Answer:

(A) COP = 2.64

(B) rate of heat absorption= 1.9637 kW

Explanation:

mass flow rate (m) = 0.018 kg/s

work input (Win) = 1.2kW

inlet pressure (P1) = 800kPa

inlet temperature (T1) = 35 degree Celsius

h1 = 271.24 KJ/Kg

outlet pressure (P2) = 800 kPa

outlet temperature (T2) = ?

entalphy (h2) = 95.48 KJ/Kg

The entalphies are gotten from tables for refrigerant 134a at the temperatures and pressures above

(A) COP = Qh ÷ Win

     where Qh  = m(h1 -h2) from the energy balance equation

     Qh = 0.018 ( 271.24 - 95.48 ) = 3.1637 kW

     COP = 3.1637 ÷ 1.2 = 2.64

(B) rate of heat absorption = Qh - Win

    = 3.1637 - 1.2 = 1.9637 kW

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for relative velocity

= \frac{v_1+v_2}{1+\frac{v_1v_2}{c^2} }

= (.54 + .82 )c/ 1+ \frac{.54 \times.82}{1}

= 1.36 c / 1.4428

= .94 c

β = .94

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Scientists plan to release a space probe that will enter the atmosphere of a gaseous planet. The temperature of the gaseous planet increases linearly with the height of the atmosphere as measured from the top of a visible boundary layer, defined as 0 kilometers in altitude. The instruments on board can withstand a temperature of 601 K. At what altitude will the probe's instruments fail? A. 50 kilometers B. 80 kilometers C. 83 kilometers D. 100 kilometers E. 111 kilometers

Explanation:

A. 50 kilometers

Answer:

I gotchu fam. 0.0435 kg

Explanation:

m1v1+m2v2=m1v1f+m2v2f

(0.5)(23)+(m2)(0)=(0.5)(17)+(m2)(69)

11.5=8.5+69m2

3=69m2
