The pressure, temperature and velocity of air flowing in pipe are 5 bar, 500 K and 50 m/s, respectively. The specific heats of air at a constant pressure and at constant volume are 1.005 kJ/kgK and 0.718 kJ/kgK, respectively. Neglect potential energy. If the pressure and temperature of the surroundings are 1 bar and 300 K, respectively, the available energy in kJ/ kg of the air stream is

Correct Option: B
For flow stream,
A.E. =(h2 – h1) + K.E. – T0 (S2 – S1)
= cp(T2 - T1) + | 1 | V²T0 | cpln | T2 | - R / n | P2 | |||
2 | T1 | p1 |
= 187 kJ/kg
