Solution
a.) the heat removed from hydrogen and the minimum work input
965. 41147 .7
y= 271 .11147 . 7
y = 0.208
c.) the work input in the compressor per unit mass of liquefied
hydrogen
For an isothermal and reversible work of an ideal gas supplied to the
compressor:
P out
Wrev= nRT ln ( )
P
Since the isothermal efficiency is the ratio of the work required to compress a gas isothermally to
the work actually done by the compressor,
Pout
nRT ln( )
