g A food department is kept at -12oC by a refrigerator in an environment at 30oC. The total heat gain to the food department is

estimated to be 3300 kJ/h, which should be transferred out of the food department by the refrigerator. The heat rejection from the refrigerator to the environment is 4800 kJ/h. Determine the power input required by the refrigerator, in kW and the COP of the refrigerator. Is the refrigeration cycle reversible, irreversible, or impossible

Answer:

a) \dot W = 0.417\,kW, b) COP_{R} = 2.198, c) Irreversible.

Explanation:

a) The power input required by the refrigerator is:

\dot W = \dot Q_{H} - \dot Q_{L}

\dot W = \left(4800\,\frac{kJ}{h} - 3300\,\frac{kJ}{h}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{3600} \,\frac{h}{s} \right)

\dot W = 0.417\,kW

b) The Coefficient of Performance of the refrigerator is:

COP_{R} = \frac{\dot Q_{L}}{\dot W}

COP_{R} = \frac{3300\,\frac{kJ}{h} }{(0.417\,kW)\cdot \left(3600\,\frac{s}{h} \right)}

COP_{R} = 2.198

c) The maximum ideal Coefficient of Performance of the refrigeration is given by the inverse Carnot's Cycle:

COP_{R,ideal} = \frac{T_{L}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}

COP_{R,ideal} = \frac{261.15\,K}{303.15\,K - 261.15\,K}

COP_{R,ideal} = 6.218

The refrigeration cycle is irreversible, as COP_{R} < COP_{R,ideal}.

Saturated water vapor undergoes a throttling process from 1bar to a 0.35bar. What is the change in temperature for this process?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

-25.63°C.

Explanation:

We know that throttling is a constant enthalpy process

      h_1=h_2

From steal table

We know that if we know only one property in side the dome then we will find the other property by using steam property table.

  Temperature at saturation pressure 1 bar is 99.63°C and  Temperature at saturation pressure 0.35 bar is about 74°C .

So from above we can say that change in temperature is -25.63°C.

But there is no any option for that .

A steam power plant operates on an ideal reheat- regenerative Rankine cycle and has a net power output of 80 MW. Steam enters th
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

flow(m) = 54.45 kg/s

thermal efficiency u = 44.48%

Explanation:

Given:

- P_1 = P_8 = 10 KPa

- P_2 = P_3 = P_6 = P_7 = 800 KPa

- P_4 = P_5 = 10,000 KPa

- T_5 = 550 C

- T_7 = 500 C

- Power Output P = 80 MW

Find:

-  The mass flow rate of steam through the boiler

-  The thermal efficiency of the cycle.

Solution:

State 1:

P_1 = 10 KPa , saturated liquid

h_1 = 192 KJ/kg

v_1 = 0.00101 m^3 / kg

State 2:

P_2 = 800 KPa , constant volume process work done:

h_2 = h_1 + v_1 * ( P_2 - P_1)

h_2 = 192 + 0.00101*(790) = 192.80 KJ/kg

State 3:

P_3 = 800 KPa , saturated liquid

h_3 = 721 KJ/kg

v_3 = 0.00111 m^3 / kg

State 4:

P_4 = 10,000 KPa , constant volume process work done:

h_4 = h_3 + v_3 * ( P_4 - P_3)

h_4 = 721 + 0.00111*(9200) = 731.21 KJ/kg

State 5:

P_5 = 10,000 KPa , T_5 = 550 C

h_5 = 3500 KJ/kg

s_5 = 6.760 KJ/kgK

State 6:

P_6 = 800 KPa , s_5 = s_6 = 6.760 KJ/kgK

h_6 = 2810 KJ/kg

State 7:

P_7 = 800 KPa , T_7 = 500 C

h_7 = 3480 KJ/kg

s_7 = 7.870 KJ/kgK

State 8:

P_8 = 10 KPa , s_8 = s_7 = 7.870 KJ/kgK

h_8 = 2490 KJ/kg

- Fraction of steam y = flow(m_6 / m_3).

- Use energy balance of steam bleed and cold feed-water:

                                        E_6 + E_2 = E_3

               flow(m_6)*h_6 + flow(m_2)*h_3 = flow(m_3)*h_3

                                    y*h_6 + (1-y)*h_3 = h_3

                                  y*2810 + (1-y)*192.8 = 721

Compute y:                          y = 0.2018

- Heat produced by the boiler q_b:

                             q_b = h_5 - h_4 +(1-y)*(h_7 - h_8)

                    q_b = 3500 -731.21 + ( 1 - 0.2018)*(3480 - 2810)

Compute q_b:               q_b = 3303.58 KJ/ kg

-Heat dissipated by the condenser q_c:

                                       q_c = (1-y)*(h_8 - h_1)

                                 q_c= ( 1 + 0.2018)*(2810 - 192)

Compute q_c:               q_c = 1834.26 KJ/ kg

- Net power output w_net:

                                     w_net = q_b - q_c

                                w_net = 3303.58 - 1834.26

                                    w_net = 1469.32 KJ/kg

- Given out put P = 80,000 KW

                                     flow(m) = P / w_net

compute flow(m)          flow(m) = 80,000 /1469.32 = 54.45 kg/s

- Thermal efficiency u:

                                     u = 1 - (q_c / q_b)

                                     u = 1 - (1834.26/3303.58)

                                     u = 44.48 %
