2. Power plants that burn fossil fuels emit "flue-gas". The gas is at 6 MPa pressure in the power plant turbine, and then expands into the smokestack to 1 bar (100.0 kPa) as it is released to the atmosphere. The amount of energy the plant generates is 50 MJ per 1 m³ of gas that comes out of the smokestack and note that a typical power plant produces 1 GJ per second. a. Assuming that the flue-gas is at room temperature (25 °C) and behaves like a perfect gas, can you calculate n, Aq, Aw, and AU for the amount of gas that expands in the smokestack of a typical power plant in 1 second reversibly. b. And repeat the above irreversibly. You can still assume that the flue-gas behaves like a perfect gas.

Question:
2. Power plants that burn fossil fuels emit "flue-gas". The gas is at 6 MPa pressure in the power
plant turbine, and then expands into the smokestack to 1 bar (100.0 kPa) as it is released to the
atmosphere. The amount of energy the plant generates is 50 MJ per 1 m³ of gas that comes out of
the smokestack and note that a typical power plant produces 1 GJ per second.
a. Assuming that the flue-gas is at room temperature (25 °C) and behaves like a perfect gas, can
you calculate n, Aq, Aw, and AU for the amount of gas that expands in the smokestack of a typical
power plant in 1 second reversibly.
b. And repeat the above irreversibly. You can still assume that the flue-gas behaves like a perfect
gas.
Hint: you know how much gas is released at the end of the process since you know T, P, and V.
