An inventor claims to have developed a refrigerator that at steady state requires a net power input of 1.1 horsepower to remove

12,000 Btu/h of energy by heat transfer from the freezer compartment at 0°F and discharge energy by heat transfer to a kitchen at 70°F. Evaluate this claim.

Answer:

The inventor's claim is false in the sense that no thermal machine can violate the first thermodynamic law.

Explanation:

The inventor's claim could not be possible as no thermal machine can transfer more heat than the input work consumed. If we expose the thermal efficiency:

n=Q out / W in

Where Q and W both must be in the same power unit, so we will convert the remove heat from BTU/hr to hp:

12000 BTU/hr = 4.72 hp

Therefore by comparing, we notice that the removing heat of 4.75 hp is large than the delivered work of 1.11 hp. By evaluating the efficiency:

[tex]n=4.75 hp / 1.1 hp  = 4.3 > 1[/tex]

Steam enters an adiabatic condenser (heat exchanger) at a mass flow rate of 5.55 kg/s where it condensed to saturated liquid wat
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The minimum mass flow rate will be "330 kg/s".

Explanation:

Given:

For steam,

m_{s}=5.55 \ kg/s

\Delta h=2491 \ kg/kj

For water,

\Delta T=10^{\circ}C

(Cp)_{w}=4.184 \ kJ/kg^{\circ}C

They add energy efficiency as condenser becomes adiabatic, with total mass flow rate of minimal vapor,

⇒  m_{s}\times (\Delta h)=M_{w}\times(Cp)_{w}\times \Delta T

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒  5.55\times 2491=M_{w}\times 4.184\times 10\\

⇒  13825.05=M_{w}\times 41.84

⇒  M_{w}=330 \ kg/s

An orchestra is having a recording done of 2 performances in the same concert hall. The first show is sold out. They struggled t
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

yes, the recordings sound is same

Explanation:

given data

recording done = 2 performances

1st  show = sold out

2nd show =  lightly attended

to find out

recordings sound the same and why

solution

as per given in

  • 1st show is sold out it mean in this case concert hall is full so that recording sound should be high here
  • 2nd case only few people are attended and struggle for ticket  and orchestra

it mean it sound performance so in both case recording sound will be same

because we do not other all are sitting at front row or they sit as they want

Water is boiled in a pot covered with a loosely fitting lid at a location where the pressure is 85.4 kPa. A 2.61 kW resistance h
eimsori [14]

Answer:

t = 6179.1 s = 102.9 min = 1.7 h

Explanation:

The energy provided by the resistance heater must be equal to the energy required to boil the water:

E = ΔQ

ηPt = mH

where.

η = efficiency = 84.5 % = 0.845

P = Power = 2.61 KW = 2610 W

t = time = ?

m = mass of water = 6.03 kg

H = Latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.26 x 10⁶ J/kg

Therefore,

(0.845)(2610 W)t = (6.03 kg)(2.26 x 10⁶ J/kg)

t = \frac{1.362\ x\ 10^7\ J}{2205.45\ W}

<u>t = 6179.1 s = 102.9 min = 1.7 h</u>
