Answer

a) $\dot{W}_s=73.06\ kW$ b) $\dot{V_1}=0.209\ m³/s$

Work Step by Step

From tables A-11 to A-13: Inlet ($T_1=-24°C$, sat. vapor): $v_1=0.17398\ m³/kg,\ h_1=235.94\ kJ/kg$ Outlet ($P_2=0.8\ MPa, T_2=60°C$): $h_2=296.82\ kJ/kg$ From the energy balance, with negligible k.e. change: $\dot{W}_s+\dot{m}h_1=\dot{m}h_2$ With $\dot{m}=1.2\ kg/s$ $\dot{W}_s=73.06\ kW$ The volume flowrate is given by: $\dot{V_1}=\dot{m}v_1$ $\dot{V_1}=0.209\ m³/s$
