Steam Flow
Steam Flow
insulated nozzle, 25 cm long and with an inlet diameter Nitrogen flows at steady state through a horizontal,
of 5 cm. At the nozzle entrance (state I), the insulated pipe with inside diameter of 38.1 mm. A
temperature and pressure are 598.15 K (325°C) and 700 pressure drops results from flow through a partially
kPa, and the velocity is 30 m/s. At the nozzle exit (state opened valve. Just upstream from the valve the
2), the steam temperature and pressure are 513.15 K pressure is 690kPa, the temperature is 322.15 K (49"C),
(240°C) and 350 kPa. Property values are: and the average velocity is 6.09 m/s. If the pressure just
H1=3112.5kJ /kg downstream from the valve is 138 kPa, what is the
V1=388,61kJ /kg temperature? Assume for nitrogen that PV/ T is
H2=2945.7 kJ /kg constant, Cv = (5/2) R, and Cp = (7/2) R.
V2=667,75 kJ /kg
What is the velocity of the steam at the nozzle exit, and
what is the exit diameter?
The conditions of a gas change in a steady-flow process
from 293.15 K (20°C) and 1000 kPa to 333.15 K (60°C)
and 100 kPa. Devise a reversible non-flow process (any
number of steps) for accomplishing this change of state
and calculate ΔU and ΔH for the process on the basis of
1 mol of gas. Assume for the gas that PV/T is constant,
Cv = (5/2)R, and Cp = (7/2)R.
