P1.
The above figure shows a problem, which is a modified system as shown in
the Compressed Air Energy Storage PowerPoint. A large tank with volume of
125m3 is available. In this system the tank is not insulated and the
compressed air in the tank loses its energy and reduces its temperature to 293 K
and the pressure at 10 bar . So, a combustor is used to increase the temperature
to 750 K . Calculate the energy of the fuel, mass of the fuel burning natural
gas. (Assuming all the combustion process happens at once and transfers all
the mass from the tank to the combustor, i.e.m1=m3).
Assume heating value of natural gas is 55MJkg of fuel
(Cp=1kJkg*K)
P 1 . The above figure shows a problem, which is
