Question

Air enters a control volume operating at steady state at 1.2 bar, 300K, and leaves at 12 bar, 440K, witha volumetric flow rate of 1.3 m3/min. The work input to the control volume is 240 kJ per kg of air flowing. Neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the heat transfer rate, in kW.

Answer 1

Answer:

Heat transfer = 2.617 Kw

Explanation:

Given:

T1 = 300 k

T2 = 440 k

h1 = 300.19 KJ/kg

h2 = 441.61 KJ/kg

Density = 1.225 kg/m²

Find:

Mass flow rate = 1.225 x [1.3/60]

Mass flow rate = 0.02654 kg/s

mh1 + mw = mh2 + Q

0.02654(300.19 + 240) = 0.02654(441.61) + Q

Q = 2.617 Kw

Heat transfer = 2.617 Kw
