To develop the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the ideal gas law, mass flow rate and total enthalpy.

The gas ideal law is given as,

PV=mRT

Where,

P = Pressure

V = Volume

m = mass

R = Gas Constant

T = Temperature

Our data are given by

T_1 = 38\°C

T_2 = 14\°C

\eta = 97\%

\dot{v} = 510m^3/kg

Note that the pressure to 38°C is 0.06626 bar

PART A) Using the ideal gas equation to calculate the mass flow,

PV = mRT

\dot{m} = \frac{PV}{RT}

\dot{m} = \frac{0.6626*10^{5}*510}{287*311}

\dot{m} = 37.85kg/min

Therfore the mass flow rate at which water condenses, then

\eta = \frac{\dot{m_v}}{\dot{m}}

Re-arrange to find \dot{m_v}

\dot{m_v} = \eta*\dot{m}

\dot{m_v} = 0.97*37.85

\dot{m_v} = 36.72 kg/min

PART B) Enthalpy is given by definition as,

H= H_a +H_v

Where,

H_a= Enthalpy of dry air

H_v= Enthalpy of water vapor

Replacing with our values we have that

H=m*0.0291(38-25)+2500m_v

H = 37.85*0.0291(38-25)-2500*36.72

H = 91814.318kJ/min

In the conversion system 1 ton is equal to 210kJ / min

H = 91814.318kJ/min(\frac{1ton}{210kJ/min})

H = 437.2tons

The cooling requeriment in tons of cooling is 437.2.

Vivian's Violins has sales of $326,000, contribution margin of $184,000 and fixed costs total $85,000. Vivian's Violins net oper
frosja888 [35]

Based on the calculations, Vivian's Violins net operating income is equal to: D. $99,000.

<h3>How to calculate net operating income?</h3>

Mathematically, the net operating income of an individual or business firm can be calculated by using this formula:

Net operating income = Contribution margin - Total fixed costs

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Sales = $326,000
  • Contribution margin = $184,000
  • Fixed costs total $85,000

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

Net operating income = $184,000 - $85,000

Net operating income = $99,000.

A large heat pump should upgrade 5 MW of heat at 85°C to be delivered as heat at 150°C. Suppose the actual heat pump has a COP o
AysviL [449]

Answer:

W=2 MW

Explanation:

Given that

COP= 2.5

Heat extracted from 85°C  

Qa= 5 MW

Lets heat supplied at 150°C   = Qr

The power input to heat pump = W

From first law of thermodynamics

Qr= Qa+ W

We know that COP of heat pump given as

COP=\dfrac{Qr}{W}

2.5=\dfrac{5}{W}

2.5=\dfrac{5}{W}

W=2 MW

For Carnot heat pump

COP=\dfrac{T_2}{T_2-T_1}

2.5=\dfrac{T_2}{T_2-(273+85)}

2.5 T₂ -  895= T₂

T₂=596.66 K

T₂=323.6 °C
