Explanation Express the minimum power required by the compressor. W ˙ rev,in = m ˙ [ h 2 − h 1 − T 0 ( s 2 − s 1 ) ] (I) Here, mass flow rate is m ˙ , initial and final specific enthalpy is h 1 and h 2 respectively, surrounding temperature is T 0 and initial and final specific entropy is s 1 and s 2 respectively. Conclusion: Perform the unit conversion of temperature from ° F to R . T 1 = 60 ° F = ( 60 + 460 ) R = 520 R T 2 = 480 ° F = ( 480 + 460 ) R = 940 R Refer Table A-17E, “ideal gas properties of air ” and write the properties corresponding to initial temperature ( T 1 ) of 520 R as. h 1 = 124.27 Btu / lbm s 1 = 0.59173 Btu / lbm ⋅ R Here, specific enthalpy and entropy at saturated vapor is h g and s g respectively. Refer Table A-17E, “ideal gas properties of air” and write the properties corresponding to initial temperature ( T 1 ) of 940 R as. h 2 = 226.11 Btu / lbm s 2 = 0

Heat Exchangers

Heat exchangers are the types of equipment that are primarily employed to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another, provided that one of the fluids should be at a higher thermal energy content than the other fluid.

Heat Exchanger

The heat exchanger is a combination of two words ''Heat'' and ''Exchanger''. It is a mechanical device that is used to exchange heat energy between two fluids.

A gas mixture with a molar analysis of 40% CH4 (methane) and 60% air enters a control volume operating at steady state at location 1 with a mass flow rate of 5 kg/min, as shown in the figure below. Air enters as a separate stream at 2 and dilutes the mixture. A single stream exits with a mole fraction of methane of 5%. Assume air has a molar analysis of 21% O2 and 79% N2. (CH4, Air) m₁ = = 5 kg/min Air (21% O2, 79% N₂) 3 + (5% CH4, 95% Air)

A. Calculate the cutting time if the length of cut is 24 in., the feed rate is 0.030 ipr, and the cutting speed is 80 fpm. The allowance is 0.5 in and the diameter is 8 in. B. Calculate the metal removal rate for machining at speed of 80 fpm, feed of 0.030 ipr, at a depth of 0.625 in. Use data from the previous problem.

Consider 0.65 kg of N2 at 300 K, 1 bar contained in a rigid tank connected by a valve to another rigid tank holding 0.3 kg of CO2 at 300 K, 1 bar. The valve is opened and gases are allowed to mix, achieving an equilibrium state at 290 K. Determine: (a) the volume of each tank, in m³. (b) the final pressure, in bar. (c) the magnitude of the heat transfer to or from the gases during the process, in kJ. (d) the entropy change of each gas and of the overall system, in kJ/K.
