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 %

Which of these cars traveled faster during time interval <br> please show solution
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

I think D is correct

Explanation:

C is decreasing function, probably worst

A is arctan -> in radian, the rate of increasing is very slow-> second worst

B(14) = ln(9*14) = 4.8

D(14) = sqrt(8+14^2)=14.2

The melting point of Pb (lead) is 327°C, is the processing at 20°C hot working or cold working?
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Cold working: It is plastic deformation of material at temperature below   recrystallization temperature. whereas hot working is deforming material above the recrystallization temperature.

Given melting point temp of lead is 327° C and lead recrystallizes at about

0.3 to 0.5 times melting temperature which will be higher that 20°C. Hence we can conclude that at 20°C lead will under go cold working only.

A closed, rigid tank is filled with a gas modeled as an ideal gas, initially at 27°C and a gage pressure of 300 kPa. If the gas
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

gauge pressure is 133 kPa

Explanation:

given data

initial temperature T1 = 27°C = 300 K

gauge pressure = 300 kPa = 300 × 10³ Pa

atmospheric pressure = 1 atm

final temperature T2 = 77°C = 350 K

to find out

final pressure

solution

we know that gauge pressure is = absolute pressure - atmospheric pressure so

P (gauge ) = 300 × 10³ Pa - 1 × 10^{5} Pa

P (gauge ) = 2 × 10^{5} Pa

so from idea gas equation

\frac{P1*V1}{T1} = \frac{P2*V2}{T2}   ................1

so {P2} = \frac{P1*T2}{T1}

{P2} = \frac{2*10^5*350}{300}

P2 = 2.33 × 10^{5} Pa

so gauge pressure = absolute pressure - atmospheric pressure

gauge pressure = 2.33 × 10^{5}  - 1.0 × 10^{5}

gauge pressure = 1.33 × 10^{5} Pa

so gauge pressure is 133 kPa
