Steam enters a turbine at a velocity of 200 m/s. The inlet conditions of the steam are at 4000 kPA and 500°C. The diameter of the inlet pipe is 50 mm. The outlet conditions of the steam are 80 kPa and a quality of 1.0. The diameter of the outlet pipe is 250 mm. Determine the turbine power output in kJ/s assuming the kinetic energy change and potential energy change are both negligible. Calculate the change in kinetic energy to show it is indeed negligible.

Toluene vapors at 1.013 bar, 150°C, are cooled under constant pressure to a final temperature of 22°C. (a) Determine the amount of heat that must be removed (5) (b) How much heat must be removed if the final state is a vapor-liquid mixture that contains 60% vapor by mass. (5) Assume that Cp for vapor phase is a function of temperature, and for liquid toluene Cp is constant (= 155.96 J/(mol K)). The boiling temperature of toluene at 1.013 bar is 110.6°C, and standard heat of vaporization for toluene 38060 J/mol.

Consider the gas phase reversible reaction 2A ↔ B that occurs at atmospheric pressure.
a) If the equilibrium constant Ka = 0.1, what are the equilibrium mole fractions of A and B?
b) Assuming the reaction is elementary, write the rate law using kA and k-A as the forward and reverse rate constants, respectively. What is the equilibrium constant Kc in terms of kA and k-A? Assuming an ideal gas system, write an expression for Ka in terms of kA and k-A. If the temperature is 25oC, what is the value of KC?
c) Assuming the reaction is elementary, and that the forward reaction rate constant kA is 2.4 L/(mol·min), determine the time for the reaction to reach 80% of equilibrium in a constant volume batch reactor. Use the value for KC you obtained in part d to solve the problem.

5)Compare the amount of carbon dioxide released in one year from burning coal to power 10, 65-watt incandescent bulbs with the amount released from powering 10, 13-watt compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs. Assume the bulbs are on four hours per day for 365 days. You will need to determine the kilowatt hours (kWh) used. First, multiply the wattage of the bulbs by the number of light bulbs to determine the total watts used in one hour. Then multiply the result by time in hours to obtain the watt hours. Next, divide the result by 1000 to obtain kilowatt hours. On average, 2.1 pounds of carbon dioxide are released for every kWh of electricity produced.
