PROBLEM 1 (50 points)

A barge-mounted mini-OTEC (ocean thermal energy


conversion) power station is designed to produce power by
using the difference in temperature between the warm water
at the sea surface and the cold water at the bottom of the ocean. .
Consider a mini-OTEC power station that runs on an ammonia WT
Rankine-cycle power plant, as shown in the figure. Determine:
.
(a) The power output of the turbine, 𝑊̇! WP
(b) The power input to the pump, 𝑊̇"

Relevant data:
• Stream 2 is saturated vapor at T2 = 20 °C
• Stream 4 is saturated liquid at T3 = 10 °C
• We can assume that P1 = P2, and P3 = P4
• Both the turbine and the pump are adiabatic and have an isentropic efficiency of 𝜂 ! = 𝜂" = (80 + IF)%
#$
• The mass flow rate of ammonia is 𝑚̇ = &1 + %&) kg/s
• All ammonia thermo properties needed to solve this problem are summarized in the tables below

PROBLEM 2 (50 points)

The following data is available for a binary mixture of components (1) and (2) at T = 308.15 K in liquid-
vapor equilibrium:

• Saturation pressures of pure components: 𝑃%'() = 49.624 kPa ; 𝑃*'() = 85.265 kPa

• The following equations are valid to determine the activity coefficients of each component in the
liquid phase:
ln(𝛾% ) = 𝑥** [𝐴%* + 2(𝐴*% − 𝐴%* − 𝐶)𝑥% + 3𝐶𝑥%* ]

ln(𝛾* ) = 𝑥%* [𝐴*% + 2(𝐴%* − 𝐴*% − 𝐶)𝑥* + 3𝐶𝑥** ]

+, +,
With the following parameter values: 𝐴%* = −0.264 − &-&) ; 𝐴*% = −0.421 − &-&) ;
+,
𝐶 = 0.23 + &%&&)

• The liquid phase is in equilibrium with a vapor phase, which can be assumed to be an ideal gas

A system forms an azeotrope if x1 = y1 at any given T and P. Does this system form an azeotrope at T =
308.15 K? If so, what is the composition x1 = y1 of the azeotrope?
