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

In the construction of a large reactor pressure vessel, a new steel alloy with a plane strain fracture toughness of 55 MPa-m1/2
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

l=24mm

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Plane strain fracture toughness of T=55 MPa-m1/2

Y value Y=1.0

Stress level of\sigma =200 MPa

Generally the equation for length of a surface crack is mathematically given by

l=\frac{1}{\pi}(\frac{T}{Y*\sigma})^2

l=\frac{1}{3.142}(\frac{55}{1*200})^2

l=0.024m

Therefore

in mm

l=24mm

A light aircraft with a wing area of 200 ft^2 and a weight of 2000 lb has a lift coefficient of 0.39 and a drag coefficient of 0
Gnoma [55]

Answer: power required to maintain level flight=82.20hp

Explanation:

Given

Area = 200 ft^2

Weight = 2000 lb

Cl( Lift coefficient)= 0.39

Cd( Drag coefficient) = 0.06  

The density ρ of air at standard atmospheric  pressure = 2.38 X 10^-3 slugs/ft^3

For Equilibrium to be maintained during flight conditions, the lift force must be balanced by the weight of the aircraft such that

Lift force  = Weight of aircraft

(1/2)ρAU²Cl= W

1/2X 2.38 X 10^-3 X 200 X U² X 0.39 = 2000

U²= 2000 X 2 / 2.38 X 10^-3 X 200 X 0.39

U=\sqrt{21,547.08}

Velocity, U= 146.7892ft/s

Drag force of the velocity can be deduced from the formulae

Cd= Drag force(D) /1/2 ρU²A

Drag force=1/2 ρU²ACd

D=1/2 x (2.38 X 10^-3 slugs/ft^3) x (146.7892ft/s)² x 200 ft^2 x 0.06

D=307.69

Drag force= 308lb

power required to maintain level flight is given as

P = Drag force x Velocity = D x U

=308lb X  146.7892ft/s

=45,211.0736lb.ft/s

Changing to hp we have that

1 Horsepower, hp = 550 ft lbf/s

??=45,211.0736lb.ft/s

45,211.0736lb.ft/s/ 550 ft lbf/s= 82.20hp
