somebody can help me THERMODYNAMICS *a thermodynamic steady flow system receives 4.56 kg per min of a fluid where p1=137.90 kPa, v1=0.0388m^3/kg, w1=122m/s, and u1=17.16kJ/kg. the fluid leaves the system at a boundary where p2=551.6kPa, v2=0.193m^3/kg, w2=183m/s and u2=52.80 kJ/kg. during passage through the system the fluid receives 3000J/s of heat. determine the work.
enthalpy: h1=u1+p1*v1=17.16+137.9*0.0388=22.51 KJ/Kg h2=u2+p2*v2=52.8+551.6*0.193=159.2588 KJ/Kg
Energy Balance for Open Systems without accumulation \[Q-W+\sum m _{i}(h _{i}+\frac{w _{i}^2}{2}+gz _{i})-\sum m _{e}(h _{e}+\frac{w _{e}^2}{2}+gz _{e})=0\]
Q=3000J/s=3 KJ/s m=4.56 Kg/min=0.076 Kg/s
then \[W=3+0.076(22.51+\frac{122^2}{2000}-159.2588-\frac{183^2}{2000})\]
W is in KJ/s or KW use a calculator to evaluate it
W=-8.099 KJ/s or KW
the answer was given and it was -486.0018KJ/s ...the difficult here is the conversion
let me check it again
my equation for W is rifht or not?
*right
there is a two work flow, given, so i think it is wf1=mp1v1
thats work of flow i think the problem is calculating work of shaft
@miat the answer is given maybe is in KJ/min because my answer*60=answer is given could u plz check the question again
the w1& w2 by the way is velocity
well thats right
W=-8.099 KJ/s or KW is correct but in order to have the final answer used this formula: w=(KE1-KE2)+(Wf1-Wf2)+(V1-V2)+Q
oh yes thats correct
KE=m w^2/2 Wf=mPv V=mu so whats your problem with conversion?
