Air is cooled from 300 K to 273 K as it flows steadily through a duct. Frictional dissipation may be neglected. Cooling is achieved by removing heat via a heat pump. The work requirement is 1.15 times that of a reversible heat pump operating between 263 and 310 K. For each mole of air flowing through the duct, calculate: Air can be assumed an ideal gas with a constant heat capacity cP of 3.50R. The temperature of the surroundings is...
