Question: a ) Oxygen at 2 3 0 K and 2 1 . 2 5 atm has a tabulated specific volume of 3 . 8 7

a) Oxygen at 230 K and 21.25 atm has a tabulated specific volume of 3.87 cm3/g and a specific internal energy of 3450 J/mol. Calculate the specific enthalpy of Oxygen in this state.
b) Air is heated from 25 C to 150 C prior to entering a reactor. The change in specific enthalpy associated with this process is 4250 J/mol. The flow rate of air at the heater outlet is 6.25 m3/min and the air pressure at this point is 122 kPa absolute. Calculate the heat requirement in kW, assuming ideal gas behavior and that kinetic and potential energy changes from the heater inlet to the outlet are negligible.
