Calculate the theoretical power (in Watts) required and the increase in gas temperature with a molar flow rate of 100 kmol/hour from a pressure of 1 bar to 20 bar of nitrogen gas (Mr: 28 g/mol) and methane (Mr: 16 g/mol).
Added by Travis U.
Step 1
First, we need to calculate the mass flow rate of the gas mixture. We can do this by multiplying the molar flow rate by the total molar mass of the gas mixture: Total molar mass = (100 kmol/hour) x [(0.8 x 28 g/mol) + (0.2 x 16 g/mol)] = 2240 g/hour Mass flow Show more…

Find the molar Joule-Thomson coefficient for carbon monoxide (Cp = 29.14 J/Kmol) if isoenthalpic throttling of one mole of the gas from 100.0 atm to 1.0 atm produces a temperature increase of 4.0 °C.

For N2 given that μ = 0.25 K atm-1 and Cp=29.1 JK-1mol-1, 5747 J of energy is required as heat to maintain temperature constant when 10 mol N2 flows through a throttle from 80 atm to a final pressure Pf in an isothermal Joule-Thomson experiment. Calculate Pf.
