A household refrigerator that has a power input of 450 W and a COP of 1.5 is to cool 5 large watermelons, 10 kg each, to 8 C. If

the watermelons are initially at 28 C, determine how long it will take for the refrigerator to cool them.

Answer:

\Delta t = 5866.667\,s\,(97.778\,m)

Explanation:

The specific heat for watermelon above freezing point is 3.96\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}. The heat liberated by the watermelon to cool down to 8°C is:

Q_{cooling} = (5)\cdot (10\,kg)\cdot (3.96\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K} )\cdot (20\,K)

Q_{cooling} = 3960\,kJ

The heat absorbed by the household refrigerator is:

\dot Q_{L} = COP\cdot \dot W_{e}

\dot Q_{L} = 1.5\cdot (0.45\,kW)

\dot Q_{L} = 0.675\,kW

Time needed to cool the watermelons is:

\Delta t = \frac{Q_{cooling}}{\dot Q_{L}}

\Delta t = \frac{3960\,kJ}{0.675\,kW}

\Delta t = 5866.667\,s\,(97.778\,m)

Suppose values is a sorted array of integers. Give pseudocode that describes how a new value can be inserted so that the resulti
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

insert (array[] , value , currentsize , maxsize )

{

   if maxsize <=currentsize

  {

      return -1

  }

  index = currentsize-1

  while (i>=0 && array[index] > value)

  {

      array[index+1]=array[index]

      i=i-1

  }

 

  array[i+1]=value

  return 0

}

Explanation:

1: Check if array is already full, if it's full then no component may be inserted.

2: if array isn't full:

  • Check parts of the array ranging from last position of range towards initial range and determine position of that initial range that is smaller than the worth to be inserted.  
  • Right shift every component of the array once ranging from last position up to the position larger than the position at that smaller range was known.
  • assign new worth to the position that is next to the known position of initial smaller component.
