Question 3: In steam power plants, open feedwater heaters are frequently utilized to heat the feedwater by mixing it with steam bled off the turbine at some intermediate stage. Consider an open feedwater heater that operates at a pressure of 1000 kPa. Feedwater at 50°C and 1000 kPa is to be heated with superheated steam at 200°C and 1000 kPa. In an ideal feedwater heater, the mixture leaves the heater as saturated liquid at the feedwater pressure. Determine the ratio of the mass flow rates of the feedwater and the superheated vapor for this case.

A closed container with constant volume insulated against heat is divided into two compartments by a steel curtain. Achamber contains 2 kg of water at 800 kPa pressure and 80 oC temperature. The other compartment isis empty (vacuum). Then the steel curtain is removed and the water fills the whole container. EndIn the equilibrium state, since the pressure of the water is 10 kPa, the final temperature of the water andCalculate the volume of the tank.
For the equilibrium system: H2O(g) + CO(g) <--> H2(g) + CO2(g). Delta heat of rxn: -42 kJ/mol and Kc=0.62 at 1260 K.0.10 mol each of water, CO, and CO2 (all at 1260 K) are placed in a sealed 1.0-Liter thermally-insulated vessel, which is also at 1260 K. When the system comes to equilibrium, which is true?-The temp & mass of CO would increase.-The temp & mass of CO would decrease.-The temp would remain constant & the mass of CO would increase.-The temp would increase and the mass of CO would decrease.-The temp would decrease and the mass of CO would increase.
Q1) A constant volume tank contain 1 mole ofC7H14and 12 mole of O2 gas at a temperature of 25 °C and 1 bar. The contents of the tank is ignited and C7H14 is burned completely and final products temperature is found to be 1700 K. Determine the heat transfer during this process. ( take daltaHo = -47800 kJ/kg).
One hundred mole NH3/s and 200 mole O2/s at 25 degrees C are fed into a reactor in which the ammonia is completely consumed. The product gas emerges at 300 degreesC. Calculate the rate at which heat must be transferred to or from thereactor, assuming operation at approximately 1 atm. The standard heat ofreaction for the oxidation of ammonia is given below: NH3 (g) + 5O2 (g) → 4NO(g) + 6H2O(v); ΔHr^0= -904.7KJ(ΔHr^0-904.76KJ/s)
Please I need help. Be as detailed as possible. Thank you! An ideal gas is placed in a cylinder with a movable heavy piston. The gas inside the cylinder has an initial pressure of 1.2 x 105 N/m2 , an initial temperature of 280 K, and an initial volume of 1 x 10-3 m3. A stove underneath the cylinder transfer energy to the gas through heating, causing the volume of the gas to increase to 2 x 10-3 m3. Assume that the gas expands isobarically (at constant pressure). 1) Draw a qualitative energy bar chart showing the changes of the energy within the system.
Nitrogen is to be liquefied in a simple Linde process. The feed and recycle are mixed. compressed to 64 bar, and precooled to 135K. The vapor then passes through a heat exchanger for additional cooling before beinng throttled to 1 bar. The unliquefied fraction leaves the seperator at the saturation temperature and passes through the heat exchanger, then exits at 120 K. a. What fraction of the gas is liquefied in the process? b. What is the temperature of the high pressure gas entering the throttle valve?
Meztiza, a beer cocktail, is prepared by mixing rum, beer, and cola. Compute the finalconcentration(%w/v) of ethanol in meztiza if 100.0 mL of beer was first mixed with 5.0 mL rum andbefore finally diluting it with cola to produce 200.0 mL of the beer cocktail. ( a beer contains about 4.50% (v/v) of ethanolfermented by yeast from sugars while rum contains about 40.0% (v/v) ethanol. Meanwhile, arubbing alcohol is also an alcohol solution which contains 70.0 %(v/v) isopropyl alcohol fermentedby a bacterium instead of a yeast)

Liquid nitrogen is stored in 0.5-m3 metal tanks that are thoroughly insulated. Consider the process of filling an evacuated tank, initially at 295 K. It is attached to a line containing liquid nitrogen at its normal boiling point of 77.3 K and at a pressure of several bars. At this condition, its enthalpy is -120.8 kJ kg-1. When a valve in the line is opened, the nitrogen flowing into the tank at first evaporates in the process of cooling the tank. If the tank has a mass of 30 kg and the metal has a specific heat capacity of0.43 kJ kg-1 K-1, what mass of nitrogen must flow into the tank just to cool it to a temperature such that liquid nitrogen begins to accumulate in the tank? Assume that the nitrogen and the tank are always at the same temperature. The properties of saturated nitrogen vapor at several temperatures are given as follows:
