CHEN 3347 Final Exam May 19, 2010 Please start each question on its own sheet of paper.

. Put your cell phone on top of the desk turned off. (If you need to have it on for a particular reason, lets negotiate this.) Yes, neatness counts. 1. Three different ways were presented in class to determine the enthalpy change for an isobaric (constant pressure) temperature change. Consider the process of heating steam from 100 C to 650 C at 100 kPa pressure. 5 Points each a. Calculate H for the process in kJ/kg using constant CP from Table C.1. b. Calculate H for the process in kJ/kg using CP as a function of temperature from Table C.1. c. Calculate H for the process in kJ/kg using the steam tables. 2. Using the steam tables, calculate the compressibility, Z, for steam at 340 C and 11,400 kPa. 5 Points 3. In a late night bull session about the oil leak in the Gulf some questions come up. You make these assumptions to answer them: The oil emerges at 200 C. The 200 C oil mixes and equilibrates thermally with 5 C water. The pressure at that depth is so high the water does not boil. In fact, you assume no phase change at all. No oil dissolves in the water; no water dissolves in the oil. Each kg of oil mixes and equilibrates with 50 kg of water. The heat capacities of water and oil are 4180 J/kg K and 2500 J/kg K, respectively. For the above assumptions: 6 points each a. What is the final temperature of the oil/water mixture? b. What is the entropy change of 50 kg of water in J/K? c. What is the entropy change of 1 kg of oil in J/k? 4. Nitrogen, an ideal gas under these conditions, is adiabatically and reversibly compressed from P1 = 100 kPa and T1 = 200 C to P2 = 500 kPa. To answer the questions below, you may use constant CP from Table C.1. a. What is T2? 7 Points b. What is the enthalpy change in J/mol of the nitrogen? 7 Points c. How much work in J/mol is done on the nitrogen? 7 Points d. What is the entropy change in J/mol K of the nitrogen? 5 Points

DO ONE OF THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS. IF YOU WORK MORE THAN ONE, ILL GRADE THE FIRST ONE I SEE.
5. Steam enters the turbine below at P1 = 6,000 kPa and T1 = 425 C. Steam exits the turbine at P2 = 10 kPa.: 4 Points each a. If the turbine is ideal 1 i. What is S1 in kJ/kg K? ii. What is H1 in kJ/kg? W T iii. What is S2 in kJ/kg K? iv. What is T2 in K? v. What is H2 in kJ/kg? vi. What is WT in kJ/kg? b. If the turbine is 75% efficient: i. What is WT in kJ/kg? ii. What is H2 in kJ/kg? 2 iii. What is T2 in K? iv. What is S2 in kJ/kg K?

6. Use any reasonable first guess for Z to make ONE iteration of the Redlich/Kwong equation to calcualate Z for steam at 340 C and 11,400 kPa. Yes, the answer to question 2 above might be a really good first guess, but you can use anything reasonable. Be sure to clearly let me know what parameters you are using in the unlikely case that you dont get an absolutely right answer and need some partial credit on this one. 36 Points 7. Ethane (C2H6) and air enter an adiabatic burner at 1 atm and 25 C. The flow rate of air is 10% greater than the rate necessary to completely burn the ethane to CO2 and water. You may assume all the ethane reacts and that no CO is formed. Also assume the composition of the incoming air is 21% mole oxygen and 79% mole nitrogen; ignore water, argon, CO2 and other components in the incoming air. a. What is the balanced equation for the combustion? 5 Points b. For each mole of ethane fed: 4 Points each i. How many moles of oxygen must be fed? Remember the 10% excess. ii. How many moles of nitrogen must be fed? iii. How many moles of water are formed? iv. How many moles of CO2 are formed? v. How many moles of oxygen remain unreacted in the exit gas? vi. How many total moles of exit gas are there? vii. What is the composition of the exit gas expressed in mole fraction?

c. What is the equation for the heat capacity of the exit gas? Here I want something in the form of C P = R A + BT + CT 2 + DT 2 . 7 Points d. What is the equation you must solve for T to get the exit temperature of the adiabatic burner? 7 Points
