Question 9.CSGP.168: A jet-ejector pump, shown schematically in Fig. P9.168, is a......

A jet-ejector pump, shown schematically in Fig. P9.168, is a device in which a low-pressure (secondary) fluid is compressed by entrainment in a high-velocity (primary) fluid stream. The compression results from the deceleration in a diffuser. For purposes of analysis this can be considered as equivalent to the turbine-compressor unit shown in Fig. P9.157 with the states 1, 3, and 5 corresponding to those in Fig. P9.168. Consider a steam jet-pump with state 1 as saturated vapor at 35 kPa; state 3 is 300 kPa, 150°C; and the discharge pressure, P_5, is 100 kPa.

a. Calculate the ideal mass flow ratio,  \dot{ m }_1 / \dot{ m }_3.

b. The efficiency of a jet pump is defined as \eta=\left(\dot{ m }_1 / \dot{ m }_3\right)_{\text {actual }} /\left(\dot{ m }_1 / \dot{ m }_3\right)_{\text {ideal }}

for the same inlet conditions and discharge pressure. Determine the discharge temperature of the jet pump if its efficiency is 10%.

a) ideal processes (isen. comp. & exp.)

\left.\begin{array}{cc}\text { expands } 3-4 s \\\text { comp }  1-2 s\end{array}\right\} \text { then mix at const. P }

\begin{aligned}& s _{4 s }= s _3=7.0778=1.3026+ x _{4 s } \times 6.0568 \Rightarrow x _{4 s }=0.9535 \\& h _{4 s }=417.46+0.9535 \times 2258.0=2570.5 \,kJ / kg \\& s _{2 s }= s _1=7.7193 \rightarrow T _{2 s }=174^{\circ} C \quad \& h _{2 s }=2823.8\,kJ / kg \\& \dot{ m }_1\left( h _{2 s }- h _1\right)=\dot{ m }_3\left( h _3- h _{4 s }\right)\end{aligned}

\Rightarrow\left(\dot{ m }_1 / \dot{ m }_3\right)_{ IDEAL }=\frac{2761.0-2570.5}{2823.8-2631.1}= 0 . 9 8 8 6

b) real processes with jet pump eff. = 0.10

\begin{gathered}\Rightarrow\left(\dot{ m }_1 / \dot{ m }_3\right)_{\text {ACTUAL }}=0.10 \times 0.9886=0.09886 \\1 \text { st law } \dot{ m }_1 h _1+\dot{ m }_3 h _3=\left(\dot{ m }_1+\dot{ m }_3\right) h _5 \\0.09886 \times 2631.1+1 \times 2761.0=1.09896 h _5\end{gathered}

State 5: h _5=2749.3 \,kJ / kg , P _5=100 \,kPa \Rightarrow T _5= 1 3 6 . 5 { }^{\circ} C
