6. An accumulator has a working pressure range of 135 bar to 210 bar. Assume that the atmospheric pressure is 1 bar. The accumulator must have a working volume of 3.00 liters. Use both adiabatic (k = 1.4) and isothermal (k = 1.0). How large must the accumulator be to accomplish this task? Give your answer in Liters. Assume that the precharge pressure is 100 bar. All pressures listed in the problem, except the atmospheric pressure are gage pressures.

Steam is supplied to a two-stage turbine at 40 bar and 500 °C. In the first stage the steam expands isentropically to 3.0 bar at which pressure 2500 kg/h of steam is extracted for process work. The remainder is reheated to 500 °C and then expanded isentropically to 0.06 bar. The by-product power from the plant is required to be 6000 kW. Assume that the process condensate returns at the saturation temperature to mix adiabatically with the condensate from the condenser. It is required to improve the efficiency by employing regenerative feed heating by taking off the necessary bleed steam at the same point as the process steam. The process steam is not returned to the boiler, but make-up water at 15 °C is supplied. The bleed steam is mixed with the condensate and make-up water at 3.0 bar such that the resultant water is at the saturation temperature corresponding to 3.0 bar. Calculate: (i) the steam supply necessary to meet the same power and process requirements; (ii) the amount of bleed…
The catalogue for a refrigerant 22, four-cylinder, hermetic compressor operating at 29 r/s. a condensing temperature of 40 °C and an evaporating temperature of -4 °C shows a refrigeration capacity of 96.4 kW. At this operating points the motor (whose efficiency is 90 percent) draws 28.9 kW. The bore of the cylinders is 87 mm and the piston stroke is 70 mm. The performance data are based on 8 °C of subcooling of the liquid leaving the condenser. Compute 3.1 the actual volumetric efficiency and 3.2 the compression efficiency.
