can be calculated using this

w_{in} = c_{p} ( T2 - T1 )

where : cp ( constant pressure of helium gas )  = 5.1926 kJ/kg.K

             T2 = 576.9 k , T1 = 303 K

substitute values back to equation 3

w_{in} = 1422.3 kJ / kg
