Answer:

Explanation:

Thermostatic expansion valve is mainly a throttling device commonly used in air conditioning systems and refrigerators.

It is an automatic valve that maintains proper flow of refrigerant in the evaporator according to the load inside the evaporator. When the load in the evaporator is higher the valve opens and allows the increase in flow of refrigerant and when the load reduces the valve closes a bit and reduces the flow of refrigerant. This process leads to higher efficiency of compressor as well as the whole refrigeration system. Thus TEV works to reduce the pressure of refrigerant from higher condenser pressure to the lower evaporator pressure. It also keeps the evaporator active.

<u>Explanation</u>:

For series

$\Delta V=V_{1}+V_{2}+\ldots+V_{n}=I R_{1}+I R_{2}+\ldots+I R_{n}(\text {voltages add to the batter } y)$

$$I=I_{1}=I_{2}=I_{n}$ (current is the same)$

$V=I R(\text {voltage is directly proportional to } R)$

$R_{e q}=R_{1}+R_{2}+\ldots+R_{n} \quad \text { (resistance increase) }$

For parallel

$\Delta V=\Delta V_{1}=\Delta V_{2}=\Delta V_{n} \quad(\text { same voltage })$

$I=I_{1}+I_{2}+\ldots+I_{n}(\text {current adds})$

$I=\frac{\Delta V}{R_{e q}} \quad(R \text { inversal } y \text { proportional to } I)$

$\frac{1}{R_{e q}}=\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}+\ldots+\frac{1}{R_{n}}$

Discuss the differences between conduction and convective heat transfer.

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Basically there are two principal differences between the convection and conduction heat transfer

Explanation:

The conduction heat transfer is referred to the transfer between two solids due a temperature difference, while for, the convective heat transfer is referred to the transfer between a fluid (liquid or gas) and a solid. Also, they used different coefficients for its calculation.

We can include on the explanation that conduction thermal transfer is due to temperature difference, while convection thermal transfer is due to density difference.

In places with cold winters, space heating systems have a fundamental role in buildings. Without them, indoor temperatures would quickly become unsuitable for human occupancy. The local weather is one of the most important factors when designing a heating system; if two identical buildings are developed in Miami FL and New York City, the heating load will be much higher for the NYC property.
