In a power plant based on a simple Rankine cycle, steam enters the turbine at 15 MPa and 900°C. The condenser pressure is 5 kPa. The turbine operates adiabatically and has an isentropic efficiency of 85%, and the pump also operates adiabatically and has an isentropic efficiency of 80%. Determine

1. the work required to pump the water to the boiler in kJ/kg of water flowing, and

2. the enthalpy of the water leaving the pump.

Liquid methanol is fed to a space heater at a rate of 12.0 L/hr and burned with excess air. The product gas is analyzed and the following dry basis mole percentages are determined: CH₃OH: 0.45%, CO₂=9.03%, CO=1.81% (make sure you think about what else needs to be in the product gas).

a) (1 point) Draw and fully label a PFD

b) (2 points) Calculate the fractional conversion of methanol, the percentage excess air fed, and the mole fraction of water in the product gas.

c) (1 point) Suppose the products are released directly into a room. What potential problems do you see and what remedies do you suggest?

• Specific heat of ice: 2.09 J/(g⋅∘C
• Specific heat of liquid water: 4.18 J/(g⋅∘C)
• Enthalpy of fusion: ΔHfus=334J
• Enthalpy of vaporization: ΔHvap=2250 J/g
• How much heat energy, in kilojoules, is required to convert 47.0 g of ice at −−18.0 ∘C∘C to water at 25.0 ∘C?

Methane is burned with 25% excess air in a continuous adiabatic reactor. The methane enters the reactor at 25 C and 1.10 atm at a rate of 550 L/s, and the entering air is at 150 C and 1.1 atm. Combustion in the reactor is complete, and the reactor effluent gas emerges at 1.05 atm.

a) Calculate the temperature and the degrees of superheat of the reactor effluent. (Consider water to be the only condensable species in the effluent).

b) Suppose only 15% excess air is supplied. Without doing any additional calculations, state how the temperature and degrees of superheat of the reactor effluent would be affected [increase, decrease, remain the same, cannot tell without more information] and explain your reasoning. What risk is involved in lowering the percent excess air?

Methanol is synthesized by the gas phase reaction: Stoichiometric amounts of CO and H2 are mixed in an evacuated vessel (i.e. no methanol is present initially), and the reaction is allowed to come to equilibrium. Calculate the equilibrium mole fraction of methanol under the following conditions. The equilibrium temperature and pressure are 365 K and 1 atm, the mixture behaves as an ideal gas and a more accurate description of the temperature dependence of the equilibrium constant is available where T is in K.
