1. Liquid methanol is pumped from a storage through a 1-in.ID pipe at a rate of 3.00
gal/min. At what rate is the kinetic energy being transported by the methanol in the
pipe. (Answer should be in SI unit).
Answer:
Check conversion unit table (all units should be converted to SI unit):
1 m = 39.37 in.
1 m3 = 264.17 gal
1 min = 60 s
ID = Inner diameter
= 1-in.
Volume flowrate
= 3.00 gal/min +
A =πr2
Given that, velocity (m/s) = volume flowrate (m3/s) / cross-sectional area (m2)

[ ]
Given that, mass flowrate (kg/s) = [volume flowrate (m3/s)] x [density (kg/m3)]
First determine the density of methanol: (Confirm the substance that you deal with in
the problem, don’t just simply take the density of water!)
Given that from Table B.1, the specific gravity (SG) for methanol is 0.792, thus the
density of methanol is 0.792 g/cm3.

Given that, rate of kinetic energy (J/s) = ½ x [mass flowrate (kg/s)] x [velocity (m/s)]2
̇ [ ] [ ]
̇ = 0.0105 J/s
2. Use the psychrometric chart (given in the Appendix) to estimate (at temperature 30°C
and 20% relative humidity (refer Example 8.4-5 as a guideline):

Solve the energy balance equation (open system): Neglecting kinetic and potential
energy, no shaft work, thus the required heat input:
0 0 0
∆Ḣ + ∆Ek +∆Ep = Q -Ws

Using heat capacity data (Table B.2 in Appendix)
Answer:
∆ĤH2O
Water (400°C, 10 bar, v) Water (150°C, 1 bar, v)
∆Ĥ1 ∆Ĥ2
Water (400°C, 1 bar, v)
∆ĤH2O = ∆Ĥ1 + ∆Ĥ2 Refer to your hypothetical process paths for water.
∆Ĥ1 : Change in P from 10 bar to 1 bar at constant T. Assuming ideal gas, thus ∆Ĥ1
=0 kJ/mol
∆Ĥ2: Change in T from 400°C to 150°C at constant P.
Thus,
∆Ĥ2 ∫
From Table B.2 use equation Form 1 to determine the Cp:
Cp = a + bT + cT2 + dT3
H2O (v): Cp =33.46 x 10-3 + 0.6880 x 10-5T + 0.7604 x 10 -8T2 + (-3.593 x 10-12)T3
So do integrate,
