Consider an ideal Hampson-Linde cycle in which no heat is lost to the environment. Use the data in attached Table to calculate the fraction of nitrogen liquefied on each pass through a Hampson-Linde cycle operating between 1 bar and 100 bars, with an input temperature of 300 K. Assume that the heat exchanger works perfectly, so the temperature of the low pressure gas coming out of it is the same as the temperature of the high-pressure gas going in. Repeat the calculation for an input temperature of 200 K.
Q3. A spark-ignition engine is running on a dynamometer test stand and the following measurements of the exhaust products are made: CO₂ = 12.47%, CO = 0.12%, O₂ = 2.3%, C6H14 (equivalent) = 367 ppm, NO = 76 ppm. All concentrations are by volume on a dry basis. The engine is fueled with isooctane. Determine the emission index of the unburned hydrocarbons expressed as equivalent hexane.

1 Photos , 1/1 12:26 PM O 19% I An air cycle refrigeration plant operates with a centrifugal compressor and an air turbine mounted coaxially such that the power output from the turbine contributes to the power required to drive the compressor. The temperature of the air at the compressor inlet is 15'C and the pressure ratio is 2.5. The air during its passage from the compressor to the turbine passes through an intercooler and enters the turbine at 40°C. The cold space temperature is required to be ma intained at 15°C. Taking the isentropic efficiency of both compressor and turbine to be 84% and the mechanical efficiency of the turbine- compressor drive as 90%, calculate the following: Refrigerating effect Mass flow rate per kilowatt of refrigeration capacity Driving power required per kilowatt of refrigeration capacity. i. ii. ii.

A beer still is being used to separate ethanol from water at 1.0 atm. The saturated liquid feed flow rate is F = 840.0 kmol/h. The feed is 44.0 mol% ethanol. The saturated vapor steam is pure water with ratio of steam flow rate S to feed rate, S/F = 2/3. We desire a bottoms product that is 4.0 mol% ethanol. CMO is valid. Find the mole fraction of ethanol in the distillate vapor, yD,E. Find the number of equilibrium stages required. If the feed is unchanged and the S/F ratio is unchanged, but the number of stages is increased to a very large number, what is the lowest bottoms mole fraction of ethanol that can be obtained?
