Calculate the molar entropy changes of the two gas streams : An ideal gas, Cp = (7/2)R, is heated in a steady-flow heat exchanger from 70°C to 190°C by another stream of the same ideal gas which enters at 320°C. The flow rates of the two streams are the same, and heat losses from the exchanger are negligibl..

What are the power developed and the heat rejected : A Carnot engine receives 250 kJ s-1 of heat from a heat-source reservoir at 525?C and rejects heat to a heat-sink reservoir at 50?C. What are the power developed and the heat rejected?

Liquid isobutane is throttled through a valve : Liquid isobutane is throttled through a valve from an initial state of 360 K and 4000 kPa to a final pressure of 2000 kPa.
