refrigerant 134a enters a compressor operating at steady state as saturated vapor at 0.12 MPa and exits at 1.2 MPa and 70 C at a

mass flow rate of 0.108kg/s. As the refrigerant passes through the compressor, heat transfer to the surroundings occurs at a rate of 0.32 kJ/s. Determine at steady state the power input to the compressor, in kW.

Answer:

the power input to the compressor is 7.19Kw

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem follow the steps below.

1. We will call 1 the refrigerant state at the compressor inlet and 2 at the outlet.

2. We use thermodynamic tables to determine enthalpies in states 1 and 2.

(note: Through laboratory tests, thermodynamic tables were developed, these allow to know all the thermodynamic properties of a substance (entropy, enthalpy, pressure, specific volume, internal energy etc ..)  

through prior knowledge of two other properties such as pressure and temperature.  )

h1[quality=1, P=0.12Mpa)=237KJ/Kg

h2(P=1.2Mpa, t=70C)=300.6KJ/kg

3. uses the first law of thermodynamics in the compressor that states that the energy that enters a system is the same that must come out

Q=heat=0.32kJ/s

W=power input to the compressor

m=mass flow=0.108kg/S

m(h1)+W=Q+m(h2)

solving for W

W=Q+m(h2-h1)

W=0.32+0.108(300.6-237)=7.19Kw

the power input to the compressor is 7.19Kw

Which is the one factor that adds to the greenhouse effect? 1. a decrease in the amount of dust in the atmosphere 2. a decrease
lukranit [14]

Answer:

an increase in gasses that absorb heat

Explanation:

Greenhouse effect refers to the gradual increase in the earth's temperature due to an increase in the concentration of certain gases in the atmosphere. These gases are called greenhouse gases and they include; water vapour, nitrogen 1 oxide, carbon IV oxide etc. Green house effect is said to occur when heat radiating outwards from the earth surface towards space is trapped close to the earth's surface due to the presence of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Greenhouse effect leads to increase in the temperature of the earth, melting of polar ice caps and possibly flooding due to a rise in sea levels.

Greenhouse gases act as glass in a greenhouse. They allow heat to pass through onto the earth surface but trap the heat and prevent it from being radiated outwards back to space. Thereby increasing the surface temperature of the earth.

Calculate the increase in potential energy of a 60.0-kg man who climbs a ladder 10.0 meters high
andriy [413]

Potential energy = (mass) · (gravity) · (height)

PE = (60 kg) · (9.8 m/s²) · (10 m)

PE = (60 · 9.8 · 10) · (kg · m²/s² )

PE = 5,880 joules
