Problem
1. For the air system in the previous problem, find the increase in air exergy from the inlet to the point of use. How much exergy was lost in the flow after the compressor exit?
2. A geothermal source provides 20 lbm/s of hot water at 80 lbf/in.2, 280 F flowing into a flash evaporator that separates vapor and liquid at 30 lbf/in.2. Find the three fluxes of exergy (inlet and two outlets) and the irreversibility rate.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
