Determine the nature of the following cycle (reversible, irreversible, or impossible): a refrigeration cycle draws heat from a c

old reservoir at 250 K and rejects 950 KJ to a hot reservoir at 300 K while receiving 70 kJ of work to operate. Draw a schematic of the cycle clearly indicating the hot and cold reservoir and the direction of heat and work transfers. (10 pts.)

Answer:

Impossible.

Explanation:

The ideal Coefficient of Performance is:

COP_{i} = \frac{250\,K}{300\,K-250\,K}

COP_{i} = 5

The real Coefficient of Performance is:

COP_{r} = \frac{950\,kJ-70\,kJ}{70\,kJ}

COP_{r} = 12.571

Which leads to an absurds, since the real Coefficient of Performance must be equal to or lesser than ideal Coefficient of Performance. Then, the cycle is impossible, since it violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

Five kilograms of air at 427°C and 600 kPa are contained in a piston–cylinder device. The air expands adiabatically until the pr
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The entropy change of the air is 0.240kJ/kgK

Explanation:

T_{1} =427+273K,T_{1} =700K\\P_{1} =600kPa\\P_{2} =100kPa

T_{2}  is unknown

we can apply the following expression to find T_{2}

-w_{out} =mc_{v} (T_{2} -T_{1} )

T_{2} =T_{1} -\frac{w_{out } }{mc_{v} }

now substitute

T_{2} =700K-\frac{600kJ}{5kg*0.718kJ/kgK} \\T_{2}=533K

To find entropy change of the air we can apply the ideal gas relationship

Δs_{air}=c_{p} ln\frac{T_{2} }{T_{1} } -Rln\frac{P_{2} }{P_{1} }

Δs_{air} =1.005*ln(\frac{533}{700})-0.287* in(\frac{100}{600} )

Δs_{air} =0.240kJ/kgK
