EXERGY TRANSFER BY HEAT, WORK, AND MASS

At a pressure of 1 bar, a temperature of 17 °C and a mass flow of 0.3 kg/s, air enters a stable insulated compressor and exits at 3 bar, 147 °C. Determine the power required by the compressor and the exergy destruction in kW. Express the exergy disappearance as a percentage according to the power required by the compressor. Changes in kinetic and potential energy will be neglected. dead state; T0=17 °C, P0=1 bar

7.5 Equal molar amounts of carbon monoxide and neon are maintained at the same temperature and pressure. Which has the greater value for exergy relative to the same reference environment? Assume the ideal gas model with constant c, for each gas. There are no significant effects of motion and gravity.

7.36 At steady state, hot gaseous products of combustion from a gas turbine cool from 3000°F to 250°F as they flow through a pipe. Owing to negligible fluid friction, the flow occurs at nearly constant pressure. Applying the ideal gas model with ₂ = 0.3 Btu/lb/ºR, determine the exergy transfer accompanying heat transfer from the gas, in Btu per lb of gas flowing. Let T. = 80°F and ignore the effects of motion and gravity. -568.43

Four kilograms of a two-phase liquid-vapor mixture of water initially at 300°C and x, = 0.5 undergo the two different processes 7.33 described below. In each case, the mixture is brought from the initial state to a saturated vapor state, while the volume remains constant. For each process, determine the change in exergy of the water, the net amounts of exergy transfer by work and heat, and the amount of exergy destruction, each in kJ. Let To = 300 K, Po =1 bar, and ignore the effects of motion and gravity. Comment on the difference between the exergy destruction values. a. The process is brought about adiabatically by stirring the mixture with a paddle wheel. Answer b. The process is brought about by heat transfer from a thermal reservoir at 610 K. The temperature of the water at the location where the heat transfer occurs is 610 K Answer

Exergy of a Flow Stream: Flow (or Stream) Exergy.

A balloon filled with helium at 20°C, 1 bar and a volume of 0.5 m³ is moving with a velocity of 15 m/s at an elevation of 0.5 km relative to an exergy reference environment for which To = 20°C, po = 1 bar. Using the ideal gas model with k = 1.67, determine the specific exergy of the helium, in kJ.

At steady state, an electric pump motor develops power along its output shaft of 0.7 hp whiledrawing 6 amps at 100 V. The outer surface of the motor is at 150°F. Let T = 40°F.Determine: (a) the magnitude of the rate of heat transfer leaving the motor, in Btu/h.(b) the exergy flow with input power, exergy flow with output power, magnitude of exergy flowwith heat transfer leaving the motor, and exergy destruction, all in Btu/h.
