Two liquid streams are flowing at constant rates into a blender. One is benzene, which flows at a measured rate of 20.0L/min, and the other is toluene. The blended mixture enters a storage tank (inner diameter = 5.5m) equipped with a sight gauge. During an interval in which no liquid leaves the storage tank, the liquid level in the tank is observed to increase by 0.15 meters over a one-hour period. Calculate the flow rate of toluene into the blender (L/min) and the composition of the tank contents (wt% benzene).

1. Your company wants to buy a compressor that will operate adiabatically to compress 2 kg/s of saturated R-134a vapor at -15°C to a pressure of 1000 kPa. What is the minimum work (in kW) required? Use the right sign convention for work. Hint: The minimum work is that of the reversible process. Start by simplifying the entropy balance!
Answer: -75.92KW
2. Consider the same situation as problem 1. Your company wants to buy a compressor that will operate adiabatically to compress 2 kg/s of saturated R-134a vapor at -15°C to a pressure of 1000 kPa. What is the minimum outlet temperature (in°C) required? Hint: just like before, the minimum outlet temperature occurs when the process is reversible.
answer: 47 C
3. Consider the compressor from problems 1 and 2. You would like the effluent of the compressor to be saturated vapor at 1000 kPa. Calculate what would be the rate of entropy generation (in kW/K) if the compressor is adiabatic.

One mole of an ideal gas (CP/R=7/2), is compressed in a steady-flow compressor from 2.5 bar and 25°C to 6.5 bar and 120°C. The compressor rejects 0.5 kJ as heat to the surrounding at 293K.
Calculate:
1. The enthalpy change of the gas (in kJ)
2. The entropy change of the gas (in J.mol-1)
3. The work required for the compression (in kJ)
4. The ideal work of the process (in kJ)
5. The thermodynamic efficiency
The lost work (in kJ)
