Nitrogen (N2) enters an insulated compressor operating at steady state at 1 bar, 378C with a mass flow rate of 1000 kg/h and exits at 10 bar. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. The nitrogen can be modeled as an ideal gas with k 5 1.391. (a) Determine the minimum theoretical power input required, in kW, and the corresponding exit temperature, in 8C. (b) If the exit temperature is 3978C, determine the power input, in kW, and the isentropic compressor efficiency.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A)

i) 592.2 k

ii) - 80 kw

B)

i) 105.86 kw

ii) 78%

Explanation:

Note : Nitrogen is modelled as an ideal gas hence R - value = 0.287

A) Determine the minimum theoretical power input required  and exit temp

i) Exit temperature :

[tex]\frac{T_{2s} }{T_{1} } = (\frac{P2}{P1} )^{\frac{k-1}{k} }[/tex]

∴ [tex]T_{2s}[/tex]  = ( 37 + 273 ) * [tex](\frac{10}{1} )^{\frac{1.391-1}{1.391} }[/tex]  =  592.2 k

ii) Theoretical power input :

W = [tex]\frac{-n}{n-1} mR(T_{2} - T_{1} )[/tex]

where : n = 1.391 , m = 1000/3600 , T2= 592.2 , T1 = 310 , R = 0.287

W = - 80 kW  ( i.e. power supplied to the system )

B) Determine power input and Isentropic compressor efficiency

Given Temperature = 3978C

i) power input to compressor

W = m* [tex]\frac{1}{M}[/tex] ( h2 - h1 )

h2 = 19685 kJ/ kmol ( value gotten from Nitrogen table at temp = 670k )

h1 = 9014 kj/kmol ( value gotten from Nitrogen table at temp = 310 k )

m = 1000/3600 ,  M = 28

input values into equation above

W = 105.86 kw

ii) compressor efficiency

П = ideal work output / actual work output

   = ( h2s - h1 ) / ( h2 - h1 ) = ( T2s - T1 ) / ( T2 - T1 )

  = ( 592.2 - 310 ) / ( 670 - 310 )

  = 0.784 ≈ 78%

A 0.06-m3 rigid tank initially contains refrigerant- 134a at 0.8 MPa and 100 percent quality. The tank is connected by a valve to a supply line that carries refrigerant- 134a at 1.2 MPa and 36°C. Now the valve is opened, and the refrigerant is allowed to enter the tank. The valve is closed when it is observed that the tank contains saturated liquid at 1.2 MPa. Determine (a) the mass of the refrigerant that has
entered the tank and (b) the amount of heat transfer.

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.50613

b) 22.639 kJ

Explanation:

From table A-11 , we will make use of the properties of Refrigerant R-13a at 24°C

first step : calculate the  volume of R-13a  ( values gotten from table A-11 )

V = m1 * v1 = 5 * 0.0008261 = 0.00413 m^3

next : calculate final specific volume ( v2 )

v2 = V / m2 = 0.00413 / 0.25 ≈ 0.01652 m^3/kg

a) Calculate the mass of refrigerant that entered the tank

v2 = Vf + x2 * Vfg

v2 = Vf +  [ x2 * ( Vg - Vf ) ] ----- ( 1 )

where:  Vf = 0.0008261 m^3/kg, V2 = 0.01652 m^3/kg , Vg = 0.031834 m^3/kg  ( insert values into equation 1 above )

x2 = ( 0.01652 - 0.0008261 ) / 0.031834

     = 0.50613 ( mass of refrigerant that entered tank )

b) Calculate the amount of heat transfer

Final specific internal energy = u2 = Uf + ( x2 + Ufg ) ----- ( 2 )

uf = 84.44 kj/kg , x2 = 0.50613 , Ufg = 158.65 Kj/kg

therefore U2 = 164.737 Kj/kg

The mass balance  ( me ) = m1 - m2 --- ( 3 )

energy balance( Qin ) = ( m2 * u2 ) - ( m1 * u1 ) + ( m1 - m2 ) * he

therefore Qin = 41.184 - 422.2 + 403.655  = 22.639 kJ

Sarah is a site investigator for a large construction firm. She is considering Miguel, a former geology student with experience as an intern at an architecture firm, for an assistant site investigation position. Which of the following is most relevant to her decision?

Answers

Answer: A. whether his geology studies exposed him to principles of geotechnical engineering

Explanation:

The options include:

a. whether his geology studies exposed him to principles of geotechnical engineering

b. the size of the geology program he attended

c. the size of the architecture firm

d. whether the architecture firm was intending to offer Miguel a full-time position

Since Miguel, is a former geology student with experience as an intern at an architecture firm, and Sarah is considering him for an assistant site investigation position, the option that will be relevant for her to make a decision is to know whether his geology studies exposed him to principles of geotechnical engineering.

Geotechnical engineering, is a branch of engineering that makes use of principles of rock mechanics to solve engineering challenges. Since Sarah needs him for an assistant site investigation position, he'll need to investigate souls, rocks and evaluate them.

Suppose we are given three boxes, Box A contains 20 light bulbs, of which 10 are defective, Box B contains 15 light bulbs, of which 7 are defective and Box C contains 10 light bulbs, of which 5 are defective. We select a box at random and then draw a light bulb from that box at random. (a) What is the probability that the bulb is defective? (b) What is the probability that the bulb is good?​

Answers

Answer:

0.49

0.51

Explanation:

Probability that bulb is defective :

Let :

b1 = box 1 ; b2 = box 2 ; b3 = box 3

d = defective

P(defective bulb) = (p(b1) * (d|b1)) + (p(b2) * p(d|b2)) + (p(b3) * p(d|b3))

P(defective bulb) = (1/3 * 10/20) + (1/3 * 7/15) + (1/3 * 5/10))

P(defective bulb) = 10/60 + 7/45 + 5/30

P(defective bulb) = 1/6 + 7/45 + 1/6 = 0.4888

= 0.49

P(bulb is good) = 1 - P(defective bulb) = 1 - 0.49 = 0.51

Explanation:

The Reynold number will be 4.5×10⁷. Reynold's number is found as the ratio of the inertial to the viscous force.

What is density?

Density is defined as the mass per unit volume. It is an important parameter in order to understand the fluid and its properties. Its unit is kg/m³.

The mass and density relation is given as

mass = density × volume

The ratio of inertial to viscous force is known as Reynold's number.

[tex]\rm R_E= \frac{\rho u L}{\mu} \\\\ \rm R_E=\frac{900 \times 10}{0.0002} \\\\ R_E=45000000[/tex]

Hence, the Reynold number will be 4.5×10⁷.
