PART-C
(1×15=15 Marks)
16.a In a passenger car, a lead storage battery is able to deliver 5.2 MJ of electrical
energy. This energy available is used to start the car. Suppose we wish to use
compressed air for doing an equivalent amount of work in starting the car. The
compressed air is stored at 7 MPa, 25°C.
Calculate the mass of the air and volume of tank required to have the compressed air
having the same availability of 5.2 MJ. Take, 101,325 Pa and 298 K as atmospheric
conditions.
Or 15
b. Atmospheric air at 43°C and 40 % relative humidity is to be conditioned to a
temperature of 25°C and 50 % relative humidity. The method employed is to lower
the temperature to dew point of conditioned air and then to raise it to the required
temperature. The volume of the conditioned air is 25 m3/min.
Find a) Dew point b) Mass of water vapour drained out. c) Amount of heat required 15
to raise the temperature from the dew point to that of conditioned air
