Carbon dioxide enters an adiabatic compressor at 100 kPa and 300 K at a rate of 0.5 kg/s and leaves at 600 kPa and 450 K. Neglecting kinetic energy changes, determine (a) the volume flow rate of the carbon dioxide at the compressor inlet and (b) the power input to the compressor. Amswers: (a) 0.283 m^3/s, (b) 68.8 kW

(a)

(b)

Explanation:

Hello,

(a) Based on the inlet conditions, we see that such carbon dioxide has an ideal behavior, so the inlet specific volume is:

Thus, the volumetric flow rate turns out:

(b) Now, by writing and energy balance we have:

Thus, since the ideal gas enthalpy does not depend on the pressure, in Cengel's A-20 table, the corresponding enthalpies at 300K and 450 K are 9431kJ/kmol and 15483kJ/kmol whose values in kJ/kg are 214.34 kJ/kg and 351.89 kJ/kg respectively, thus:

Best regards.

chemical energy is stored in the chemical bonds of atoms and molecules. it can only be seen when it is released in a chemical reaction. when chemical energy is released, the substance from which the energy came is often changed into an entirely different substance.

this chemical reaction releases energy in the form of light and heat. chemical energy is the potential energy stored in the arrangement of atoms within molecules. breaking chemical bonds requires energy, while forming new chemical bonds releases energy.

the atp molecule can store energy in the form of a high energy phosphate bond joining the terminal phosphate group to the rest of the molecule. in this form,energy can be stored at one location, then moved from one part of the cell to another, where it can be released to drive other biochemical reactions.

bcde is the incorrect answer it is a
