Air enters a counterflow heat exchanger operating at steady state at 27 C, 0.3 MPa and exits at 12 C. Refrigerant 134a enters at

0.4 MPa, a quality of 0.3, and a mass flow rate of 35 kg/h. Refrigerant exits at 10 C. Stray heat transfer is negligible and there is no significant change in pressure for either stream.(a) For the Refrigerant 134a stream, determine the rate of heat transfer, in kJ/h.(b) For each of the streams, evaluate the change in flow exergy rate, in kJ/h, and interpret its value and sign.Let T0 = 22 C, p0 = 0.1 MPa, and ignore the effects of motion and gravity.

Answer:

A) 337.21 kj/h

b) -224.823 kj/h

Explanation:

Steady state temperature = 27⁰C

Pressure = 0.3 MPa

exit temperature = 12⁰c

Refrigerant 134a :

entering pressure = 0.4 MPa

mass flow rate = 35 kg/h

quality = 0.3

inlet temp = 8.93⁰c

A) Determine the rate of heat transfer in kJ/h for Refrigerant 134a stream

calculate the specific enthalpy of refrigerant at the inlet

hm = hf + x ( hg - hf )

at 0.4 MPa : hf = 64 kj/kg ,  hg = 256 kj/kg

x = 0.3 ( quality )

hence : hm = 64 + 0.3 ( 256 - 64 ) = 64.3 + 57.6 = 121.9 kj/kg

next calculate the specific enthalpy at outlet

Tout = 10⁰c , T sat = 8.93⁰c

since the Tsat < Tout the refrigerant is super heated and from the super heated refrigerant table at P = 0.4 MPa, hout = 257 kj/kg

Heat gained by refrigerant ( Qin)

Qin = mref ( hout - hin )

      = 35 ( 257 - 112) = 5075 kj/h

To determine the rate of heat transfer we have to apply the equation below

heat gained by refrigerant = heat gained by air

                                     Qin = Qout

                                     5075 kj/h = mair ( hout - hin ) ------------ 1

considering ideal conditions

at T = 300 k ,  hout = 300.19 kj/kg ( specific enthalpy )

at T = 285 k , hin = 285.14 kj/kg   ( specific enthalpy )

back to equation 1

5075 kj/h = mair ( 300.19 - 285.14 )

mair ( rate of energy transfer ) = 5075 / 15.05 = 337.21 kj/h

B) evaluating the change in flow energy rate in kJ/h

attached below is the detailed solution

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

a. 47.48%

b. 35.58%

c. 2957.715 KW

Explanation:

T_2 =T_1 + \dfrac{T_{2s} - T_1}{\eta _c}

T₁ = 300 K

\dfrac{T_{2s}}{T_1} = \left( \dfrac{P_{2}}{P_1} \right)^{\dfrac{k-1}{k} }

T_{2s} = 300 \times (10) ^{\dfrac{0.4}{1.4} }

T_{2s} = 579.21 K

T₂ = 300+ (579.21 - 300)/0.8 = 649.01 K

T₃ = T₂ + \epsilon _{regen}(T₅ - T₂)

T₄ = 1400 K

Given that the pressure ratios across each turbine stage are equal, we have;

\dfrac{T_{5s}}{T_4} = \left( \dfrac{P_{5}}{P_4} \right)^{\dfrac{k-1}{k} }

T_{5s} = 1400×\left( 1/\sqrt{10}  \right)^{\dfrac{0.4}{1.4} }  = 1007.6 K

T₅ = T₄ + (T_{5s} - T₄)/\eta _t = 1400 + (1007.6- 1400)/0.8 = 909.5 K

T₃ = T₂ + \epsilon _{regen}(T₅ - T₂)

T₃ = 649.01 + 0.8*(909.5 - 649.01 ) = 857.402 K

T₆ = 1400 K

\dfrac{T_{7s}}{T_6} = \left( \dfrac{P_{7}}{P_6} \right)^{\dfrac{k-1}{k} }

T_{7s} = 1400×\left( 1/\sqrt{10}  \right)^{\dfrac{0.4}{1.4} }   = 1007.6 K

T₇ = T₆ + (T_{7s} - T₆)/\eta _t = 1400 + (1007.6 - 1400)/0.8 = 909.5 K

a. W_{net \ out} = cp(T₆ -T₇) = 1.005 * (1400 - 909.5) = 492.9525 KJ/kg

Heat supplied is given by the relation

cp(T₄ - T₃) + cp(T₆ - T₅) = 1.005*((1400 - 857.402) + (1400 - 909.5)) = 1038.26349 kJ/kg

Thermal efficiency of the cycle = (Net work output)/(Heat supplied)

Thermal efficiency of the cycle = (492.9525 )/(1038.26349 ) =0.4748 = 47.48%

b. bwr = \dfrac{W_{c,in}}{W_{t,out}}

bwr = (T₂ -T₁)/[(T₄ - T₅) +(T₆ -T₇)]  = (649.01 - 300)/((1400 - 909.5) + (1400 - 909.5)) = 35.58%

c. Power = 6 kg *492.9525 KJ/kg  = 2957.715 KW

Do the coil resistances have any effect on the plots?
PolarNik [594]
Because of the skin depth effect, the current at high frequency tends to flow at very low depth from radius. Then at high frequency the effective cross section of the wire is narrower than at DC.

Fro example skin depth at 100 kHz is 0.206 mm (0.008”), a wire more thicker than AWG26 could be a waste of copper, better use a bunch of thin wire (Litz wire) to rise the Q factor.
