Flow and Pressure Drop of Gases in Packed Bed. Air at 394.3 K flows through a packed bed of cylinders having a diameter of 0.0127 m and length the same as the diameter. The bed void fraction is 0.40 and the length of the packed bed is 3.66 m. The air enters the bed at 2.20 atm abs at the rate of 2.45 kg/m2 · s based on the empty cross section of the bed. Calculate the pressure drop of air in the bed.

Ans: Δp = 0.1547 × 105 Pa

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.

Line joining liquid phase with liquid and solid phase mixture is known as: a) liquidus b) solidus c) tie line d) none of the mentioned
