Explanation Write the energy rate balance equation for one inlet and one outlet system. [ Q ˙ 1 + W ˙ 1 + m ˙ ( h 1 + V 1 2 2 + g z 1 ) ] − [ Q ˙ 2 + W ˙ 2 + m ˙ ( h 2 + V 2 2 2 + g z 2 ) ] = Δ E ˙ system (I) Here, the rate of heat transfer is Q ˙ , the rate of work transfer is W ˙ , the enthalpy is h and the velocity is V , the gravitational acceleration is g , the elevation from the datum is z and the rate of change in net energy of the system is Δ E ˙ system ; the suffixes 1 and 2 indicates the inlet and outlet of the system. The carbon dioxide flows at steady state through the compressor. Hence, the rate of change in net energy of the system becomes zero. Δ E ˙ system = 0 Since, the compressor is adiabatic, hence neglect the heat transfer rate. And also neglect the kinetic and potential energy changes. The work done is on the system (compressor) and the work done by the system is zero i.e. W ˙ 2 = 0 . The Equations (II) reduced as follows to obtain the work input. [ 0 + W ˙ 1 + m ˙ ( h 1 + 0 + 0 ) ] − [ 0 + 0 + m ˙ ( h 2 + 0 + 0 ) ] = 0 W ˙ 1 + m ˙ h 1 − m ˙ h 2 = 0 W ˙ 1 = m ˙ h 2 − m ˙ h 1 W ˙ 1 = m ˙ ( h 2 − h 1 ) (II) Here, the W ˙ 1 is the power input of the compressor. Write formula for enthalpy departure factor ( Z h ) . Z h = ( h ideal − h ) T , P R T cr (III) Here, the enthalpy at ideal gas state is h ideal , the enthalpy and normal state is h , the gas constant of methane is R , and the critical temperature is T cr ; The subscripts T , P indicates the correspondence of given temperature and pressure. Rearrange the Equation (III) to obtain h . h = h ideal − Z h R T cr (IV) Refer Equation (IV) express as two states of enthalpy difference (initial and final). h 2 − h 1 = ( h 2 − h 1 ) ideal − ( Z h 2 − Z h 1 ) R T cr (V) The change in enthalpy at ideal state is expressed as follow. ( h 2 − h 1 ) ideal = c p ( T 2 − T 1 ) Here, the specific heat is c p , the exit temperature is T 2 and the inlet temperature is T 1 . Substitute c p ( T 2 − T 1 ) for h 2 − h 1 in Equation (V). h 2 − h 1 = c p ( T 2 − T 1 ) − ( Z h 2 − Z h 1 ) R T cr (VI) Refer Table A-1, “Molar mass, gas constant, and critical-point properties”. The critical temperature and pressure of methane gas is as follows. T cr = 191.1 K P cr = 4.64 MPa The reduced pressure ( P R 1 ) and temperature ( T R 1 ) at initial state is expressed as follows

An adiabatic steam turbine operates with a superheated steam inlet at 9200 kPa and 475°C. Its outlet is a wet mixture at 8 kPa. The steam flows at a rate of 50 kg/s. Assuming a turbine efficiency of 0.75, determine the ideal work, the lost work, and the rate of entropy generation. Take Tσ = 300 K. Refer to equations on pp 181-188 of your SVNA - 7th edition.

Air at an initial state of 100 kpa and 17 degree Celsius is compressed to a final state of 600 kpa and 57 degree Celsius. Sketch the T-s diagram and determine the entropy changes of this process using property values from air tables for exact analysis.

Required information NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. A 1.1-m³ rigid tank contains refrigerant-134a initially at 200 kPa and 40 percent quality. Heat is transferred now to the refrigerant from a source at 35°C until the pressure rises to 400 kPa. Determine the entropy change of the refrigerant. Use the tables for R-134a. (You must provide an answer before moving on to the next part.) The entropy change of the refrigerant is kJ/K.
