The elevation might be higher causing more rain
sdas [7]3 years ago

Answer:

It's because the moisture in the air condenses much quicker at a higher elevation. When the air condenses, rain clouds are formed. The side the air comes from is called the windward side, which is where there is more rainfall.

An induced-draft cooling tower cools 90,000 gallons per minute of water from 84 to 68oF. Air at 14.61 psia, 70oF dry bulb and 60
belka [17]

Answer:

a. V = 109.64 × 10⁵ ft/min

b. Mw = 654519.54 kg/hr

Explanation:

Given Parameters

mass flow rate of water, Mw = 90000g/min = 6607.33 kg/s

inlet temperature of water, T1 = 84 F = 28.89 C

outlet temperature of water, T2 = 68 F = 20 C

specific heat capacity of water, c = 4.18kJ/kgK

rate of heat remover from water, Qw is given by

Qw = 6607.33[28.89 - 20] * 4.18

Qw = 245529.545kw

For air, inlet condition

DBT = 70 F              hi = 43.43 kJ/kg

WBT = 60 F             wi = 0.00874 kJ/kg

                                u1 = 0.8445 m/kg

oulet condition,

DBT = 70 F        RH = 100.1

h1 = 83.504kJ/kg

Wo = 0.222kJ/kg

Air-conditioners consume a significant amount of electrical energy in buildings. Split air conditioner is a unitary system where
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Evaporator,Compressor,Condensor ,Expanding valve

Explanation:

Split air conditioning :

  Split air conditioning means that, condensor unit or some time called outdoor unit is split from evaporator.It means that evaporator and condensor are placed at some distance.

The four component of split air conditioning system are as follows

1.Evaporator

 It absorb heat from room and produces the cooling effect.

2.Compressor

 It compresses the refrigerant which exits from evaporator.

3.Condensor

 It rejects the heat and cool the evaporator.

4.Expanding valve

  It allows to refrigerant to cool up to evaporator pressure.

Define extensive and intensive properties of thermodynamic system.
Flura [38]

Answer:

An intense property is a physical attribute of a system that is independent of the size of the system or the quantity of material it contains. An extensive property of a system, on the other hand, is dependent on the size of the system or the amount of material in it.
