You want to cool your cryogenics experiment by pumping
pressurized liquid nitrogen through it. What is the power needed
for a reversible pump that pressurizes 20 g/s of liquid nitrogen at
77.3 K from 200 kPa to 1MPa? Make appropriate approximations.
A typical specific heat ratio for the hot combustion gases
entering the turbine of a jet engine is 1.25. For the gas constant,
just use the one for air. Assume that the gases enter the turbine
at 640 kPa and 927C, and exit at the ambient pressure of 100 kPa
at a rate of 2 kg/s. Also assume that the specific heat ratio is
constant going through the turbine, and that the turbine is
adiabatic and reversible. Find the exit temperature, power, and
heat flow. Do not compute any volumes, specific or not, when
solving this question.
A compressor takes in saturated steam (free of water droplets)
at 1000 kPa and compresses it to 17.5 MPa and 650C.
Show the process in both the and diagrams. Also
show the process of the comparable ideal compressor in the
diagrams. Also show and mark the 1000 kPa and 17.5 MPa isobars
and the 650C isotherm in the diagrams.
Find the enthalpy and entropy at 17.5 MPa by averaging between
15MPa and 20 MPa in B.1.3 for the following temperatures:
550C, 600C, and 650C.
Find the isentropic efficiency.
Find the total entropy production.
Air is blown into a well insulated turbine at 1227C and 1
MPa and exits at 100kPa. The isentropic efficiency is 85%. Find
the work produced by the turbine and the total entropy generated.
