A Carnot heat engine receives heat from a reservoir at 900oC at a rate of 800 kJ/min and rejects the waste heat to the ambient a

ir at 27oC. The entire work output of the heat engine is used to drive a refrigerator that removes heat from the refrigerated space at -5oC and transfers it to the same ambient air at 27oC. Determine (a) the maximum rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space and (b) the total rate of heat rejection to the ambient air.

Answer:

a) \dot Q_{L} = 4987.776\,\frac{kJ}{min}, b) \dot Q = 5787.776\,\frac{kJ}{min}

Explanation:

a) The efficiency of the Carnot heat engine is:

\eta_{th} = \left(1-\frac{T_{L}}{T_{H}} \right)\times 100\,\%

\eta_{th} = \left(1-\frac{300.15\,K}{1173.15\,K} \right)\times 100\,\%

\eta_{th} = 74.415\,\%

The power output used to drive the refrigerator is:

\dot W = (0.744)\cdot \left(800\,\frac{kJ}{min}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{60}\,\frac{min}{s} \right)

\dot W = 9.92\,kW

The coefficient of performance of the refrigerator is:

COP_{R} = \frac{T_{L}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}

COP_{R} = \frac{268.15\,K}{300.15\,K-268.15\,K}

COP_{R} = 8.380

The heat removal from the refrigerated space is:

\dot Q_{L} = \dot W\cdot COP_{R}

\dot Q_{L} = (9.92\,kW)\cdot \left(60\,\frac{s}{min} \right)\cdot (8.380)

\dot Q_{L} = 4987.776\,\frac{kJ}{min}

b) The heat rejected from the Carnot heat engine to the ambient air is:

\dot Q_{L} = (1-0.744)\cdot \left(800\,\frac{kJ}{min} \right)

\dot Q_{L} = 204.8\,\frac{kJ}{min}

Now, the heat rejected from the refrigerator to the ambient air is:

\dot Q_{H} = \dot W + \dot Q_{L}

\dot Q_{H} = (9.92\,kW)\cdot (60\,\frac{s}{min} ) + 4987.776\,\frac{kJ}{min}

\dot Q_{H} = 5582.976\,\frac{kJ}{min}

Finally, the total rate of heat rejection to the ambient air is:

\dot Q = 5582.976\,\frac{kJ}{min} + 204.8\,\frac{kJ}{min}

\dot Q = 5787.776\,\frac{kJ}{min}

A wastewater plant discharges a treated effluent (w) with a flow rate of 1.1 m^3/s, 50 mg/L BOD5 and 2 mg/L DO into a river (s)
4vir4ik [10]

A wastewater plant discharges a treated effluent (w) with a flow rate of 1.1 m^3/s, 50 mg/L BOD5 and 2 mg/L DO into a river (s) with a flow rate of 8.7 m^3/s, 6 mg/L BOD5 and 8.3 mg/L DO. Both streams are at 20°C. After mixing, the river is 3 meters deep and flowing at a velocity of 0.50 m/s. DOsat for this river is 9.0 mg/L. The deoxygenation constant is kd= 0.20 d^-1 and The reaction rate constant k at 20 °C is 0.27 d^-1.

The answer therefore would be the number 0.27 divided by two and then square while getting the square you would make it a binomial.

I wont give the answer but the steps

A cold air standard gas turbine engine with a thermal efficiency of 56.9 % has a minimum pressure of 100 kP
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

a) 5.2 kPa

b) 49.3%

Explanation:

Given data:

Thermal efficiency ( л ) = 56.9% = 0.569

minimum pressure ( P1 ) = 100 kpa

<u>a) Determine the pressure at inlet to expansion process</u>

P2 = ?

r = 1.4

efficiency = 1 - [ 1 / (rp)\frac{r-1}{r} ]

   0.569   = 1 - [ 1 / (rp)^0.4/1.4

1 - 0.569  = 1 / (rp)^0.285

∴ (rp)^0.285 = 0.431

rp = 0.0522

note : rp = P2 / P1

therefore P2 = rp * P1 = 0.0522 * 100 kpa

                                   = 5.2 kPa  

b) Thermal efficiency

Л = 1 - [ 1 / ( 10.9 )^0.285 ]

   = 0.493 = 49.3%
