Example 15.4-1 The Cooling of an Ideal Gas
> restart; Start by inserting lots of data: > MW:=28.8*lbm/lbmol; For air. > T1:=(300+459.67)*R; v1:=100*ft/s; p1:=30*psia; > T2:=459.67*R; dh2:=10*ft; p2:=15*psia; > Cp:=T->(6.39+9.8e-4*T/R-8.18e-8*(T/R)^2)*Btu/(lbmol*R); > Cp(T1);Cp(T2); Checking the two ends of the exchanger. > Jc:=778.16*ft*lbf/Btu; Joule's Constant from Appendix C > w:=200*lbm/hr; The flow rate. > gcun:=32.174*lbm*ft/(lbf*s^2); The gravitational conversion factor used in English units. It makes F=m*a/gc consistent. The symbol gc is reserved in Maple. > g0:=32.174*ft/s^2; The standard acceration of Gravity from Appendix C. > Q:=w*(int(Cp(T),T=T1...T2)/MW+(v2^2-v1^2)/(2*gcun*Jc)+ Phi2-Phi1); Eq. 15.4-3 > Phi2:=Phi1+dh2/Jc; This had better come out with the units: Btu/lbm > Phi2:=Phi1+dh2*g0/(Jc*gcun); This is the correction for that problem. > rho1:=p1*MW/(Rgas*T1); rho2:=p2*MW/(Rgas*T2); One way to get v2. > v2:=rho1*v1/rho2;
> simplify(-Q); BS&L got 14,400 Btu/hr
