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

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Correct answer: t = 2.86 seconds

Explanation:

We first use this formula

V² - V₀² = 2 a d    

where V is the final velocity (speed), V₀ the initial velocity (speed),

a the acceleration and d the distance.

We will calculate the acceleration from this formula

a = (V² - V₀²) / (2 d) = (2.5² - 1²) / (2 · 5) = (6.25 - 1) / 10 = 5.25 / 10

a = 0.525 m/s²

then we use this formula

V = V₀ + a t  => t = (V - V₀) / a = (2.5 - 1) / 0.525 = 1.5 / 0.525 = 2.86 seconds

t = 2.86 seconds

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The potential energy of the more massive one is twice that of the other.

Explanation:

Potential energy is given by

<em>PE</em> = <em>mgh</em>

where <em>m</em> = mass of body, <em>g</em> = acceleration of gravity and <em>h</em> = height or elevation.

For the less massive car, let the mass be m_1. Then its <em>PE</em> is

PE_1 = m_1gh

For the massive car, let the mass be m_2.  Its <em>PE</em> is

PE_2 = m_2gh

But m_2 =2m_1

\therefore PE_2 = 2m_1gh = 2(m_1gh) = 2PE_1

Hence, the potential energy of the more massive one is twice that of the other.
