05 Assignment 5 Mech330 f24

The assignment consists of two problems related to thermodynamics. Problem 1 involves calculating the mass of methane to be added and oxygen to be removed to achieve a specific molar analysis in a gas mixture. Problem 2 requires determining the temperature of an exiting mixture, the rate of entropy production, and the rate of exergy destruction for a control volume mixing air and helium.

MECH330 - Fall 2024
Francesco Ambrogi, PhD

Problem 1
A vessel having a volume of 0.28 m3 contains a mixture at 40 C, 6.9 bar with a molar analysis of
70% O2 , 30% CH4 . Determine the mass of methane that would have to be added and the mass of
oxygen that would have to be removed, each in kg, to obtain a mixture having a molar analysis of
30% O2 , 70% CH4 at the same temperature and pressure.

Problem 2
Air at 50 C, 1 atm and a volumetric flow rate of 60 m3/min enters an insulated control volume
operating at steady state and mixes with helium entering as a separate stream at 120 C, 1 atm
and a volumetric flow rate of 25 m3/min. A single mixed stream exits at 1 atm. Ignoring kinetic
and potential energy e↵ects, determine for the control volume:

1. the temperature of the exiting mixture, in C.

2. the rate of entropy production in kJ/kg/K

3. the rate of exergy destruction in kW for To = 295 K
