A freezer is maintained at 20°F by removing heat from it at a rate of 75 Btu/min. The power input to the freezer is 0.70 hp, and

the surrounding air is at 75°F. Determine (a) the reversible power, (b) the irreversibility, and (c) the second-law efficiency of this freezer.

Answer:

Explanation:

Cop of reversible refrigerator = TL / ( TH - TL)

TL = low temperature of freezer = 20 °F

TH = temperature of air around = 75 °F

Heat removal rate QL = 75 Btu/min

W actual, power input = 0.7 hp

conversion on F to kelvin = (T (°F) + 460 ) × 5 / 9

COP ( coefficient of performance) reversible = (20 + 460) × 5/9 / (5/9 ( ( 75 +460) - (20 + 460) ))

COP reversible = 480 / 55 = 8.73

irreversibility expression, I = W actual - W rev

COP r = QL / Wrev

W rev = QL /  COP r  where 75 Btu/min = 1.76856651 hp  where W actual = 0.70 hp

a) W rev =  1.76856651 hp  /  8.73  = 0.20258 hp is reversible power

I = W actual - W rev

b) I = 0.7 hp - 0.20258 hp = 0.4974 hp

c) the second-law efficiency of this freezer = W rev / W actual =  0.20258 hp / 0.7 hp = 0.2894 × 100 = 28.94 %

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The correct answer will be "400.4 N". The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Mass of truck,

m = 600 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

On equating torques at the point O,

⇒  T\times Cos(10+5)\times (1.3+4)=mg\times Sin(5)\times 4

So that,

On putting the values, we get

⇒  T\times Cos(15^{\circ})\times 5.3=600\times 9.8\times Sin(5^{\circ})\times 4

⇒                             T=400.4 \ N

Five kg of water is contained in a piston-cylinder assembly, initially at 5 bar and 240°C. The water is slowly heated at constan
Digiron [165]

Answer:

The final temperature of water is 381.39  °C.

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of water = 5 kg

Heat transfer at constant pressure Q = 2960 KJ

Initial temperature = 240 °C

We know that heat transfer at constant pressure given as follows

Q=mC_p\Delta T

We know that for water

C_p=4.187\ \frac{KJ}{kg.K}

Lets take final temperature of water is T

So

Q=mC_p\Delta T

2960=5\times 4.187(T-240)

T=381.39  °C

So the final temperature of water is 381.39  °C.
