Wet coal amounting to 10000 ton/day is dried in an air dryer .The wet coal feed enters with 24% by mass of water and exits with 4%.The hot air used to dry the wet coal is fed at 40°C dry‐bulb temperature ,and 16°C wet‐bulb temperature .The moist air exits the dryer with 40% RH at 30°C. Calculate the amount of dry air atm 4/h at STP. Use psychrometric chart
During the expansion process of the ideal Ottocycle, the gas is a mixture whose volumetric composition is25 percent nitrogen, 7 percent oxygen, 28 percent water, and40 percent carbon dioxide. Calculate the thermal efficiency ofthis cycle when the air at the beginning of the compression isat 12 psia and 55°F, the compression ratio is 7, and the maxi-mum cycle temperature is 1600°F. Model the heat-additionand heat-rejection processes using constant gas properties thatare the average of the air and expansion gas properties.
0. Water is boiled at 1 x 105 Pa pressure in a coffee maker equipped with an immersion- type electric heating element. The coffee maker initially contains 1 kg of water. Once boiling started, it is observed that half of the water in the coffee maker evaporated in 18 minutes. If the heat loss from the coffee maker is negligible, the power rating of the heating element is

2) In a well-insulated fixed-volume closed vessel, there is initially 5 kg of saturated liquid-vapour mixture water at 100 kPa pressure. In this state, one quarter of the total mass is in the vapor phase. Then, the electric heater in the container operates and a current of 8 A flows through the heater plugged into a 110 V outlet. How long will it take to evaporate all the liquid in the container? Plot the phase change in the T-v diagram showing the saturation curves.
Moist air at 35 °C dry-bulb temperature and 50% relative humidity enters a cooling coil at 300 m³/min and is processed to final saturation condition at 12 °C. Draw the process on the psychometric chart and find the required cooling load in kW. Assume the enthalpy of the removed water is hw = 42kJ / kg
