As shown in the figure, air with a volumetric flow rate of 14,000 ft/min enters an air-handling unit at 80°F, 1 atm. The air-handling unit delivers air at 45°F, 1 atm to a duct system with three branches consisting of two 26-in.-diameter ducts and one 50-in. duct. The velocity in each 26-in. duct is 13 ft/s. Assume steady state operation and ideal gas behavior for the air. 4+D. - 50 in. -- -- Duct > si 72 = 73 =...
Air modeled as an ideal gas enters a turbine operating at steady state at 1040 K, 278 kPa and exits at 120 kPa. The mass flow rate is 5.5 kg/s, and the power developed is 1200 kW. Stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Assuming k = 1.4, determine: (a) the temperature of the air at the turbine exit, in K. (b) the percent isentropic turbine efficiency.
Air is flowing through a duct that is 48" by 60". The air has a mass flow rate of 415,000 lbm/hour. If the air can be modeled as an Ideal Gas, and is at 70oF and 20 psia, what is its average velocity in the duct? Answer: between 55 and 60 f/s
Water is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle. Steam enters the turbine at 1400 lbf/in.2 and 1000°F. The condenser pressure is 2 lbf/in.2 The net power output of the cycle is 1×10^9 Btu/h. Cooling water experiences a temperature increase from 60°F to 76°F, with negligible pressure drop, as it passes through the condenser. Determine for the cycle: a. the mass flow rate of steam, in lb/h. b. the rate of heat transfer, in Btu/h, to the working fluid...
Problem 1 (20 points) Air at 35°C, 105 kPa, flows in a 100 mm x 150 mm rectangular duct in a heating system. The volumet flow rate is 0.015 m'/s. What is the velocity of the air flowing in the duct and what is the mass flow rat Here, air behaves as an ideal gas (p v R T). Gas constant, R of air is 287 J/kg K
Air, modeled as an ideal gas, is compressed at steady state from 1 bar, 300 K, to 5 bar, 500 K, with 190 kW of power input. Heat transfer occurs at a rate of 25.33 kW from the air to cooling water circulating in a water jacket enclosing the compressor. Neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the mass flow rate of the air, in kg/s.
1.f) Methane gas (CH4) enters a combustion chamber at a rate of 3 kg/sec at a temperature of 25 °C. A 200% theoretical air is supplied at a temperature of 400K. At the middle of methane combustion process (i.e., after 50% of methane gas is burnt), liquid propane (C3H8) at 25°C is injected at a rate that produces neither CO nor O2 in the flue gases. Assume steady state and adiabatic process at 1 atm, calculate the following i. The...

Air stored underground at 500 psia and 200 deg.F is first heated by natural gas combustion to 2,340 deg.F at constant pressure, then expanded in an 89% efficient turbine to atmospheric (14.7 psia) pressure. Part of the work of the turbine is used to compress ambient air at 70 deg.F and 14.7 psia to store it underground with an 85% efficient compressor. The air that is stored underground loses heat to the surroundings. The turbine powers an electric generator that...
