Question

Air is flowing steadily in an insulated duct. The pressure and specific volume measurements of the air at two station A and B are

Station A Station B
Pressure 100 kPa 98 kPa

Solution

The correct option is A A to B
Assume flow takes places from A to B

SBSA=Cvln(PBPA)+Cpln(VBVA)



=0.718ln(98100)+1.005ln(0.970.81)

=0.0145+0.181

=0.166kJ/kgK

Since ΔS is positive,

Therefore. flow takes place from A lo B.
