The fins attached to a surface are determined to have an effectiveness of 0.9. Do the rate of heat transfer from the surface dec

Nesterboy [21]

Answer: The rate of heat transfer decreases.

Explanation:

Fin effectiveness is defined as the ratio of heat transfer rate from a finned surface to the heat transfer rate from the same surface if there were no fins. Its value is expected to be greater than 1.

Having effectiveness value of 0.9 which is less than 1 indicates that the heat transfer rate will decrease since a fin effectiveness smaller than 1 shows that the fin acts as insulation (thermal insulation).

Refrigerant 134a enters the evaporator of a refrigeration system operating at steady state at -16oC and a quality of 20% at a ve

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

mass flow rate = 0.0534 kg/sec

velocity at exit = 29.34 m/sec

Explanation:

From the information given:

Inlet:

Temperature $T_1 = -16^0\ C$

Quality $x_1 = 0.2$

Outlet:

Temperature $T_2 = -16^0 C$

Quality $x_2 = 1$

The following data were obtained at saturation properties of R134a at the temperature of -16° C

$v_f= 0.7428 \times 10^{-3} \ m^3/kg \\ \\ v_g = 0.1247 \ m^3 /kg$

$v_1 = v_f + x_1 ( vg - ( v_f)) \\ \\ v_1 = 0.7428 \times 10^{-3} + 0.2 (0.1247 -(0.7428 \times 10^{-3})) \\ \\ v_1 = 0.0255 \ m^3/kg \\ \\ \\ v_2 = v_g = 0.1247 \ m^3/kg$

$m = \rho_1A_1v_1 = \rho_2A_2v_2 \\ \\ m = \dfrac{1}{0.0255} \times \dfrac{\pi}{4}\times (1.7 \times 10^{-2})^2\times 6 \\ \\ \mathbf{m = 0.0534 \ kg/sec}$

$\rho_1A_1v_1 = \rho_2A_2v_2 \\ \\ A_1 =A_2 \\ \\ \rho_1v_1 = \rho_2v_2 \\ \\ \implies \dfrac{1}{0.0255} \times6 = \dfrac{1}{0.1247}\times (v_2)\\ \\ \\\mathbf{\\ v_2 = 29.34 \ m/sec}$

Identify and describe the three stages of a life cycle analysis.

sesenic [268]

The LCA process is a systematic, phased approach and consists of four components: goal definition and scoping, inventory analysis, impact assessment, and interpretation. The standards are provided by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) in ISO 14040 and 14044, and describe the four main phases of an LCA: Goal and scope definition. Inventory analysis. Impact assessment.
