A heater is used to heat 100 SCM of nitrogen in a rigid vessel from 26.85^oC to 126.85^oC. Do energy balance and calculate heat duty Q (kJ) using data from Table A-2a,b,c and A18. State your assumption and explain your results.

Expert Solution

Heat volumetric flow V = 100 SCM

SCM - standard cubic meter

At Standard condition 1 mol having 22.4 L or

1kmol having volume of ideal gas = 22.4 m3

1 m3 having = 1/22.4 kmol

100 m3 having = 100/22.4 kmol = 4.464 kmol

Nitrogen moles n= 4.464 kmol

T1 = 26.85 C = 273 +26.85 = 299.85 K

T2 = 126.85 C = 273 + 126.85 = 399.85 K

Specific heat of Nitrogen,

Cp(kj/kmol.k) = a + bT + cT^2 + dT^3

By table,

a = 28.90

b = -0.1571 *10^-2

c = -0.8081*10^-5

d = -2.8713*10^-9

Change in enthalpy ,

dH = nCpdT

dH = n(a + bT + cT^2 + dT^3)dT

Integrate both sides, from temperature T1 to T2

ΔH = n[ a(T2 - T1) + b/2 * (T2^2 - T1^2) + c/3 * (T2^3 - T1^3) + d/4 * (T2^4 - T1^4)

ΔH = 4.464 kmol*[ 28.90*(399.85 - 299.85) - 0.1571*10^-2/2 *(399.85^2 - 299.85^2) - 0.8081*10^-5/3 *(399.85^3 -299.85^3) - 2.8713*10^-9/4 *(399.85^4 - 299.85^4)]

ΔH =4.464*( 2890 -54.96 -99.58-12.546)

ΔH = 12155 kJ

Heat required for heating in this case,

Q = ΔH = 12155 kJ

A rigid, insulated, empty vessel is to be filled with steam from a steam line at 7 bar and 320°C. Steam flows into the vessel until the pressure in the vessel is 7 bar. At this instant the valve on the charging line is closed. (a) What is the temperature of the steam in the vessel at the instant the valve is closed? (b) What is the final pressure of the steam in the vessel after it has reached mutual stable equilibrium...

Nitrogen gas is contained in a rigid 1-m3 tank, initially at 5 bar, 300 K. Heat transfer to the contents of the tank occurs until the temperature has increased to 400 K. During the process, a pressure-relief valve allows nitrogen to escape, maintaining constant pressure in the tank. Neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, and using the ideal gas model with constant specific heats evaluated at 350 K, determine (a) the mass of nitrogen that escapes, in kg, and (b)...

A 2.00 mol sample of nitrogen dioxide was placed in a 40.0 L vessel. Nitrogen dioxide decomposes according to the equation At a certain temperature, the nitrogen dioxide was 8.6%; that is, for each mol of NO2 before the reaction, (1.000 – 8.6×10-2) mol NO2 remains after dissociation. Calculate the value of KC for this reaction.

A feedwater heater is a device to heat the feedwater before it goes into the boiler. This device receives one stream of saturated vapor at 0.8 MPa and another stream of compressed liquid at 0.8 MPa and 60 oC. These two streams combined to become saturated liquid at 0.8 MPa at the exit of the feedwater heater. The mass flow rate of the compressed liquid is 100 kg/s. Determine a) the mass flow rate of the saturated vapor, b) the...

An immersion heater works by supplying heat at a constant rate Q to a tank of water. At the same time, heat is lost to the surrouding medium at a rate proportional to the temperature difference between the water (assumed the same throughout the tank) and the ambient temperature (this is Newton's law of cooling). These assumptions imply: du/dx = -ku + {Q, when the heater is on... 0, when the heater is off where u(t) is the temperature of...
