Chapter 7, Problem 7.6P

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

If the specific exergy of a gas in a cylinder of an internal combustion engine modeled as air behaving like an ideal gas is 368.91 kJ / kg and the cylinder contains 2450 cm2 of gaseous combustion products. Åt what elevation in meters 3-kg mass does it have to be lifted from zero elevation with respect to the reference environment so that its exergy equals the exergy of the cylinder? Assume gravity as g = 9.81 m /s^2 NOTE: The density of dry air at a pressure of 7 bar and a temperature of 867 ° C is 2.1388 kg / m^3.

Define the Mechanisms of exergy transfer.
