12.2 Compression of Carbon Dioxide

Carbon dioxide (CO2) at 1 bar and 300 K enters a compressor operating at steady state and is compressed adiabatically to an exit state of 10 bar and 520 K. The CO2 is modelled as an ideal gas, and the KE and PE effects are negligible. For the compressor, determine

a) Work input [kJ/kg]

b) Rate of entropy production [kJ/kg?K]

c) The isentropic compressor efficiency

d) T-s diagram of isentropic and real process

Carbon dioxide (CO2) at 1 bar, 300 K enters a compressor operating at steady state and is compressed adiabatically to an exit state of 10 bar, 540 K. The CO2 is modeled as an ideal gas, and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. For the compressor, determine: (a) the work input, in kJ per kg of CO2 flowing, (b) the rate of entropy production, in kJ/K per kg of CO2 flowing, and (c) the percent isentropic compressor efficiency.

Nitrogen (N2), at 300 K, 1 bar with a mass flow rate of 1 kg/s enters an insulated mixing chamber and mixes with carbon dioxide (CO2) entering as a separate stream at 500 K, 1 bar with a mass flow rate of 0.5 kg/s. The mixture exits at 1 bar. Assuming ideal gas behavior, for steady-state operation, determine (a) the molar analysis (i.e., the molar flow rate for each gas) of the exiting mixture, (b) the exit mixture temperature, and...

Air enters a compressor operating at steady state at 1.05 bar, 300 K, with a volumetric flow rate of 48 m3/min and exits at 12 bar, 400 K. Heat transfer occurs at a rate of 8 kW from the compressor to its surroundings. Assuming the ideal gas model for air and neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the power input, in kW.

How many GRAMS of carbon are present in 4.00 moles of carbon dioxide, CO2? How many MOLES of oxygen are present in 3.11 grams of carbon dioxide? How many GRAMS of oxygen are present in 9.82×10^22 molecules of tetraphosphorus decaoxide?

The amount of carbon dioxide in a gaseous mixture of CO2 and CO can be determined...

The amount of carbon dioxide in a gaseous mixture of CO2 and CO can be determined by passing the gas into an aqueous solution that contains an excess of Ba(OH)2, The CO2 reacts, yielding a precipitate of BaCO3, but eh CO does not react. This method was used to analyze the equilibrium compostion of the gas obtained when 1.77 g of CO2 reacted with 2.0 g of graphite in a 1.000 L container at 1100 K. The analysis yielded 3.41...

Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, which is primarily dissolved CO2. Dissolved CO2 satisfies the equilibrium equation.The acid dissociation constants listed in most standard reference texts for carbonic acid actually apply to dissolved CO2. For a CO2 partial pressure of 3.2×10–4 bar in the atmosphere, what is the pH of water in equilibrium with the atmosphere? (For carbonic acid Ka1 = 4.46× 10–7 and Ka2 = 4.69× 10–11).
