Adiabatic Process: Solving Problems with Formulas & Methods

Click For Summary
To solve problems related to adiabatic processes, it is essential to use the appropriate formulas, such as the first law of thermodynamics and the specific heat capacities for gases or liquids. Steam tables are crucial for determining properties like enthalpy and entropy at various temperatures and pressures. In a continuous flow process, the change of enthalpy per unit mass is constrained by the specific heat and the temperature change. Clarification is needed on whether the starting temperature is 600 K or 600 °C, as this significantly impacts calculations. Accurate temperature input is vital for applying the correct equations and obtaining reliable results.

TL;DR
T1= 600K
p1= 200 bar
h=3539 (kJ/kg)
s = 6508 (J/kg.k)
cp = 2781 (J/Kg.K)

steam at 200 bar 600 c flows steadily through an adiabatic throttle with a downstream pressure of 1 bar(state 2).

How do I find the cp, h and `T value for state 2?
Could I have help with what formulas or method that is required in order to solve the problem?

Do you have a set of steam tables? For this continuous flow process, what is the constraint on the change of enthalpy per unit mass? Is the starting temperature 600 K or 600 C?

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
