Answer:

Opened Push-button Switch (i.e. a PTM Switch)

Explanation:

Tha's just another symbol for a switch, but this one specifies that the switch is a push-button type of switch.

Since it's not touching and completing the line, the state of the switch is initially open.

boyakko [2]

Answer:

a) $\dot W = 0.417\,kW$ , b) $COP_{R} = 2.198$ , c) Irreversible.

Explanation:

a) The power input required by the refrigerator is:

$\dot W = \dot Q_{H} - \dot Q_{L}$

$\dot W = \left(4800\,\frac{kJ}{h} - 3300\,\frac{kJ}{h}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{3600} \,\frac{h}{s} \right)$

$\dot W = 0.417\,kW$

b) The Coefficient of Performance of the refrigerator is:

$COP_{R} = \frac{\dot Q_{L}}{\dot W}$

$COP_{R} = \frac{3300\,\frac{kJ}{h} }{(0.417\,kW)\cdot \left(3600\,\frac{s}{h} \right)}$

$COP_{R} = 2.198$

c) The maximum ideal Coefficient of Performance of the refrigeration is given by the inverse Carnot's Cycle:

$COP_{R,ideal} = \frac{T_{L}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}$

$COP_{R,ideal} = \frac{261.15\,K}{303.15\,K - 261.15\,K}$

$COP_{R,ideal} = 6.218$

The refrigeration cycle is irreversible, as $COP_{R} < COP_{R,ideal}$ .

A refrigerator operates on average for 10.0 hours an day. If the power rating is the refrigerator is 709 w how much electrical e

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

61257.6 kW per day

Explanation:

The rating of the refrigerator is given as : 709 w

This means the power consumption is 709 joules per second

The operating time is given as 10 hours.

Change hours to second as

1 hour = 3600 seconds

10 hours = 36000 seconds

Apply the rating as;

709 w = 1 s

? = 36000 seconds

perform cross product to get;

709 * 36000= 25524000 w

25524000 = 25524kW

For a day, 24 hours will be;

25524 kW = 10 hours

? =24 hours

={24*25524}/10 = 61257.6 kW per day

One AA battery in a flashlight stores 9400 J. The three LED flashlight bulbs consume 0.5 W. How many hours will the flashlight l

Effectus [21]

Answer:

time = 5.22 hr

Explanation:

Given data:

Energy of battery = 9400 J

Power consumed by three led bulb is 0.5 watt

we know Power is give as

$Power = \frac{ energy}{time}$

plugging all value and solve for time

$time = \frac{energy}{power}$

$time = \frac{9400}{0.5}$

time = 18,800 sec

in hour

1 hour = 3600 sec

therefore in 18,800 sec

$time = \frac{18800}{3600} = 5.22 hr$
