A thermoelectric refrigerator is powered by a 16-V power supply that draws 2.9 A of current. If the refrigerator cools down 3.1

kg of water from 25 °C to 11 °C in 12 hours, what is the average COP of the refrigerator? Take the specific heat of water as 4180 J/kg.K. (3 decimal digits)

Answer:

COP = 0.090

Explanation:

The general formula for COP is:

COP = Desired Output/Required Input

Here,

Desired Output = Heat removed from water while cooling

Desired Output = (Specific Heat of Water)(Mass of Water)(Change in Temperature)/Time

Desired Output = [(4180 J/kg.k)(3.1 kg)(25 - 11)k]/[(12 hr)(3600 sec/hr)]

Desired Output = 4.199 W

And the required input can be given as electrical power:

Required Input = Electrical Power = (Current)(Voltage)

Required Input = (2.9 A)(16 V) = 46.4 W

Therefore:

COP = 4.199 W/46.4 W

<u>COP = 0.090</u>

A cooling system load is 96,000 BTUh sensible. How much chilled air is required to satisfy the load if the system is designed fo

Natalija [7]

Answer:

For $20^{\circ}$ - 5.556 lb/s

For $15^{\circ}$ - 7.4047 lb/s

Solution:

As per the question:

System Load = 96000 Btuh

Temperature, T = $20^{\circ}$

Temperature rise, T' = $15^{\circ}$

Now,

The system load is taken to be at constant pressure, then:

Specific heat of air, $C_{p} = 0.24 btu/lb ^{\circ}F$

Now, for a rise of $20^{\circ}$ in temeprature:

$\dot{m}C_{p}\Delta T = 96000$

$\dot{m} = \frac{96000}{C_{p}\Delta T} = \frac{96000}{0.24\times 20} = 20000 lb/h = \frac{20000}{3600} = 5.556 lb/s$

Now, for $15^{\circ}$ :

$\dot{m}C_{p}\Delta T = 96000$

$\dot{m} = \frac{96000}{C_{p}\Delta T} = \frac{96000}{0.24\times 15} = 26666.667 lb/h = \frac{26666.667}{3600} = 7.4074 lb/s$

A plane wall of thickness 0.1 m and thermal conductivity 25 W/m·K having uniform volumetric heat generation of 0.3 MW/m3 is insu

Contact [7]

Answer:

T = 167 ° C

Explanation:

To solve the question we have the following known variables

Type of surface = plane wall ,

Thermal conductivity k = 25.0 W/m·K,

Thickness L = 0.1 m,

Heat generation rate q' = 0.300 MW/m³,

Heat transfer coefficient hc = 400 W/m² ·K,

Ambient temperature T∞ = 32.0 °C

We are to determine the maximum temperature in the wall

Assumptions for the calculation are as follows

Negligible heat loss through the insulation
Steady state system
One dimensional conduction across the wall

Therefore by the one dimensional conduction equation we have

$k\frac{d^{2}T }{dx^{2} } +q'_{G} = \rho c\frac{dT}{dt}$

During steady state

$\frac{dT}{dt}$ = 0 which gives $k\frac{d^{2}T }{dx^{2} } +q'_{G} = 0$

From which we have $\frac{d^{2}T }{dx^{2} } = -\frac{q'_{G}}{k}$

Considering the boundary condition at x =0 where there is no heat loss

$\frac{dT}{dt}$ = 0 also at the other end of the plane wall we have

$-k\frac{dT }{dx } =$ hc (T - T∞) at point x = L

Integrating the equation we have

$\frac{dT }{dx } = \frac{q'_{G}}{k} x+ C_{1}$ from which C₁ is evaluated from the first boundary condition thus

0 = $\frac{q'_{G}}{k} (0)+ C_{1}$ from which C₁ = 0

From the second integration we have

$T = -\frac{q'_{G}}{2k} x^{2} + C_{2}$

From which we can solve for C₂ by substituting the T and the first derivative into the second boundary condition s follows

$-k\frac{q'_{G}L}{k} = h_{c}( -\frac{q'_{G}L^{2} }{k} + C_{2}-T∞)$ → C₂ = $q'_{G}L(\frac{1}{h_{c} }+ \frac{L}{2k} } )+T∞$

T(x) = $\frac{q'_{G}}{2k} x^{2} + q'_{G}L(\frac{1}{h_{c} }+ \frac{L}{2k} } )+T∞$ and T(x) = T∞ + $\frac{q'_{G}}{2k} (L^{2}+(\frac{2kL}{h_{c} }} )-x^{2} )$

∴ Tmax → when x = 0 = T∞ + $\frac{q'_{G}}{2k} (L^{2}+(\frac{2kL}{h_{c} }} ))$

Substituting the values we get

T = 167 ° C
