B-Tut 5 Sol

This document contains 5 questions regarding energy balance calculations for thermodynamic processes: 1) The first question asks about the type of work done on a gas in a closed system process where the work and heat added are given. 2) The second question involves calculating the enthalpy change for an air cooling process between two temperatures using the heat capacity equation. 3) The third question states that the energy balance for a steady open system process reduces to the difference between the enthalpy out and enthalpy in terms of heat and work. 4) The fourth question provides details of mixing and heating gas streams and asks to calculate heat required using given molar flows and enthalpies. 5

Energy balance

Q1)
a)What type of work is done on the gas?
b)

Ans: Mechanical work

if the work

done on the system is 14800J


Ans: closed system : Q +W =U , isothermal process T is constant U=0
Q +W =Q = -W Q= -14800 J

Q2) Air is cooled in a constant volume process from T1 to T2. Show that H=
T2

cpgas
T1

dt assume that the gas at T1 & T2 in the gas phase

Q3) Show that for a steady state open process the energy balance reduces
to
mout(H out) min(Hin) = Q + W

(you can neglect PE & KE)

Q4) Three hundred L/h of 20 mole% C3H8, 80% n-C4H10 gas mixture at 0oC
and 1.1 atm and 200 L/h of a 40 mole% C3H8-60% n- C4H10 gas mixture at
25C and 1.1 atm are mixed and heated to 227oC at constant pressure.

a) Find n1 , n2, n3
b) Calculate the heat requirement of the process.

Enthalpies of propane and n-butane are listed below. Assume ideal gas
behaviour.

Q5)

Conversion
60%

a) Calculate the enthalpy for the input and the output streams
b) Make degree of freedom analysis
Use the element material balances & the energy balance to find the unknown
stream variables
