Question:
Answer the following questions:
(a) Argon gas enters a heat exchanger at a volumetric flow rate of 4.0 [m3/min], a temperature of 100°C and a pressure of 2 bar. It leaves at 200°C and 1 bar. Compute the heat supplied, in W. You may assume ideal gas behavior.
(b) Isobutane gas enters a heat exchanger at a fl ow rate of 3.0 [m3/min], a temperature of 100°C and a pressure of 1.5 bar. It leaves at 200°C and 1 bar. Compute the heat supplied, in W. You may assume ideal gas behavior.
(c) A stream of argon gas fl owing at 4.0 [m3/min], 100°C and 2 bar is mixed at steady-state with a second stream containing isobutane gas fl owing at 3.0 [m3/min], 100°C and 1.5 bar. The gas mixture exits at 200°C and 1 bar. Compute the heat supplied, in W. You may assume ideal gas behavior.
