Chapter 5.5, Problem 185RP

A tank with an internal volume of 1 m3 contains air at 800 kPa and 25°C. A valve on the tank is opened, allowing air to escape, and the pressure inside quickly drops to 150 kPa, at which point the valve is closed.  Assume there is negligible heat transfer from the tank to the air left in the tank.

  1. (a)   Using the approximation he ≈ constant = he,avg = 0.5 (h1 + h2), calculate the mass withdrawn during the process.
  2. (b)   Consider the same process but broken into two parts. That is, consider an intermediate state at P2 = 400 kPa, calculate the mass removed during the process from P1 = 800 kPa to P2 and then the mass removed during the process from P2 to P3 = 150 kPa, using the type of approximation used in part (a), and add the two to get the total mass removed.
  3. (c)   Calculate the mass removed if the variation of he is accounted for.

The mass withdrawn during the process.

Answer to Problem 185RP

The mass withdrawn during the process is 6.618kg.

Explanation of Solution

Write the equation of mass balance.

minme=Δmsystem (I)

Here, the inlet mass is min, the exit mass is me and the change in mass of the system is Δmsystem.

The change in mass of the system for the control volume is expressed as,

Δmsystem=(m2m1)cv

Here, the suffixes 1 and 2 indicates the initial and final states of the system.

Consider the tank as the control volume. Initially the tank is filled with air and the valve is in closed position, further no other mass is allowed to enter the tank. Hence, the inlet mass is neglected i.e. min=0.

Rewrite the Equation (I) as follows.

0me=(m2m1)cvme=m2m1me=m1m2 (II)

Write the formula for initial and final mass of air present in the tank.

m1=P1νRT1 (III)

m2=P2νRT2 (IV)

Here, the mass of air is m, the pressure is P, the volume is ν, the gas constant of is R, the temperature is T, the subscript 1 indicates the initial state, and the subscript 2 indicates the final state.

Write the energy balance equation.

EinEout=ΔEsystem{[Qin+Win+min(h+ke+pe)in][Qe+We+me(h+ke+pe)e]}=[m2(u+ke+pe)2m1(u+ke+pe)1]system (V)

Here, the heat transfer is Q, the work transfer is W, the enthalpy is h, the internal energy is u, the kinetic energy is ke, the potential energy is pe and the change in net energy of the system is ΔEsystem; the suffixes 1 and 2 indicates the inlet and outlet of the system.

When the valve is opened and air starts escape from the tank. Neglect the heat transfer and work done i.e. Win=We=0 and Qin=Qe=0. Also neglect the kinetic and potential energy changes i.e. (Δke=Δpe=0).

The Equation (V) reduced as follows.

0mehe=m2u2m1u1m2u2m1u1+mehe=0 (VI)

The enthalpy and internal energy in terms of temperature and specific heats are expressed as follows.

h=cpTu=cvT

Rewrite the Equation (VI) as follows.

m2cvT2m1cvT1+(m2m1)cpTe=0 (VII)

The temperature of the air while exiting the tank is considered as the average temperature of initial and final temperatures.

Te=T1+T22=(25+273)K+T22=298K+T22=298+T22

Refer Table A-1, “Molar mass, gas constant, and critical-point properties”.

The gas constant (R) of air is 0.287kPa.m3/kgK.

Refer Table A-2b, “Ideal-gas specific heats of various common gases”.

The specific heat at constant pressure (cp) of air corresponding to the ambient temperature is 1.005kJ/kgK and the specific heat at constant volume (cv) is 0.718kJ/kgK.

Conclusion:

Substitute 800kPa for P1, 1m3 for ν, 0.287kPa.m3/kgK for R, and 25°C for T1 in Equation (III).

m1=800kPa(1m3)(0.287kPam3/kgK)(25°C)=800kPa(1m3)(0.287kPam3/kgK)(25+273)=800kPa.m385.526kPam3/kgK=9.3539kg

Substitute 522.6481T2 for m2, 0.718kJ/kgK for cv, 9.354kg for m1, 298K for T1, 1.005kJ/kgK for cp, and 298+T22 for Te in Equation (VII).

[(522.6481T2)(0.718kJ/kgK)T2(9.354kg)(0.718kJ/kgK)298K+(9.354kg522.6481T2)(1.005kJ/kgK)(298+T22)]=0[375.2613kJ2001.4192kJ+(9.354kg522.6481T2)(1.005kJ/kgK)(298+T22)]=0[1626.1579kJ+(9.354kg522.6481T2)(1.005kJ/kgK)(298+T22)]=0(9.354522.6481T2)(1.005)(298+T22)=1626.1579 (VIII)

Use Engineering Equation Solver (EES) or online calculator to solve the Equation (VIII) and obtain the value of T2 and consider the positive root alone.

T2=191.00864K191K

Substitute 150kPa for P2, 1m3 for ν, 0.287kPa.m3/kgK for R, and 191K for T2 in Equation (III).

m2=150kPa(1m3)(0.287kPam3/kgK)(191K)=150kPam354.817kPam3/kg=2.7364kg

Substitute 9.354kg for m1 and 2.7364kg for m2 in Equation (II).

Answer to Problem 185RP

The mass withdrawn during the process is 6.524kg.

Explanation of Solution

Write the general mass balance equation.

m˙inm˙e=ddt(msystem)m˙inm˙e=dmsystemdt (XI)

Here, the inlet mass flow rate is m˙in, the exit mass flow rate is m˙e, and the change in mass of the system is dmsystemdt.

Refer Equation (XI).

Write the mass balance equation for the given system.

m˙inm˙e=dmdt0m˙e=dmdtdmdt=m˙e (XII)

Rewrite the Equation (XII) as follows.

d(PνRT)dt=m˙eνRd(P/T)dt=m˙e

Write the general energy rate balance equation.

E˙inE˙out=ΔE˙system (XIII)

Here, the rate of total energy in is E˙in, the rate of total energy out is E˙out, and the rate of change in net energy of the system is ΔE˙system.

The system is at steady state. Hence, the rate of change in net energy of the system becomes zero.

ΔE˙system=0

Refer Equation (XIII).

Write the energy balance equation for the given system.

d(mu)dt+hem˙e=0d(mu)dt=hem˙e (XIV)

Here, the mass is m, the internal energy is u, and the enthalpy is h

Substitute dmdt for m˙e Equation (XIV).

d(mu)dt=he(dmdt) (XV)

The enthalpy and internal energy is expressed as follows.

h=cpTu=cvT

Substitute cpTe for he and cvT for u in Equation (XV).

d(mcvT)dt=(cpT)(dmdt)cvd(mT)dt=cpT(dmdt) (XVI)

The mass of air in terms ideal gas is expressed as follows.

m=PνRT

Rewrite the Equation (XVI) as follows.

cvd(PνRTT)dt=cpT(dPνRTdt)cvνRdPdt=cpTνRd(P/T)dtcvdPdt=cpTddt(P/T) (XVII)

Using u/v differentiation rule expand ddt(P/T).

ddt(P/T)=T(dP/dt)P(dT/dt)T2=TT2(dPdt)PT2(dTdt)=1T(dPdt)PT2(dTdt)

Substitute 1T(dPdt)PT2(dTdt) for ddt(P/T) in Equation (XVII).

cvdPdt=cpT[1T(dPdt)PT2(dTdt)]cvdPdt=cp[TT(dPdt)TPT2(dTdt)]cvdPdt=cp[(dPdt)PT(dTdt)]cvdPdt=cp(dPdt)cpPT(dTdt)

cp(dPdt)cvdPdt=cpPT(dTdt)(cpcv)dPdt=cpPT(dTdt)(cpcv)dPP=cpdTT(cpcvcp)dPP=dTT

(1cvcp)dPP=dTT

Here, k=cpcv.

(11k)dPP=dTT(k1k)dPP=dTT (XVIII)

Integrate the Equation (XVIII) at the initial-1 and final-2 states.

(k1k)P1P2dPP=T1T2dTT(k1k)[lnP]P1P2=[lnT]T1T2(k1k)[lnP2lnP1]=[lnT2lnT1](k1k)lnP2P1=lnT2T1

ln(P2P1)k1k=lnT2T1(P2P1)k1k=T2T1T2T1=(P2P1)k1k (XIX)

Refer Table A-2(a), “Ideal-gas specific heats of various common gases”.

The specific heat ratio (k) of air is 1.4.

Conclusion:

Substitute 298K for T1, 150kPa for P2, 800kPa for P1, and 1.4 for k

T2298K=(150kPa800kPa)1.411.4T2=298K(0.1875)0.2857T2=184.7151K

Substitute 150kPa for P2, 1m3 for ν, 0.287kPa.m3/kgK for R, and 184.7151K for T2 in Equation (III).

m2=150kPa(1m3)(0.287kPam3/kgK)(184.7151K)=150kPam353.5255kPam3/kg=2.8295kg=2.83kg

Substitute 9.354kg for m1 and 2.83kg for m2 in Equation (II).
