Practice Problem in EES

The document provides instructions for completing practice problems in EES (Engineering Equation Solver) involving thermodynamic properties of fluids like water, R134a, and R11 refrigerant. It includes 5 problems: 1) determining enthalpy and entropy of water, 2) adding other fluids like R134a, 3) calculating power required to compress R11 refrigerant, 4) declaring saturated states, and 5) determining power required for an isentropic compression of R12 refrigerant. Students are asked to input the code provided into EES and submit screenshots of the solution windows in a PDF file.

Practice file in EES:

Kindly Redo the following procedures as instructed below. Submit the screenshot of
Solution windows compiled as .pdf file
1. In the EES Equation Window, try to determine the enthalpy and entropy of
water at 1500C and 200kPa
Sample Code:

2. Try to add other type of Fluids. Say R134a and see the new value upon hitting
the ‘solve’ button

3. Sample Problem:
A refrigerant compressor is operating steadily under P 1 = 30kPa, T1 = 50C
and P2 = 300kPa, T2 = 390C with a refrigerant flowrate of 0.5kg/s.
Determine the power requirement of the compressor in kW when
compressing R11 refrigerant.
Solution:
This is a steady state device,
Power = mass flowrate * (h2 – h1) where h is the enthalpy.
EES Code guide:
To call out a mass flow rate: m_dot = 0.5[kg/s]
To call out Enthalpy: see Guide code in the previous example
Remember to designate the individual enthalpy using h_1 and h_2
To determine the Power: m_dot*(h_1-h_2)

4. EES Code to declare that the fluid is saturated.

Point B is saturated with quality x = 0 (liquid)


Point C is saturated with quality x = 1 (vapor)
Point A is in wet region with quality 0 < x < 1 (mixture of saturated liquid and
vapor)

Example:
Find the enthalpy of Saturated vapor R11 refrigerant having a pressure of 30kPa
Solution using EES:

Note: Quality ‘x’ has no unit. Unit declaration can be omitted.


5. Sample Problem:
Determine the required power to compress a 10kg/s of saturated vapor
R12 having a pressure of 10kPa to a pressure of 230kPa. Assume that there
is an isentropic process
Solution procedure:
If this is an isentropic process:
s_1 = s_2
a. Call out the enthalpy, h_1 using the syntax presented above and
integrating the syntax of quality, x
b. Try to call out s_1 using the sample format presented above and
integrating the syntax of quality, x
c. Equate s_1 = s_2
d. Call out the h_2 in terms of pressure and entropy, s_2, you can use the
syntax below:

e. Declare the mass flowrate: m_dot = 10[kg/s]


f. Solve the power = m_dot*(h_2-h_1)
