An inventor claims to have developed a food freezer that at steady state requires a power input of 0.25 kW to extract energy by

heat transfer at a rate of 3000 J/s from freezer contents at 270 K. Investigate this claim for an ambient temperature of 293 K.

Answer:

The claim is false. ( $COP_{real} > COP_{ideal}$ ).

Explanation:

The real coefficient of performance of the food freezer is:

$COP_{real} = \frac{\dot Q_{L}}{\dot W}$

$COP_{real} = \frac{3\,kW}{0.25\,kW}$

$COP_{real} = 12$

The ideal coefficient of performance, that is, when freezer has a reversible process, is:

$COP_{ideal} = \frac{T_{L}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}$

$COP_{ideal} = \frac{270\,K}{293\,K-270\,K}$

$COP_{ideal} = 11.739$

A real freezer has a coefficient of performance lesser than or equal to ideal coefficient of performance. Since supposed real coefficient of performance is greater than ideal coefficient of performance. The claim is proved to be false.

Answer:

1. Industrial revolution was initiated or borne through the production of Steel

2. World War 1 led to the development of Tanks

Explanation:

The production of Steel through the Bessemer Process in the middle of the nineteenth century was a major technological development that spurred the Industrial revolution. This invention led to the widespread use of steel in the production of many things including vehicles and airplanes.

During the First World War in 1914, soldiers found the use of just their armaments in battle as not so productive. This led to the development of Tanks in 1915 that would continue moving towards the enemy even when being shot at.

Air enters a cmpressor at 20 deg C and 80 kPa and exits at 800 kPa and 200 deg C. The power input is 400 kW. Find the heat trans

aksik [14]

Answer:

The heat is transferred is at the rate of 752.33 kW

Solution:

As per the question:

Temperature at inlet, $T_{i} = 20^{\circ}C$ = 273 + 20 = 293 K

Temperature at the outlet, $T_{o} = 200{\circ}C$ = 273 + 200 = 473 K

Pressure at inlet, $P_{i} = 80 kPa = 80\times 10^{3} Pa$

Pressure at outlet, $P_{o} = 800 kPa = 800\times 10^{3} Pa$

Speed at the outlet, $v_{o} = 20 m/s$

Diameter of the tube, $D = 10 cm = 10\times 10^{- 2} m = 0.1 m$

Input power, $P_{i} = 400 kW = 400\times 10^{3} W$

Now,

To calculate the heat transfer, $Q$ , we make use of the steady flow eqn:

$h_{i} + \frac{v_{i}^{2}}{2} + gH + Q = h_{o} + \frac{v_{o}^{2}}{2} + gH' + p_{s}$

where

$h_{i}$ = specific enthalpy at inlet

$h_{o}$ = specific enthalpy at outlet

$v_{i}$ = air speed at inlet

$p_{s}$ = specific power input

H and H' = Elevation of inlet and outlet

Now, if

$v_{i} = 0$ and H = H'

Then the above eqn reduces to:

$h_{i} + gH + Q = h_{o} + \frac{v_{o}^{2}}{2} + gH + p_{s}$

$Q = h_{o} - h_{i} + \frac{v_{o}^{2}}{2} + p_{s}$ (1)

Also,

$p_{s} = \frac{P_{i}}{ mass, m}$

Area of cross-section, A = $\frac{\pi D^{2}}{4} =\frac{\pi 0.1^{2}}{4} = 7.85\times 10^{- 3} m^{2}$

Specific Volume at outlet, $V_{o} = A\times v_{o} = 7.85\times 10^{- 3}\times 20 = 0.157 m^{3}/s$

From the eqn:

$P_{o}V_{o} = mRT_{o}$

$m = \frac{800\times 10^{3}\times 0.157}{287\times 473} = 0.925 kg/s$

Now,

$p_{s} = \frac{400\times 10^{3}}{0.925} = 432.432 kJ/kg$

Also,

$\Delta h = h_{o} - h_{i} = c_{p}\Delta T =c_{p}(T_{o} - T_{i}) = 1.005(200 - 20) = 180.9 kJ/kg$

Now, using these values in eqn (1):

$Q = 180.9 + \frac{20^{2}}{2} + 432.432 = 813.33 kW$

Now, rate of heat transfer, q:

q = mQ = $0.925\times 813.33 = 752.33 kW$
