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 circular ceramic plate that can be modeled as a blackbody is being heated by an electrical heater. The plate is 30 cm in diame
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Q = 125.538 W

Explanation:

Given data:

D = 30 cm

Temperature T_\infity = 15 degree celcius

T_S =  220 + 273 = 473 K

Heat coefficient = 12 W/m^2 K

Efficiency 80% = 0.8

Q = hA(T_S - T_{\infty}) \eta

= 12(\frac{\pi}{4} 0.3^2) (473 - 288) 0.8

Q = 125.538 W

A manufacturer makes two types of drinking straws: one with a square cross-sectional shape, and the other type the typical round
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

\frac{Q_{square}}{Q_{circle}} =  0.785  

Explanation:

given data

types of drinking straws

  1. square cross-sectional shape
  2. round shape

solution

we know that both perimeter of the cross section are equal

so we can say that

perimeter of square  = perimeter of circle  

4 × S = π × D

here S is length and D is diameter

S = \frac{\pi D}{4}        ....................1

and

ratio of  flow rate through the square and circle is here

\frac{Q_{square}}{Q_{circle}} = \frac{AV^2}{AV^2}  

\frac{Q_{square}}{Q_{circle}} = \frac{S^2}{\frac{\pi D^2}{4}}  

\frac{Q_{square}}{Q_{circle}} = \frac{(\frac{\pi D}{4})^2}{\frac{\pi D^2}{4}}  

\frac{Q_{square}}{Q_{circle}} = \frac{\pi }{4}  

\frac{Q_{square}}{Q_{circle}} =  0.785
