Question 100

Open question
XE-ENAT2 marksNeeds review
A piston-cylinder arrangement contains an ideal gas mixture of 4 kg of hydrogen and 13 kg of nitrogen at 250 K and atmospheric pressure. On heat addition, the mixture expands at constant pressure until the temperature rises to 350 K. The average isobaric specific heats (

) for hydrogen and nitrogen are 14.239 kJ/kg-K and 1.040 kJ/kg-K, respectively. The amount of heat (in MJ) added to the cylinder is __________________ (rounded off to three decimal places).

Question 102

Open question
XE-ENAT2 marksNeeds review
Air at 101 kPa, 15 °C and 50% relative humidity is first heated to 20 °C in a heating coil, and then humidified by spraying water on it. In the final state, the air has temperature of 25 °C and relative humidity of 85%. The amount of water sprayed (in gm per kg of dry air is _________________ (rounded off to two decimal places).
Use the following data:
The saturation pressure of water at 15 °C = 1.7057 kPa
The saturation pressure of water at 25 °C = 3.1698 kPa
