This problem uses the Peng-Robinson property calculator to evaluate the inlet/outlets of a heatThis problem considers an adiabatic turbine/expander using the Peng/Robinson equation of state.
(a)Using the Peng-Robinson equation of state, calculate the change in enthalpy (Jmol) for a
reversible adiabatic turbine/expander when steam is expanded from a pressure of 8MPa and
temperature of 700K to a pressure of 1MPa. Remember to use the correct sign. Use a reference
state HR=0 for a real fluid in the most stable state of aggregation at 298.15K and 0.1MPa. (Note
that the Peng-Robinson is only semi-quantitative for water, so the results will differ slightly from
steam table calculations.)

exchanger and find the molar flow ratio of stream B to stream A. The stream A consists of water and
is at a pressure of 0.24MPa and it enters at 724K and leaves at 526K. Stream B is nitrogen gas at a
pressure of 1.2MPa and enters at a temperature of 342K and exits at 455K. The reference state is
HR=0 and SR=0 for the real fluid equilibrium state of aggregation at 298.15K,0.1MPa.
Note: One of your specified streams may be water. The Peng-Robinson EOS is not particularly
accurate for water, but if you are assigned water, you are asked here to use the Peng-Robinson EOS
as a learning tool for an approximate calculation.
