Question

1. What is the minimum energy necessary (in kJ) to compress 1.0 kg of saturated water vapor at 1 bar to a pressure of 60 bar in a perfectly insulated vessel?

Saturated steam at 40 bar is used to run a perfectly insulated turbine. If the exit pressure is 2 bar, what is the state of the exiting fluid assuming no internal irreversibilities?

A perfectly insulated nozzle with an entrance diameter of 2.54 cm has been designed to expand a fluid isentropically. It is desired to expand Refrigerant 22 through the nozzle from a pressure of 10.0 bar and a temperature of 10 deg. C. to a pressure of 1.0 bar. If the input velocity of Refrigerant 22 is to be 0.10 m/s, what must be the diameter of the nozzle outlet to ensure isentropic expansion of the fluid?

700 kJ
