Western coast is frequented by the cold californian current which reduces the temperature.

Southern Alaskan coast is frequented by Warm Alaskan current which increases the temeprature of the coast.

Eastern coast is frequented by Warm Gulf Stream which increases the temperature of the coast.

Explanation:

Oceanic current (Gulf stream) increases the temperature of the coastal region along the Eastern Coast of the US mainland. Gulf stream represents the system of warm oceanic current. This current causes excessive hot conditions in the US mainland.

West Coast of the US is frequented by Cold Californian current and warm Alaskan current. Hence, the Californian current decreases the temperature of the western coast of the US and cause atmospheric stability in the region.

Southern Alaska is frequented by the warm Alaskan current which raises the temperature of the southern Alaskan coast.

Answer:

7.15

Explanation:

Firstly, the COP of such heat pump must be measured that is,

$COP_{HP}=\frac{T_H}{T_H-T_L}$

Therefore, the temperature relationship, $T_H=1.15\;T_L$

Then, we should apply the values in the COP.

$=\frac{1.15\;T_L}{1.15-1}$

$=7.67$

The number of heat rejected by the heat pump must then be calculated.

$Q_H=COP_{HP}\times W_{nst}$

$=7.67\times5=38.35$

We must then calculate the refrigerant mass flow rate.

$m=0.264\;kg/s$

$q_H=\frac{Q_H}{m}$

$=\frac{38.35}{0.264}=145.27$

The $h_g$ value is 145.27 and therefore the hot reservoir temperature is 64° C.

The pressure at 64 ° C is thus 1849.36 kPa by interpolation.

And, the lowest reservoir temperature must be calculated.

$T_L=\frac{T_H}{1.15}$

$=\frac{64+273}{1.15}=293.04$

$=19.89\°C$

the lowest reservoir temperature = 258.703 kpa

So, the pressure ratio should be = 7.15

An industrial plant consists of several 60 Hz single-phase motors with low power factor. The plant absorbs 600 kW with a power f

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

(a) $Q=332$ $kvar$ and $C=5.66$ $uF$

(b) $pf=0.90$ lagging

Explanation:

Given Data:

$P=600kW$

$V=12.47kV$

$f=60Hz$

$pf_{old} =0.75$

$pf_{new} =0.95$

(a) Find the required kVAR rating of a capacitor

$\alpha _{old}=cos^{-1}(0.75) =41.41$ °

$\alpha _{new}=cos^{-1}(0.95) =18.19$ °

The required compensation reactive power can be found by

$Q=P(tan(\alpha_{old}) - tan(\alpha_{new}))$

$Q=600(tan(41.41) - tan(18.19))$

$Q=332$ $kvar$

The corresponding capacitor value can be found by

$C=Q/2\pi fV^{2}$

$C=332/2*\pi *60*12.47^{2}$

$C=5.66$ $uF$

(b) calculate the resultant supply power factor

First convert the hp into kW

$P_{mech} =250*746=186.5$ $kW$

Find the electrical power (real power) of the motor

$P_{elec} =P_{mech}/n$

where $n$ is the efficiency of the motor

$P_{elec} =186.5/0.80=233.125$ $kW$

The current in the motor is

$I_{m} =(P/\*V*pf)$

The pf of motor is 0.85 Leading

Note that represents the angle in complex notation (polar form)

$I_{m} =(233.125/12.47*0.85)$

$I_{m}=18.694+11.586$ $j$ $A$

Now find the Load current

pf of load is 0.75 lagging (notice the minus sign)

$I_{load} =(600/12.47*0.75)$

$I_{load} =48.115-42.433$ $j$ $A$

Now the supply current is the current flowing in the load plus the current flowing in the motor

$I_{supply} =I_{m} + I_{load}$

$I_{supply}= (18.694+11.586)+(48.115-42.433)$

$I_{supply} =66.809-30.847j$ $A$

or in polar form

$I_{supply} =73.58$ °

Which means that the supply current lags the supply voltage by 24.78

therefore, the supply power factor is

$pf=cos(24.78)=0.90$ lagging

Which makes sense because original power factor was 0.75 then we installed synchronous motor which resulted in improved power factor of 0.90

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

A combination square is a multi-use measuring instrument which is primarily used for ensuring the integrity of a 90° angle, measuring a 45° angle, measuring the center of a circular object, find depth, and simple distance measurements. It can also be used to determine level and plumb using its spirit level vial.
