Consider an ideal Hampson-Linde cycle in which no heat is lost to the environment.
(a) Argue that the combination of the throttling valve and the heat exchanger is a constant-enthalpy device, so that the total enthalpy of the fluid coming out of this combination is the same as the enthalpy of the fluid going in.
(b) Let x be the fraction of the fluid that liquefies on each pass through the cycle. Show that
(c) Use the data in Table 4.5 to calculate the fraction of nitrogen liquefied on each pass through a Hampson-Linde cycle operating between 1 bar and 100 bars, with an input temperature of 300 K. Assume that the heat exchanger works perfectly, so that temperature of the low-pressure gas coming out of it is the same as the temperature of the high-pressure gas going in. Repeat the calculation for input temperature of 200 K.
