Consider a Carnot refrigeration cycle executed in a closed system in the saturated liquid-vapor mixture region using 0.96 kg of

refrigerant-134a as the working fluid. Is it known that the maximum absolute temperature in the cycle is 1.2 times the minimum absolute temperature, and the net work input to the cycle I s 22 kJ. If the refrigerant changes from saturated vapor to saturated liquid during the heat rejection process, determine he minimum pressure in the cycle.

Answer:

P_m_i_n= 356.9 KPa

Explanation:

Coefficient of performance (COP) of refrigeration cycle is given by:

COP=\frac{1}{\frac{T_H}{T_L}-1 }

We are given:

T_H=1.2T_L

COP=\frac{1}{1.2-1 }

COP= 5

We can also write Coefficient of performance (COP) of refrigeration cycle  as:

COP_R=\frac{Q_L}{W_i_n}

Amount of heat absorbed by low temperature reservoir can be found as:

Q_L=COP_R * W_i_n

Q_L=5 * 22 KJ

Q_L=110 KJ

According to first law of thermodynamics amount of heat rejected by hot reservoir is given by:

Q_H=Q_L + W_i_n

Q_H=110 KJ + 22 KJ

Q_H=132 KJ

We are given the mass of 0.96 kg. So,

q_H=\frac{Q_H}{m}

q_H=\frac{132 KJ}{0.96Kg}

q_H=137.5 KJ/Kg

Since it is a saturated liquid-vapour mixture q_H=h_f_g.

q_H=h_f_g=137.5 KJ/Kg

From Refrigerant 134-a tables T_H at h_f_g=137.5 KJ/Kg is 61.3 C. (We calculated this by interpolation)

Converting T_H from Celsius to Kelvin:

61.3^{o} C+273 = 334.3^{o} K

T_H= 334.3^{o} K

We are given:

T_H=1.2T_L

T_L=\frac{T_H}{1.2}

T_L=\frac{334.3}{1.2}

T_L=278.58^{o} K

Converting T_L from Kelvin to Celsius:

278.58^{o} K-273 = 5.58^{o} C

T_L= 5.58^{o} C

From Refrigerant 134-a tables P_m_i_n at T_L=5.58^{o} C is 356.9 KPa. (We calculated this by interpolation).

P_m_i_n= 356.9 KPa

Tech A says that the brake pedal uses leverage to multiply foot pressure. Tech B says that when braking hard while moving
Nikolay [14]

Tech- A is correct

Explanation:

  • Leverage is defined as using a tool to gain mechanical influence. The measure of the benefit gained depends on what kind of lever is used and how it is utilized.
  • Leverage is designed in such a way that it can reproduce the force from your leg many times before any force is transferred to brake fluid.
  • The brake pedal size and the measure of leverage received depends on the overall design of the brake system.
  • The second-order lever is used in the brake pedal. The brake pedal applies leverage to populate the force employed to the master cylinder. The effort needed to drive a load depends on the corresponding distance of the load and the work from the fulcrum. The proportion of load and work is known as mechanical advantage.

How does a turbo charger work
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The turbocharger on a car applies a very similar principle to a piston engine. It uses the exhaust gas to drive a turbine. This spins an air compressor that pushes extra air (and oxygen) into the cylinders, allowing them to burn more fuel each second
