Answer:
a. 2.08, b. 1110 kJ/min
Explanation:
The power consumption and the cooling rate of an air conditioner are given. The COP or Coefficient of Performance and the rate of heat rejection are to be determined. <u>Assume that the air conditioner operates steadily.</u>
a. The coefficient of performance of the air conditioner (refrigerator) is determined from its definition, which is
COP(r) = Q(L)/W(net in), where Q(L) is the rate of heat removed and W(net in) is the work done to remove said heat
COP(r) = (750 kJ/min/6 kW) x (1 kW/60kJ/min) = 2.08
The COP of this air conditioner is 2.08.
b. The rate of heat discharged to the outside air is determined from the energy balance.
Q(H) = Q(L) + W(net in)
Q(H) = 750 kJ/min + 6 x 60 kJ/min = 1110 kJ/min
The rate of heat transfer to the outside air is 1110 kJ for every minute.
Answer:
The maximum theoretical height that the pump can be placed above liquid level is 
Explanation:
To pump the water, we need to avoid cavitation. Cavitation is a phenomenon in which liquid experiences a phase transition into the vapour phase because pressure drops below the liquid's vapour pressure at that temperature. As a liquid is pumped upwards, it's pressure drops. to see why, let's look at Bernoulli's equation:

(
stands here for density,
for height)
Now, we are assuming that there aren't friction losses here. If we assume further that the fluid is pumped out at a very small rate, the velocity term would be negligible, and we get:


This means that pressure drop is proportional to the suction lift's height.
We want the pressure drop to be small enough for the fluid's pressure to be always above vapour pressure, in the extreme the fluid's pressure will be almost equal to vapour pressure.
That means:

We insert that into our last equation and get:

And that is the absolute highest height that the pump could bear. This, assuming that there isn't friction on the suction pipe's walls, in reality the height might be much less, depending on the system's pipes and pump.
