Refrigerant-134a enters the coils of the evaporator of a refrigeration system as a saturated liquid–vapor mixture at a pressure

of 140 kPa. The refrigerant absorbs 180 kJ of heat from the cooled space, which is maintained at −10°C, and leaves as saturated vapor at the same pressure. Determine (a) the entropy change of the refrigerant, (b) the entropy change of the cooled space, and (c) the total entropy change for this process.

Answer:

A) ΔS_refrigerant = 0.70754 Kj/K

B) ΔS_space = -0.68441 Kj/K

C) ΔS_total = 0.02313 Kj/K

Explanation:

A) From he table attached, at Pressure of 140 KPa, and by interpolation, we get, Temperature of T = -18.77°C

Converting to degree kelvin yields;

T = -18.77 + 273 = 255.23 K

Formula for entropy change of refrigerant is given as;

ΔS_refrigerant = Q_in/T_refrigerant

We are given Q = 180 KJ

Thus, ΔS_refrigerant = 180/255.23 = 0.70754 Kj/K

B) Formula for entropy change of cooled space is given as;

ΔS_space = Q_out/T_s pace

T_space = -10°C = 273 - 10 = 263K

Thus, ΔS_space = -180/263 = -0.68441 Kj/K

C) the total entropy change would be;

ΔS_total = ΔS_refrigerant + ΔS_space

Thus,

ΔS_total = 0.70754 - 0.68441 = 0.02313 Kj/K

A satellite orbits the Earth every 2 hours at an average distance from the Earth's centre of 8000km. (i) What is the average ang

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

i)ω=3600 rad/s

ii)V=7059.44 m/s

iii)F=1245.8 N

Explanation:

i)

We know that angular speed given as

$\omega =\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}$

We know that for one revolution

θ=2π

Given that time t= 2 hr

So

ω=θ/t

ω=2π/2 = π rad/hr

ω=3600 rad/s

ii)

Average speed V

$V=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{R}}$

Where M is the mass of earth.

R is the distance

G is the constant.

Now by putting the values

$V=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{R}}$

$V=\sqrt{\dfrac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{8000\times 10^3}}$

V=7059.44 m/s

iii)

We know that centripetal fore given as

$F=\dfrac{mV^2}{R}$

Here given that m= 200 kg

R= 8000 km

so now by putting the values

$F=\dfrac{mV^2}{R}$

$F=\dfrac{200\times 7059.44^2}{8000\times 10^3}$

F=1245.8 N

Two balanced Y-connected loads in parallel, one drawing 15kW at 0.6 power factor lagging and the other drawing 10kVA at 0.8 powe

NemiM [27]

Answer:

(a) attached below

(b) $pf_{C}=0.85$ $lagging$

(c) $I_{C} =32.37 A$

(d) $X_{C} =49.37$ Ω

(e) $I_{cap} =9.72 A$ and $I_{line} =27.66 A$

Explanation:

Given data:

$P_{1}=15 kW$

$S_{2} =10 kVA$

$pf_{1} =0.6$ $lagging$

$pf_{2}=0.8$ $leading$

$V=480$ $Volts$

(a) Draw the power triangle for each load and for the combined load.

$\alpha_{1}=cos^{-1} (0.6)=53.13$ °

$\alpha_{2}=cos^{-1} (0.8)=36.86$ °

$S_{1}=P_{1} /pf_{1} =15/0.6=25 kVA$

$Q_{1}=P_{1} tan(\alpha_{1} )=15*tan(53.13)=19.99$ ≅ $20kVAR$

$P_{2} =S_{2}*pf_{2} =10*0.8=8 kW$

$Q_{2} =P_{2} tan(\alpha_{2} )=8*tan(-36.86)=-5.99$ ≅ $-6 kVAR$

The negative sign means that the load 2 is providing reactive power rather than consuming

Then the combined load will be

$P_{c} =P_{1} +P_{2} =15+8=23 kW$

$Q_{c} =Q_{1} +Q_{2} =20-6=14 kVAR$

(b) Determine the power factor of the combined load and state whether lagging or leading.

$S_{c} =P_{c} +jQ_{c} =23+14j$

or in the polar form

$S_{c} =26.92$ °

$pf_{C}=cos(31.32) =0.85$ $lagging$

The relationship between Apparent power S and Current I is

$S=VI^{*}$

Since there is conjugate of current I therefore, the angle will become negative and hence power factor will be lagging.

(c) Determine the magnitude of the line current from the source.

Current of the combined load can be found by

$I_{C} =S_{C}/\sqrt{3}*V$

$I_{C} =26.92*10^3/\sqrt{3}*480=32.37 A$

(d) Δ-connected capacitors are now installed in parallel with the combined load. What value of capacitive reactance is needed in each leg of the A to make the source power factor unity?Give your answer in Ω

$Q_{C} =3*V^2/X_{C}$

$X_{C} =3*V^2/Q_{C}$

$X_{C} =3*(480)^2/14*10^3$ Ω

(e) Compute the magnitude of the current in each capacitor and the line current from the source.

Current flowing in the capacitor is

$I_{cap} =V/X_{C} =480/49.37=9.72 A$

Line current flowing from the source is

$I_{line} =P_{C} /3*V=23*10^3/3*480=27.66 A$

List the main activities of exploration??

Trava [24]

Answer: Exploration includes plethora of activities and depend upon the kind of exploration a person is doing. But most include some of the basic activities like research , investigation, planning and execution.

Suppose we want to explore new petroleum sites then we would have to start with studying the geography of that area, then according to our research we will analyse the hot spots or the sector where probability of finding of oil field is highest, post that appropriate man power is skilled professionals, tools and machinery will be brought at the site so that execution can take place.
