Answer:

a. 2.08, b. 1110 kJ/min

Explanation:

The power consumption and the cooling rate of an air conditioner are given. The COP or Coefficient of Performance and the rate of heat rejection are to be determined. <u>Assume that the air conditioner operates steadily.</u>

a. The coefficient of performance of the air conditioner (refrigerator) is determined from its definition, which is

COP(r) = Q(L)/W(net in), where Q(L) is the rate of heat removed and W(net in) is the work done to remove said heat

COP(r) = (750 kJ/min/6 kW) x (1 kW/60kJ/min) = 2.08

The COP of this air conditioner is 2.08.

b. The rate of heat discharged to the outside air is determined from the energy balance.

Q(H) = Q(L) + W(net in)

Q(H) = 750 kJ/min + 6 x 60 kJ/min = 1110 kJ/min

The rate of heat transfer to the outside air is 1110 kJ for every minute.

Darya [45]

Answer:

T2= 406k

Explanation:

The temperature can be defined as the measurement of the intensity of the heat present in the object. Fahrenheit, kelvin and centigrade are the common scale used for measuring Temperature.

Given:

T1=170C

To convert to Kelvin

= 17+273 =290K

T1 = 290K

Pressure (P)= 95KPa

Specific heat ratio = CP/CV= K

WhereK=1.005/0.718

K = 1.4

The final temperature can be calculated using the formula below.

T2 = CP/CV × T1

=. K × T1

T2 = 1.4 × 290

T2= 406k

Answer:A

Explanation:

Damp roof is generally applied at basement level which restrict the movement of moisture through walls and floors. Therefore it could be inside or the outside basement walls.
