Problem 4.041 SI Refrigerant 134a enters an insulated compressor operating at steady state as saturated vapor at -26oC with a vo

lumetric flow rate of 0.18 m3/s. Refrigerant exits at 8 bar, 70oC. Changes in kinetic and potential energy from inlet to exit can be ignored. Determine the volumetric flow rate at the exit, in m3/s, and the compressor power, in kW

Answer:

0.0297M^3/s

W=68.48kW

Explanation:

Hello! To solve this problem, we must first find all the thermodynamic properties at the input (state 1) and the compressor output (state 2), using the thermodynamic tables

Through laboratory tests, thermodynamic tables were developed, these allow to know all the thermodynamic properties of a substance (entropy, enthalpy, pressure, specific volume, internal energy etc ..)  

through prior knowledge of two other properties such as pressure and temperature.  

state 1

X=quality=1

T=-26C

density 1=α1=5.27kg/m^3  

entalpy1=h1=234.7KJ/kg

state 2

T2=70

P2=8bar=800kPa

density 2=α2=31.91kg/m^3  

entalpy2=h2=306.9KJ/kg

Now to find the flow at the outlet of the compressor, we remember the continuity equation that states that the mass flow is equal to the input and output.

m1=m2

(Q1)(α1)=(Q2)(α2)

\frac{(Q1)(\alpha 1) }{\alpha 2} =Q2\\Q2=\frac{(0.18)(5.27) }{31.91} =0.0297M^3/s

the volumetric flow rate at the exit is 0.0297M^3/s

To find the power of the compressor we use the first law of thermodynamics that says that the energy that enters must be equal to the energy that comes out, in this order of ideas we have the following equation

W=m(h2-h1)

m=Qα

W=(0.18)(5.27)(306.9-234.7)

W=68.48kW

the compressor power is 68.48kW

The air contained in a room loses heat to the surroundings at a rate of 60 kJ/min while work is supplied to the room by computer
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The net amount of energy change of the air in the room during a 10-min period is 120 KJ.

Explanation:

Given that

Heat loss from room (Q)= 60 KJ/min

Work supplied to the room(W) = 1.2 KW = 1.2 KJ/s

We know that  1 W = 1 J/s

Sign convention for heat and work:

1. If heat is added to the system then it is taken as positive and if heat is rejected from the system then it is taken as negative.

2. If work is done by the system then it is taken as positive and if work is done on the system then it is taken as negative.

So

Q = -60 KJ/min

In 10 min Q = -600 KJ

W = -1.2 KJ/s

We know that

1 min = 60 s

10 min = 600 s

So   W = -1.2 x 600 KJ

W = -720 KJ

WE know that ,first law of thermodynamics

Q = W + ΔU

-600  =  - 720 + ΔU

ΔU = 120 KJ

The net amount of energy change of the air in the room during a 10-min period is 120 KJ.

Ignoring any losses, estimate how much energy (in units of Btu) is required to raise the temperature of water in a 90-gallon hot
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Q=36444.11 Btu

Explanation:

Given that

Initial temperature = 60° F

Final temperature = 110° F

Specific heat of water = 0.999 Btu/lbm.R

Volume of water = 90 gallon

Mass = Volume x density

1\ gallon = 0.13ft^3

Mass ,m= 90 x 0.13 x 62.36 lbm

m=729.62 lbm

We know that sensible heat given as

Q= m Cp ΔT

Now by putting the values

Q= 729.62 x 0.999 x (110-60) Btu

Q=36444.11 Btu

Three point charges, each with q = 3 nC, are located at the corners of a triangle in the x-y plane, with one corner at the origi
lawyer [7]

Answer:

\vec F_{A} = -67500\,N\cdot (i + j)

Explanation:

The position of each point are the following:

A = (0\,m,0\,m,0\,m), B = (0.02\,m,0\,m,0\,m), C = (0\,m,0.02\,m,0\,m)

Since the three objects report charges with same sign, then, net force has a repulsive nature. The net force experimented by point charge A is:

\vec F_{A} = \vec F_{AB} + \vec F_{AC}

\vec F_{A} = -\frac{k\cdot q^{2}}{r_{AB}^{2}}\cdot i - \frac{k\cdot q^{2}}{r_{AC}^{2}}\cdot j

\vec F_{A} = - \frac{k\cdot q^{2}}{r^{2}} \cdot (i + j)

\vec F_{A} = -\frac{(9 \times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}} )\cdot (3\times 10^{-9}\,C)}{(0.02\,m)^{2}}\cdot (i + j)

\vec F_{A} = -67500\,N\cdot (i + j)
