Water enters an ice machine at 55F and leaves as ice at 25F. If the COP of the ice machine is 3.7 during this operation, determi

ne the required power input in horsepower for an ice production rate of 15.0 lbm/hr. Know that 169 Btu of energy needs to be removed from each lbm of water at 55F to turn it into ice at 25F.

Answer:

The required power is P_i = 0.2692 \ hp

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The temperature of the water entering ice machine is T_1 =  55 ^o F

    The temperature of the water leaving is T_2 = 25 ^oF

    The COP of the ice machine is COP= 3.7

    The production rate of an ice  \r m = 15.0 \ lbm /hr

    The energy that needs to removed from each lbm of water at 55 F is E = 169 Btu

Generally the cooling load of the ice machine is mathematically represented as

       \r Q_L =  \r m * E

      \r Q_L =15 * 169

=>  \r Q_L = 2535 \ Btu/h

Generally the COP of the ice machine is mathematically represented as

       COP =  \frac{\r Q_L}{P_i}

Here P_i is the net power  input needed to successfully run the ice machine

So  

     3.7 =  \frac{2535}{P_i}

=>   P_i = 685 \  Btu/h

Converting to horsepower

      P_i = \frac{685}{2545}

=>   P_i = 0.2692 \ hp

Find the length (in m) of an organ pipe closed at one end that produces a fundamental frequency of 494 Hz when air temperature i
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

0.173 m.

Explanation:

The fundamental frequency of a closed pipe is given as

fc = v/4l .................. Equation 1

Where fc = fundamental frequency of a closed pipe, v = speed of sound  l = length of the pipe.

Making l the subject of the equation,

l = v/4fc ................ Equation 2

also

v = 331.5×0.6T ................. Equation 3

Where T = temperature in °C, T = 18.0 °c

Substitute into equation 3

v = 331.5+0.6(18)

v = 331.5+10.8

v = 342.3 m/s.

Also given: fc = 494 Hz,

Substitute into equation 2

l = 342.3/(4×494)

l = 342.3/1976

l =0.173 m.

Hence the length of the organ pipe = 0.173 m.

<h3>What is Quadratic equation ?</h3>

A quadratic equation as an equation of degree 2, meaning that the highest exponent of this function is 2. The standard form of a quadratic equation is y = ax^{2} + bx + c, where a, b, and c are numbers and a cannot be 0

P(A) = 0.006 a^{2} - 0.02a + 120

123 = 0.006- 0.02a + 120

0=0.006 a^{2} - 0.02a - 3

you can use the quadratic equation  formula to solve for the man's age.

A = (-b ± (\sqrt{b^{2} - 4*a*c})  ) / (2a)

A = (0.02 ±  \sqrt{(-0.02)^{2} - 4*0.006*(-3)}/ (2*0.006)

A = (0.02 ± \sqrt{0.0076}) / 0.012

A = 9 , -5.67

Age of the man will be 9 years
