Example 4.27. A cylinder contains 0.45 m3 of a gas at 1 105 N/m2 and 80C. The gas
is compressed to a volume of 0.13 m3, the final pressure being 5 105 N/m2.
Determine :
(i) The mass of gas ;
(ii) The value of index n for compression ;
(iii) The increase in internal energy of the gas ;
(iv) The heat received or rejected by the gas during compression.
Take = 1.4, R = 294.2 J/kgC. (P-163, Rajput)
Example 4.31. 0.1 m3 of an ideal gas at 300 K and 1 bar is compressed adiabatically to
8
Example 4.32. 0.15 m3 of an ideal gas at a pressure of 15 bar and 550 K is expanded
isothermally to 4 times the initial volume. It is then cooled to 290 K at constant volume
and then
compressed back polytropically to its initial state.
Calculate the net work done and heat transferred during the cycle. (P-168, Rajput)
Example 4.33. A system consisting of 1 kg of an ideal gas at 5 bar pressure and 0.02
m3
volume executes a cyclic process comprising the following three distinct operations : (i)
Reversible
expansion to 0.08 m3 volume, 1.5 bar pressure, presuming pressure to be a linear
function of
volume (p = a + bV), (ii) Reversible cooling at constant pressure and (iii) Reversible
hyperbolic
compression according to law pV = constant. This brings the gas back to initial
conditions.
(i) Sketch the cycle on p-V diagram.
(ii) Calculate the work done in each process starting whether it is done on or by the
system
and evaluate the net cyclic work and heat transfer. (P-169, Rajput)
Example 4.37 In an air compressor air flows steadily at the rate of 0.5 kg/s through an
air compressor. It enters the compressor at 6 m/s with a pressure of 1 bar and a specific
volume
of 0.85 m3/kg and leaves at 5 m/s with a pressure of 7 bar and a specific volume of 0.16
m3/kg. The
internal energy of the air leaving is 90 kJ/kg greater than that of the air entering. Cooling
water
in a jacket surrounding the cylinder absorbs heat from the air at the rate of 60 kJ/s.
Calculate :
(i) The power required to drive the compressor ;
(ii) The inlet and output pipe cross-sectional areas (P-190, Rajput)
Example 4.41. The working fluid, in a steady flow process flows at a rate of 220 kg/min.
The fluid rejects 100 kJ/s passing through the system. The conditions of the fluid at inlet
and
outlet are given as : C1 = 320 m/s, p1 = 6.0 bar, u1 = 2000 kJ/kg, v1 = 0.36 m3/kg and C2
=
140 m/s, p2 = 1.2 bar, u2 = 1400 kJ/kg, v2 = 1.3 m3/kg. The suffix 1 indicates the
condition at inlet
and 2 indicates at outlet of the system. (P-194, Rajput)
Example 4.43. 12 kg of air per minute is delivered by a centrifugal air compressor. The
inlet and outlet conditions of air are C1 = 12 m/s, p1 = 1 bar, v1 = 0.5 m3/kg and C2 = 90
m/s,
p2 = 8 bar, v2 = 0.14 m3/kg. The increase in enthalpy of air passing through the
compressor is
150 kJ/kg and heat loss to the surroundings is 700 kJ/min.
Find : (i) Motor power required to drive the compressor ;
(ii) Ratio of inlet to outlet pipe diameter.
Assume that inlet and discharge lines are at the same level. (P-196, Rajput)
Example 4.49. During flight, the air speed of a turbojet engine is 250 m/s. Ambient air
temperature is 14C. Gas temperature at outlet of nozzle is 610C. Corresponding
enthalpy
values for air and gas are respectively 250 and 900 kJ/kg. Fuel air ratio is 0.0180.
Chemical
energy of fuel is 45 MJ/kg. Owing to incomplete combustion 6% of chemical energy is not
released
in the reaction. Heat loss from the engine is 21 kJ/kg of air.
Calculate the velocity of the exhaust jet. (P-203, Rajput)
