During a reversible process executed by a non-flow system, the pressure increases from 50 psia to 200 psia in accordance with pV = C, and the internal energy increases 21.4 Btu; the initial volume is V1 = 3 ft3. Find the heat. Answer: -17 Btu
It is well known that the power consumed by a compressor can be reduced by cooling the gas during compression. Inspired by this, somebody proposes to cool the liquid as it flows through a pump, in order to reduce the power consumption of the pump. Would you support this proposal? Explain.
Air is compressed in a two-stage, double acting acting compressor which is electrically driven at 165 rpm. The low pressure cylinder (30.5 x 35.5 cm) receives 6.85 m3/min of air at 96.53 kPaa, 43.3 C, and the high-pressure cylinder (20.3 x 35.5-cm) discharges the air at 717.06 kPaa. Piston rods are 5.1 cm in diameter and the isothermal overall efficiency is 74%. Find
