The final mass in the tank is to be determined.Assumptions 1 At specified conditions, argon can be treated as an ideal gas. 2 Theprocess is given to be reversible and adiabatic, and thus isentropic. Therefore, isentropicrelations of ideal gases apply.Properties The specific heat ratio of argon is k = 1.667 (Table A-2).Analysis From the ideal gas isentropic relations,

7-99 Nitrogen is compressed in an adiabatic compressor. The minimum work input is tobe determined.Assumptions 1 This is a steady-flow process since there is no change with time. 2 Theprocess is adiabatic, and thus there is no heat transfer. 3 Nitrogen is an ideal gas withconstant specific heats.Properties The properties of nitrogen at an anticipated average temperature of 400 K arecp = 1.044 kJ/kg·K and k = 1.397 (Table A-2b).Analysis There is only one inlet and one exit, and thus mmm &&& == 21 . We take thecompressor as the system, which is a control volume since mass crosses the boundary.The energy balance for this steady-flow system can be expressed in the rate form as

7-108C The work associated with steady-flow devices is proportional to the specificvolume of the gas. Cooling a gas during compression will reduce its specific volume, andthus the power consumed by the compressor.
7-109C Cooling the steam as it expands in a turbine will reduce its specific volume, andthus the work output of the turbine. Therefore, this is not a good proposal.
7-118 Liquid water is pumped by a 70-kW pump to a specified pressure at a specifiedlevel. The highest possible mass flow rate of water is to be determined.Assumptions 1 Liquid water is an incompressible substance.2 Kinetic energy changes are negligible, but potential energychanges may be significant. 3 The process is assumed to bereversible since we will determine the limiting case.Properties The specific volume of liquid water is given to bev1 = 0.001 m3/kg.Analysis The highest mass flow rate will be realized whenthe entire process is reversible. Thus it is determined fromthe reversible steady-flow work relation for a liquid,
