Question: A fluid enters a piping system with a specific enthalpy of 1 2 J k g and a volumetric flowrate of 1 2 . 2

A fluid enters a piping system with a specific enthalpy of 12Jkg and a volumetric flowrate of 12.2m3s before reporting to a heat exchanger wherein it gives off 36Jkg of heat to a cold stream that flows counter currently to it. After leaving the heat exchanger it is then compressed by a compressor which imparts 47Jkg of compression work on the stream before it rises 15m and then drops another 8.3m and leaves the system with a specific enthalpy of 8.31Jkg. The fluid leaves the system at 6ms.
1.1 Determine the diameter of the pipe.
1.2 What is the diameter of the pipe if the stream remains level after leaving the compressor?
