 (20 points) A heat transfer unit is designed to use air

(20 points) A heat transfer unit is designed to use air at 150C to activate an endothermic reaction. For this purpose, a pipe with ambient air at 25C is heated to 150C. The change in specific enthalpy (H) for this process is 3640J/mol. If the outlet air at 150C leaves with a volumetric flow rate of 1.25m3/min and a pressure of 122kPa, what is the heat (Q) required in kW ? How much will it cost if the city of Tallahassee charges 0.03 cents per W? Assume ideal gas behavior and neglect changes in potential and kinetic energy
