Answer:

50%

Explanation:

<u>Given information</u>

Cooling load=50 kW

COP=2

Consumption=50 kW

<u>Calculations</u>

Revised input is given by cooling load/COP=50/2=25 kW

Efficiency= Work output/ Revised input=25/50=0.5

Efficiency=0.5*100=50%

What is the maximal coefficient of performance of a refrigerator which cools down 10 kg of water (and then ice) to -6C. Upper he

inysia [295]

Given:

Temperature of water, $T_{1}$ = $-6^{\circ}C$ =273 +(-6) =267 K

Temperature surrounding refrigerator, $T_{2}$ = $21^{\circ}C$ =273 + 21 =294 K

Specific heat given for water, $C_{w}$ = 4.19 KJ/kg/K

Specific heat given for ice, $C_{ice}$ = 2.1 KJ/kg/K

Latent heat of fusion, $L_{fusion}$ = 335KJ/kg

Solution:

Coefficient of Performance (COP) for refrigerator is given by:

Max $COP_{refrigerator}$ = $\frac{T_{2}}{T_{2} - T_{1}}$

= $\frac{267}{294 - 267}$ = 9.89

Coefficient of Performance (COP) for heat pump is given by:

Max $COP_{heat pump}$ = $\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2} - T_{1}}$ $\frac{294}{294 - 267}$ = 10.89

An electric motor is to be supported by four identical mounts. Each mount can be treated as a linear prevent problems due requir

Artyom0805 [142]

GIVEN:

Amplitude, A = 0.1mm

Force, F =1 N

mass of motor, m = 120 kg

operating speed, N = 720 rpm

$\frac{A}{F}$ = $\frac{0.1\times 10^{-3}}{1} = 0.1\times 10^{-3}$

Formula Used:

$A = \frac{F}{\sqrt{(K_{t} - m\omega ^{2}) +(\zeta \omega ^{2})}}$

Solution:

Let Stiffness be denoted by 'K' for each mounting, then for 4 mountings it is 4K

We know that:

$\omega = \frac{2 \pi\times N}{60}$

so,

$\omega = \frac{2 \pi\times 720}{60}$ = 75.39 rad/s

Using the given formula:

Damping is negligible, so, $\zeta = 0$

$\frac{A}{F}$ will give the tranfer function

Therefore,

$\frac{A}{F}$ = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{(4K - 120\ ^{2})}}$

$0.1\times 10^{-3}$ = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{(4K - 120\ ^{2})}}$

Required stiffness coefficient, K = 173009 N/m = 173.01 N/mm

A police officer in a patrol car parked in a 70 km/h speed zone observes a passing automobile traveling at a slow, constant spee

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

S = 0.5 km

velocity of motorist = 42.857 km/h

Explanation:

given data

speed = 70 km/h

accelerates uniformly = 90 km/h

time = 8 s

overtakes motorist = 42 s

solution

we know initial velocity u1 of police = 0

final velocity u2 = 90 km/h = 25 mps

we apply here equation of motion

u2 = u1 + at

so acceleration a will be

a = $\frac{25-0}{8}$

a = 3.125 m/s²

so

distance will be

S1 = 0.5 × a × t²

S1 = 100 m = 0.1 km

and

S2 = u2 × t

S2 = 25 × 16

S2 = 400 m = 0.4 km

so total distance travel by police

S = S1 + S2

S = 0.1 + 0.4

S = 0.5 km

and

when motorist travel with uniform velocity

than total time = 42 s

so velocity of motorist will be

velocity of motorist = $\frac{S}{t}$

velocity of motorist = $\frac{500}{42}$

velocity of motorist = 42.857 km/h

The roof of a refrigerated truck compartment consists of a layer of foamed urethane insulation (t2 = 21 mm, ki = 0.026 W/m K) be

lakkis [162]

Answer:

Tso = 28.15°C

Explanation:

given data

t2 = 21 mm

ki = 0.026 W/m K

t1 = 9 mm

kp = 180 W/m K

length of the roof is L = 13 m

net solar radiation into the roof = 107 W/m²

temperature of the inner surface Ts,i = -4°C

air temperature is T[infinity] = 29°C

convective heat transfer coefficient h = 47 W/m² K

solution

As when energy on the outer surface at roof of a refrigerated truck that is balance as

Q = $\frac{T \infty - T si }{\frac{1}{hA}+\frac{t1}{AKp}+\frac{t2}{AKi}+\frac{t1}{aKp}}$ .....................1

Q = $\frac{T \infty - Tso}{\frac{1}{hA}}$ .....................2

now we compare both equation 1 and 2 and put here value

$\frac{29-(-4)}{\frac{1}{47}+\frac{2\times0.009}{180}+\frac{0.021}{0.026}} = \frac{29-Tso}{\frac{1}{47}}$

solve it and we get

Tso = 28.153113

so Tso = 28.15°C
