air at 600 kPa, 330 K enters a well-insulated, horizontal pipe having a diameter of 1.2 cm and exits at 120 kPa, 300 K. Applying the ideal gas model for air, determine at steady state (a) the inlet and exit velocities, each in m/s, (b) the mass flow rate, in kg/s, and (c) the rate of entropy production, in kW/K

Respuesta :

Answer:

a) 251.31 m/s and 55.29 m/s

b) The mass flow rate is 0.0396 kg/s

c) The rate of entropy production is 0.0144 kW/K

Explanation:

a) The steady state is:

mi = mo

[tex]\frac{A_{i}V_{i} }{v_{i} } =\frac{A_{o}V_{o} }{v_{o} } \\V_{i} =V_{o}(\frac{v_{i}}{v_{o}} )=V_{o}(\frac{T_{i}P_{o} }{T_{o}P_{i} } )=V_{o}(\frac{330*120}{300*600}) =0.22V_{o}[/tex]

The energy balance is:

[tex]h_{i}+\frac{V_{i}^{2} }{2} =h_{2}+\frac{V_{o}^{2} }{2} \\h_{i}-h_{o}+(\frac{V_{i}^{2}-V_{o}^{2} }{2} )=0\\V_{o}=\sqrt{\frac{2(h_{i}-h_{o})}{0.9516} } =\sqrt{\frac{2*(330.24-300.19)x10^{3} }{0.9516} } =251.31m/s[/tex]

Vi = 0.22 * 251.31 = 55.29 m/s

b) The mass flow rate is:

[tex]m=\frac{A_{o}V_{o}}{v_{o}} =\frac{\pi d^{2}V_{o}P_{o} }{4RT_{o}} =\frac{\pi *(0.012^{2})*251.31*120x10^{3} }{4*287*300} =0.0396kg/s[/tex]

c) The entropy produced is equal to:

[tex]\frac{Q}{T} +S_{gen} =m(s_{2} -s_{1} )\\0+S_{gen} =m(s_{2} -s_{1} )\\S_{gen} =m(s_{2} -s_{1} )\\S_{gen}=0.0396*(c_{p} ln\frac{T_{o}}{T_{i}} -Rln\frac{P_{o}}{P_{i}} )=0.0396*(1.004ln\frac{300}{330} -0.287ln\frac{120}{600} )=0.0144kW/K[/tex]

The inlet velocity, exit velocity, mass flow rate, rate of entropy production are respectively;

a) V₁ = 55.38 m/s and V₂ = 251.73 m/s

b) m' = 0.04 kg/s

c) S_gen = 0.0144 kW/.k

What is Entropy and mass flow rate?

We are given;

Diameter of Pipe; D = 1.2 cm = 0.012 m

Inlet pressure; p₁ = 600 kPa

inlet temperature; T₁ = 330 K

exit pressure; p₂ = 120 kPa = 120000 Pa

exit temperature; T₂ = 300 K

A) Applying the condition at steady rate;

m'₁ = m'₂

Thus;

A₁V₁/v₁ = A₂V₂/v₂

Area of the pipe is the same and so it cancels out to give;

V₁/v₁ = V₂/v₂

We know that v = RT/Pv

Thus;

V₁ = (p₂T₁V₂)/p₁T₂

V₁ = (120 * 330 * V₂)/(600 * 300)

V₁ = 0.22V₂

From energy balance equation;

V₂ = √(2(h₁ - h₂)/V₁)

From ideal gas properties table, we know that;

at T₁ = 330 K, h₁ = 330.34 * 10³ J/kg

Similarly, at T₂ = 300 K, h₂ = 300.19 * 10³ J/kg

Plugging in the relevant values and solving will give us;

V₂ = 251.73 m/s and V₁ = 55.38 m/s

B) The mass flow rate is gotten from;

m' = p₂A₂V₂/RT₂

where A₂ = πd²/4 = π(0.012²)/4 = 0.00045 m²

Thus;

m' = (120000 * 0.00045 * 251.73)/(287 * 300)

m' = 0.04 kg/s

C) The entropy produced is gotten from the formula;

S_gen = m'((c_p * In T₂/T₁) - (R In P₂/P₁))

where;

c_p = 1.004 kj/kg.k

R = 0.287 kJ/kg.k

Thus;

S_gen = 0.04((1.004 * In 300/330) - (0.287 In 120/600))

S_gen = 0.0144 kW/.k
