Air at 600 kPa and 500 K enters an adiabatic nozzle that has an inlet-to-exit area ratio of 2:1 with a velocity of 120 m/s and leaves with a velocity of 380 m/s. Determine (a) the exit temperature and (b) the exit pressure of the air

Respuesta :

Answer: 436.5k, 330.8 kpa

Explanation:

(A) Temperature

500K = 503.02k h1 ( from table)

P1 = 600kpa

Solution

h2 = h1 -( v2^2 -v1^2) / 2

= 503.02 - ( 380^2 - 120^2) /2 (1kj/kg/1000mls)

= 436.5k

(B) pressure

P2 = (A1 T2 V1) / (A2 T1 V2) X P1

= 2( 436.5k x 120m/s) / 1( 500k x 380m/s) x 600kpa

P2 = 330.8kpa

a) The outlet temperature of the air is 436.832 K.

b) The outlet pressure of the air is 331.076 kilopascals.

Let suppose that the air flowing in the adiabatic nozzle behaves ideally, by mass balance and the equation of state for ideal gases we have an expression for the outlet pressure of the air ([tex]P_{out}[/tex]), in kilopascals:

[tex]P_{out} = \left(\frac{T_{out}}{T_{in}} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{A_{in}}{A_{out}} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{v_{in}}{v_{out}} \right)\cdot P_{in}[/tex] (1)

Where:

  • [tex]T_{in}[/tex], [tex]T_{out}[/tex] - Inlet and outlet temperatures, in Kelvin.
  • [tex]A_{in}[/tex], [tex]A_{out}[/tex] - Inlet and outlet cross areas, in square meters.
  • [tex]v_{in}[/tex], [tex]v_{out}[/tex] - Inlet and outlet velocities, in meters per second.
  • [tex]P_{in}[/tex] - Inlet pressure, in kilopascals.

And by energy balance and definition of enthalpy change for ideal gases we construct the following formula for the outlet temperature ([tex]T_{out}[/tex]), in Kelvin:

[tex]T_{out} = T_{in} - \frac{v_{out}^{2}-v_{in}^{2}}{2\cdot \bar{c}_{p}}[/tex] (2)

If we know that [tex]T_{in} = 500\,K[/tex], [tex]v_{out} = 380\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]v_{in} = 120\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]\bar{c}_{p} = 1029\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot K}[/tex], [tex]\frac{A_{in}}{A_{out}} = 2[/tex] and [tex]P_{in} = 600\,kPa[/tex], then we have the outlet temperature and pressure of the adiabatic nozzle are:

a) Outlet temperature

[tex]T_{out} = 500\,K - \frac{\left(380\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(120\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(1029\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot K} \right)}[/tex]

[tex]T_{out} = 436.832\,K[/tex]

The outlet temperature of the air is 436.832 K.

b) Outlet pressure

[tex]P_{out} = \left(\frac{436.832\,K}{500\,K} \right)\cdot (2)\cdot \left(\frac{120\,\frac{m}{s} }{380\,\frac{m}{s} } \right)[/tex]

[tex]P_{out} = 331.076\,kPa[/tex]

The outlet pressure of the air is 331.076 kilopascals.
