Question 1 part A and B
A. NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answeris submitted, you will be unable to return to this part.
A well-insulated rigid tank contains 5 lbm of a saturatedliquid–vapor mixture of water at 35 psia. Initially, three-quartersof the mass is in the liquid phase. An electric resistance heaterplaced in the tank is turned on and kept on until all the liquid inthe tank is vaporized. Assume the surroundings to be at 75°F and14.7 psia.
Determine the exergy destruction. Use steam tables. (Youmust provide an answer before moving on to the next part.)
The exergy destruction is _______Btu.
B.
Air is compressed by a compressor from 101 kPa and 27°C to 400kPa and 220°C at a rate of 0.25 kg/s. Neglecting the changesin kinetic and potential energies and assuming the surroundings tobe at 25°C, determine the reversible power input for thisprocess. The gas constant of air is R =0.287 kJ/kg·K. Use the table containing the ideal-gas properties ofair.
The reversible power input for this process is__________kW.
