A car engine with a thermal efficiency of 33% drives the air-conditioner unit (a refrigerator) besides powering the car and othe

r auxiliary equipment. On a hot (35oC) summer day the A/C takes outside air in and cools it to 5oC sending it into a duct using 2 kW of power input and it is assumed to be half as good as a Carnot refrigeration unit. Find the rate of fuel (kW) being burned extra just to drive the A/C unit and its COP. Find the flow rate of cold air the A/C unit can provide.

Answer:

The rate of fuel required to drive the air conditioner Q_h = 6.061 kW

The flow rate of the cold air is  \r m = 0.30765 kg/s

Explanation:

From this question we are told that

    The efficiency is \eta = 33% = 0.33

   Temperature for the hot day is  T_h = 35^oC = 308 K \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (35+273)

        Temperature after cooling is  T_c = 5^oC = 278K

      The input power is  P_{in} = 2kW

The rate of fuel required to drive the air conditioner can be mathematically represented as

              Q_h = \frac{P_{in}}{\eta}

                    = \frac{2}{0.33} = 6.061 kW

From the question the air condition is assumed to be half as a Carnot refrigeration unit

 This can be Mathematically interpreted in terms of COP(coefficient of performance) as

             \beta_{air} = 0.5 \beta

where \beta  denotes COP and is mathematically represented as

                     \beta = \frac{Q_c}{P_{in}}

= >              Q_c = \beta P_{in}

Where Q_c is the rate of flue being burned for cold air to flow

Now if  the COP of a Carnot refrigerator is having this value

                \beta_{Carnot } = \frac{T_c}{T_h - T_c}

                            = \frac{278}{308-278}

                            \beta_{Carnot} = 9.267\\

Then

     \beta_{air} = 0.5 * 9.2667

            = 4.6333

Now substituting the value of \beta to solve for Q_c

                             Q_c = \beta P_{in}

                                  = 4.6333 *2

                                  9.2667kW

The equation for the rate of fuel being burned for the cold air to flow

                       Q_c = \r mc_p \Delta T

Making the flow rate of the cold air

                       \r m = \frac{Q_c}{c_p \Delta T}

                            = \frac{9.2667}{1.004}* (308 - 278)

                            = 0.30765 kg/s

dybincka [34]

Answer:

The code is attached.

Explanation:

I created a string s including 6 colors with spaces in between. Then I converted the string into a list x by using split() method. I used three different methods for removing elements from the list. These methods are remove(), pop() and del.

\\ Then I used methods append(), insert() and extend() for adding elements to the list.

\\ Finally I converted list into a string using join() and adding space in between the elements of the list.

What is a combination circuit? A combination circuit:
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Combination circuit; The basic strategy for the analysis of combination circuits involves using the meaning of equivalent resistance for parallel branches to transform the combination circuit into a series circuit.

Example:

The use of both series and parallel connections within the same circuit. In this case, light bulbs A and B are connected by parallel connections and light bulbs C and D are connected by series connections. This is an example of a combination circuit.
