A two-stage compression refrigeration system operates with refrigerant-134a between the pressure limits of 1.4 and 0.10 MPa. The

refrigerant leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid and is throttled to a flash chamber operating at 0.4 MPa. The refrigerant leaving the low-pressure compressor at 0.4 MPa is also routed to the flash chamber. The vapor in the flash chamber is then compressed to the condenser pressure by the high-pressure compressor, and the liquid is throttled to the evaporator pressure. Assuming the refrigerant leaves the evaporator as saturated vapor and both compressors are isentropic, determine (a) the fraction of the refrigerant that evaporates as it is throttled to the flash chamber, (b) the rate of heat removed from the refrigerated space for a mass flow rate of 0.25 kg/s through the condenser, and (c) the coefficient of performance.

Answer:

A) q = 0.33

B) Q'_L = 28.565 Kw

C) C.O.P = 2.5

Explanation:

From the table first table i attached, in state 1,at P1 = 0.1MPa, we have;

Specific enthalpy, h1 = 234.46 KJ/Kg

Specific Entropy, s1 = 0.9519 KJ/Kg.k

Now, in state 2, from the second table i attached and by interpolation under the condition s1=s2 at P2 = 0.4MPa,we have;

Specific enthalpy, h2 = 262.74 KJ/Kg

Now, in state 3, from the first table i attached, at P3 = 0.4MPa,we have;

Specific enthalpy, h3 = 255.61 KJ/Kg

Now, in state 5 and 6, from the first table i attached, at P5 = 1.4MPa,we have;

h_f = h5 = h6 = 127.25 KJ/Kg

Now, in state 7 and 8, from the first table i attached, at P7 = 0.4MPa,we have;

h_f = h7 = h8 = 63.92 KJ/Kg

A) The amount of evaporated refrigerant is simply the quality at state 6.

Thus;

q = (h6 - h7)/(h_fg,0.4MPa)

Now,from the third table i attached,

(h_evap,0.4MPa) = h_f,g = 191.62 KJ/Kg

Thus, q = (127.25 - 63.92)/(191.62)

q = 0.33

B) The enthalpy at state 9 is determined from the energy balance of the heat exchanger as;

q = (h9 - h2)/(h3 - h2)

Making h9 the subject, we have;

h9 = qh3 + (1 - q)h2

Thus, plugging in the relevant values to get ;

h9 = 0.33(255.61) + (1 - 0.33)262.74

h9 = 84.35 + 176.04

h9 = 260.39 KJ/Kg

The entropy at this state and value of enthalpy is done by interpolation from the third table i attached at P9 = 0.4 MPa

This gives; s9 = 0.9483 KJ/Kg.k

The enthalpy at state 4 and is done by interpolation from the third table i attached under the condition s4 = s9 and P4 = 1.4MPa.This gives;

h4 = 287.13 KJ/Kg

The rate of heat removal is given by the formula;

Q'_L = m'_b(h1 - h8)

This can be simplified into;

Q'_L = m'_a(1 - q)•(h1 - h8)

Plugging in the relevant values to obtain;

Q'_L = 0.25(1 - 0.33)•(234.46 - 63.92)

Q'_L = (0.25 x 0.67) x 170.54

Q'_L = 28.565 Kw

C) The formula for COP is;

COP = Q'_L/W

This gives;

C.O.P = Q'_L/[m'_a(h4 - h9) + m_b(h2 - h1)]

C.O.P = Q'_L/[m'_a((h4 - h9) + (1 - q) (h2 - h1)]

Plugging in the relevant values to obtain;

C.O.P = 28.565/[0.25((287.13 - 260.39) + (1 - 0.33)(262.74 - 234.46)]

C.O.P = 28.565/(0.25(26.74 + 18.9476)

C.O.P = 28.565/11.4219 = 2.5

You are hitting a nail with a hammer (mass of hammer =1.8lb) the initial velocity of the hammer is 50 mph (73.33 ft/sec). The ti
Archy [21]

Answer:

The nail exerts a force of 573.88 Pounds on the Hammer in positive j direction.

Explanation:

Since we know that the force is the rate at which the momentum of an object changes.

Mathematically \overrightarrow{F}=\frac{\Delta \overrightarrow{p}}{\Delta t}

The momentum of any body is defines as \overrightarrow{p}=mass\times \overrightarrow{v}

In the above problem we see that the moumentum of the hammer is reduced to zero in 0.023 seconds thus the force on the hammer is calculated using the above relations as

\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{m(\overrightarrow{v_{f}}-\overrightarrow{v_{i}})}{\Delta t}

\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{m(0-(-73.33)}{0.23}=\frac{1.8\times 73.33}{0.23}=573.88Pounds

The capacity of a battery is 1800 mAh and its OCV is 3.9 V. a) Two batteries are placed in series. What is the combined battery
Lynna [10]

Answer:

capacity  = 0.555 mAh

capacity  = 3600 mAh

Explanation:

given data

battery = 1800 mAh

OCV = 3.9 V

solution

we get here capacity when it is in series

so here Q = 2C  

capacity  = 2 × ampere × second   ...............1

put here value and we get

and 1 Ah = 3600 C

capacity  = \frac{2}{3600}

capacity  = 0.555 mAh

and

when it is in parallel than capacity will be

capacity = Q1 +Q2   ...............2

capacity  = 1800 + 1800

capacity  = 3600 mAh

Alex

Answer:

<em>Both Tech A and Tech B are correct.</em>

<em>Explanation:</em>

<em>The Hall effect sen sensor are used to control displacements and rotations of various body components  of the vehicles, engine vibrations , and the ignition   system</em>

<em>The  optical-type sensor converts rays of light  into electronic signals. It measures the quantity physically of which the translates to a form that is understandable or readable  by an instrument. An optical sensor is larger part of a  system that integrates light sources, a device for measuring  and the optical sensor, which therefore is usually  connected to an electrical trigger.</em>

Soils with low percolation rates do not need special attention during site engineering. select one: true false
saveliy_v [14]

It is accurate to say that site engineering does not require particular consideration for soils with low percolation rates.

<h3>What are percolation rates?</h3>
  • The rate at which water percolates through the soil is a measure of its ability to absorb and treat effluent, or wastewater that has undergone preliminary treatment in a septic tank.
  • Minutes per inch are used to measure percolation rate (mpi).
  • The process of a liquid gently moving through a filter is called percolation. This is how coffee is typically brewed.
  • The Latin verb percolare, which meaning "to strain through," is the source of the word "percolation." When liquid is strained through a filter, such as when making coffee, percolation occurs.

To learn more about percolation rates, refer to:
