3. Liquid nitrogen at 90 K, 400 kPa flows into a probe used in a cryogenic survey. In the return line the nitrogen is then at 160 K, 400 kPa. Find the specific heat transfer to the nitrogen. If the return line has a cross-sectional area 100 times larger than that of the inlet line, what is the ratio of the return velocity to the inlet velocity?

Specific heat transfer = 236.16 kJ/kg

Ratio of return velocity to inlet velocity = 0.80

Explanation:

Given

Temperature of liquid nitrogen, T1 = 90 K

Pressure of liquid nitrogen, P1 = 400 kPa

Temperature of nitrogen, T2 = 160 K

Pressure of nitrogen, T2 = 400 kPa

A(e) = 100 A(i)

To solve, we use the formula

h(i)+ 1/2v(i)² + q = h(e) + 1/2v(e)² + q

The mass flow is

m = m(i) = m(e)

m = (Av/V)i = (Av/V)e

Ratio of return velocity to inlet velocity is

v(e) / v(i) = A(i)/A(e) * V(e)/V(i)

v(e) / v(i) = 1/100 * V(e)/V(i)

From the saturated Nitrogen table, at 100 K, we have

h(i) = h(f) = -73.2

v(i) = v(f) = 0.001452

From the saturated Nitrogen table again, at 160 K and 400 kPa

h(e) = 162.96 kJ/kg

v(e) = 0.11647 m³/kg

Substituting these in the formula, we have

v(e) / v(i) = 1/100 * 0.11647/0.001452

v(e) / v(i) = 1/100 * 80.2

v(e) / v(i) = 0.80

Energy equation is given by

q + h(i) = h(e)

q = h(e) - h(i)

Now, calculating specific heat transfer

q = 162.96 - -73.2

q = 236.16 kJ/kg

like poles repel so keep pushing north to north and repels funny to see this

when heated, the valance electrons increased their speed and transferred the heat from electron to electron.   i just took the test.
