Answer:

a). TRUE

Explanation:

Thermal efficiency of a system is the defined as the ratio of the net work done to the total heat input to the system. It is a dimensionless quantity.

Mathematically, thermal efficiency is

        η =  net work done / heat input

While heat rate is  the reciprocal of efficiency. It is defined as the ratio of heat supplied to the system to the useful work done.

Mathematically, heat rate is

       Heat rate = heat input / net work done

Thus from above we can see that heat rate is the reciprocal of thermal efficiency.

Thus, Heat rate is reciprocal of thermal efficiency.

Briefly describe the function of the thermostatic expansion valve in a vapour compression refrigeration system
dalvyx [7]

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.
