2-12 Two sites are being considered for wind power gener- ation. In the first site, the wind blows steadily at 7 m/s for 3000 hours per year, whereas in the second site the wind blows at 10 m/s for 2000 hours per year. Assuming the wind velocity is negligible at other times for simplicity, determine which is a better site for wind power generation. Hint: Note that the mass flow rate of air is proportional to wind velocity.

A group is considering installing a solar power station and has asked you for your recommendation if it should be a photovoltaic system or a solar thermal system. At this stage you are asked not to include cost factors. The single point design condition they have given you is for an incident solar radiation on the collector of 550 W/m2, a surrounding temperature of 18 C. The dead state for this problem should be taken as To = 291 K, Po = 1 bar. You can perform your analysis at steady state conditions. In addition to determining the power output and first law efficiency of the options, you have been requested to determine the exergy destroyed for each of them. The photovoltaic system has an efficiency of 0.15 defined as the power output/incident solar radiation. The basic photovoltaic collector is 1.1 m2 and losses heat from both the front and back surface. The edge area can be neglected. The convective heat transfer coefficient is 10 W/m2 K. The inverter and signal…

Q3/Answer by true or false : 1) All water systems using fan coil units are suitable in buildings requiring individual room control and consume less space compared to all air systems. 2) All air conditioning systems make use of an economizer. 3) With 100 % re-circulated air, some time, the room ADP is equal to coil ADP and the load on the coil is equal to the load on the room. 4) The sensible load affects dry bulb temperature, while the latent load affects the moisture content of the conditioned space. 5) A single zone, single duct, constant volume system can be used either for cooling or for heating, but not for both cooling and heating simultaneously.
Air refrigeration works between the pressure limits of 1 bar and 5 bar. The temperature of air entering thecompressor and expansion cylinder are 100C and 250C respectively. The expansion and compression follow thelaw pv1.3=Constant. Find the following:• The theoretical C.O.P of the refrigerating cycle.• If the load on the refrigerating machine is 10 tons, then find the amount of air circulated per minutethrough the system. Assuming the actual C.O.P is 50% of the theoretical C.O.P.• Length and diameter of the single acting compressor runs at 300 r.p.m and the volumetric efficiency is85%.
