Ethylene at 350C and 50 bar is passed through an adiabatic expander to obtain work and exits
Question:
Ethylene at 350°C and 50 bar is passed through an adiabatic expander to obtain work and exits at 2 bar. If the expander has an efficiency of 80%, how much work is obtained per mole of ethylene, and what is the final temperature of the ethylene? How does the final temperature compare with what would be expected from a reversible expander?
