The mixing process takes place at constant pressure with no work and negligible changes in kinetic and potential energies. Assume the gas has constant specific heats.
- (a) Determine the expression for the final temperature of the mixture in terms of the rate of heat transfer to the mixing chamber and the inlet and exit mass flow rates.
- (b) Obtain an expression for the volume flow rate at the exit of the mixing chamber in terms of the volume flow rates of the two inlet streams and the rate of heat transfer to the mixing chamber.
- (c) For the special case of adiabatic mixing, show that the exit volume flow rate is the sum of the two inlet volume flow rates.
(a)
The expression for the final temperature of the mixture in terms of the rate of the heat transfer to the mixing chamber and the inlet and exit mass flow rate.
Answer to Problem 89P
The expression for the final temperature of the mixture in terms of the rate of the heat transfer to the mixing chamber and the inlet and exit mass flow rate is shown below.
Explanation of Solution
Here, the two streams (comparatively hot and cold) of ideal gases are mixed in a rigid mixing chamber and operates at steady state. Hence, the inlet and exit mass flow rates are equal.
Write the energy rate balance equation for two inlet and one outlet system.
Here, the rate of heat transfer is
The system is at steady state. Hence, the rate of change in net energy of the system becomes zero.
Neglect the heat transfer, work transfer, kinetic and potential energies.
The Equation (II) reduced as follows.
It is given that the mixing chamber receives energy by heat transfer from the surrounding. Then the Equation (III) will become as follows.
The enthalpy is expressed as follows.
Here, the specific heat is
Rewrite the Equation (IV) in terms of specific heat and temperature.
Rearrange the Equation (V) to obtain the exit temperature
Thus, the expression for the final temperature of the mixture in terms of the rate of the heat transfer to the mixing chamber and the inlet and exit mass flow rate is shown below.
(b)
The expression for the volume flow rate at the exit of the mixing chamber in terms of the volume flow rates of the two inlet streams and the rate of heat transfer to the mixing chamber.
Answer to Problem 89P
The expression for the volume flow rate at the exit of the mixing chamber in terms of the volume flow rates of the two inlet streams and the rate of heat transfer to the mixing chamber is shown below.
Explanation of Solution
Write the formula for exit volume flow rate
Here, the mass flow rate is
Refer part (a) answer.
Substitute
Here, the mixing occurs at constant pressure.
Rewrite the Equation (VII) as follows.
From Equation (VIII),
Hence, Substitute
Thus, the expression for the volume flow rate at the exit of the mixing chamber in terms of the volume flow rates of the two inlet streams and the rate of heat transfer to the mixing chamber is shown below.
(c)
To show that the exit volume flow rate is the sum of the two inlet volume flow rates for the adiabatic process.
Answer to Problem 89P
The exit volume flow rate is the sum of the two inlet volume flow rates.
Explanation of Solution
Refer part (b) answer.
The exit volume flow rate is,
When, the mixing process is said to be an adiabatic process, the rate of heat in and out of the system become negligible.
Substitute
Thus, the exit volume flow rate is the sum of the two inlet volume flow rates.
