Question

A fluid has a mass of 5 kg and occupies a volume of 1 m3 at a pressure of 150 kPa. If the internal energy is 25000 kJ/kg, what is the total enthalpy?

Answer 1

Answer:

155 KJ

Explanation:

The total enthalpy is given by

ΔH=ΔU + PV

Where;

ΔH = enthalpy

ΔU = internal energy = 25000 kJ/kg/ 5 kg = 5000 KJ

P = 150 kPa = 150,000 Pa

V =  1 m3

ΔH=  5000 + (150,000 * 1)

ΔH=  155 KJ
