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.

A large heat pump should upgrade 5 MW of heat at 85°C to be delivered as heat at 150°C. Suppose the actual heat pump has a COP o

AysviL [449]

Answer:

W=2 MW

Explanation:

Given that

COP= 2.5

Heat extracted from 85°C

Qa= 5 MW

Lets heat supplied at 150°C = Qr

The power input to heat pump = W

From first law of thermodynamics

Qr= Qa+ W

We know that COP of heat pump given as

$COP=\dfrac{Qr}{W}$

$2.5=\dfrac{5}{W}$

W=2 MW

For Carnot heat pump

$COP=\dfrac{T_2}{T_2-T_1}$

$2.5=\dfrac{T_2}{T_2-(273+85)}$

2.5 T₂ - 895= T₂

T₂=596.66 K

T₂=323.6 °C

(TCO 4) A system samples a sinusoid of frequency 190 Hz at a rate of 120 Hz and writes the sampled signal to its output without

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The frequency that the sampling system will generate in its output is 70 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

F = 190 Hz

Fs = 120 Hz

Output Frequency = F - nFs

When n = 1

Output Frequency = 190 - 120 = 70 Hz

Therefore, if a system samples a sinusoid of frequency 190 Hz at a rate of 120 Hz and writes the sampled signal to its output without further modification, the frequency that the sampling system will generate in its output is 70 Hz

Select four examples of fluid or pneumatic power systems.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Students learn about the fundamental concepts important to fluid power, which includes both pneumatic (gas) and hydraulic (liquid) systems. Both systems contain four basic components: reservoir/receiver, pump/compressor, valve, cylinder.
