Estimation of Final Temperature After Throttling Process

The document provides data and equations to calculate the enthalpy change and outlet temperature during a throttling process of n-butane gas. It gives the flow rate, inlet pressure and temperature, outlet pressure, and fluid properties. It then uses the Lee-Kesler generalized correlation and concept of negligible kinetic and potential energy to derive an equation relating the reduced inlet enthalpy to the outlet temperature. Plugging in the property values, it calculates the reduced inlet enthalpy and outlet temperature.

Assumption:

- Kinetic and potential energy are negligible

Data
Fluid n-Butane
Flow rate mol/s 25
P1 bar 15
T1 K 450
P2 bar 1
T0 K 298.15
R J/(mol.K) 8.314
Tc K 425.1

ω 0.2 Accentric factor

Solution
Use Lee-Kesler generalized correlation for the reduced enthalpy estimations in a throttling process.
The reduced properties lead to enthalpies

𝐻_2=𝐻_(0,𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑙) ∫24_(𝑇_1)^(𝑇_2)▒ 〖𝐶 _𝑝 𝑑𝑇+𝐻_2^𝑅 〗 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐻 _1=𝐻_(0,𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑙) ∫_(𝑇_0)^(𝑇_1)▒ 〖𝐶 _𝑝 𝑑𝑇+𝐻_1^𝑅 〗


Equation 1

Cp,av : average heat capacity between T1 and T2


T1 : initial temparature
T2 : final temperature

By using the throttling property of ΔH = 0 and Equation 1, we get

∆𝐻=0=𝐶_(𝑝,𝑎𝑣) (𝑇_2−𝑇_1 ) Equation 2


+𝐻_2^𝑅−𝐻_1^𝑅
At outlet condition, the n-butane gas is ideal, and Hence H 2R = 0, therefore Equation 2 becomes

𝑇_2=(𝐻_1^𝑅)/𝐶_(𝑝,𝑎𝑣) 〖 +𝑇 〗 _1 Equation 3

Reduced properties and heat capacity:

𝑇_𝑟=𝑇_1/𝑇_𝑐 𝑃_𝑟=𝑃_1/𝑇_𝑐 𝐶_𝑝=𝑅(1.935+0.00369𝑇) Equation 4

Tr 1.06
Pr 0.40

Using the generalized equation, we have

𝐻_1^𝑅=𝑅𝑇_𝑐 𝑃_𝑟 [𝐵^0−𝑇_𝑟 (𝑑𝐵^0)/(𝑑𝑇_𝑟 )+ω (𝐵^1−𝑇_𝑟 〖𝑑𝐵〗 ^1/ 〖𝑑𝑇〗 _𝑟 )]


𝐻_1^𝑅=𝑅𝑇_𝑐 𝑃_𝑟 [𝐵^0−𝑇_𝑟 (𝑑𝐵^0)/(𝑑𝑇_𝑟 )+ω (𝐵^1−𝑇_𝑟 〖𝑑𝐵〗 ^1/ 〖𝑑𝑇〗 _𝑟 )] Equation 5

where

𝐵^0=0.083−0.422/(𝑇_𝑟^1.6 ) and 𝐵^1=0.139−0.172/(𝑇_𝑟^4.2
