Answer

a) $\dot{m}=6.36\ lbm/s$ b) $T_2=801°R= 341°F$

Work Step by Step

From table A-17E: Inlet ($T_1=60°F$): $h_1=124.27\ Btu/lbm$ From the material balance: $\dot{m}=\frac{P_1\dot{V}_1}{RT_1}$ Given the values of $P_1=14.7\ psia,\ R=0.3704\ psia.ft³/lbm.°R,\ \dot{V}_1=5000ft³/min $ $\dot{m}=6.36\ lbm/s$ From the energy balance: $\dot{W}_s+\dot{m}h_1=\dot{m}h_2+\dot{Q}$ $\dot{W}_s=\dot{m}(h_2-h_1+q)$ With $\dot{W}_s=700\ hp=494.8\ Btu/s,\ q=10\ Btu/lbm$: $h_2=192.06\ Btu/lbm$ Hence, from table A-17E: $T_2=801°R= 341°F$
