a 1.0 lbm/h stream of argon at 80 of and 1 atm is mixed adiabatically with 0.5 lbm/h co2 at 1 atm and 550 of to produce a mixture at 1 atm. assuming constant specific heats for both gases evaluated at the given inlet temperatures,

Respuesta :

The answer would be 398.40 K and 4.71 * 10^-6 kW/K.

Temp. of Argon stream : 80 F = 299.817 K

Temp of CO2 stream : 550 F = 533.15 K

CO2 mass, flow rate : 0.5 lbm/h = 6.299 * 10^-5 kg/s

Ar,mass, flow rate : 1 lbm / h = 0.000125 kg /s

(a) Particular heat capacity of Ar : 0.523 kJ/Kg.K

Particular heat capacity of CO2 : 0.756 kJ/kg.K

Mass balance expression = mo3 = mo1 + m02 ; mo3 is mass mixture.

Formula to find heat capacity of mixed particle : cpm  mo1*cpa + mo2cpc/mo1 + mo2

= 0.6010 kJ/ kg.K

Formula for energy balance law mo3*cpm*T03 = mo1*cpa*To1 + mo2*cpc*To2

Put the values , and the temperature of the mixture is 398.40 K

(b) Formula for rate of entropy geneartion for process is

del So= mo1*cpa ln(T03 / T01) + mo2*cpc in (T03 / T02)

Put the values and we get del So = 4.71 * 10^-6 kW/K

The given question is incomplete : (a) Final Temperature ?

(b) Rate of entropy generation of the process ?
