The working temperature of a pair of heat pumps that are connected in series is between 300K and 600K degrees Celsius. When compared to the first heat pump, the efficiency of the second heat pump is three times higher. In this case, the second heat pump receives 20 kW of heat, and both the first and second heat pumps release 20 kW of heat. Calculate the input work for both heat pumps.

NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. A commercial refrigerator with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at -30°C by rejecting its waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at 18°C at a rate of 0.28 kg/s and leaves at 26°C. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 MPa and 65°C and leaves at 42°C. The inlet state of the compressor is 60 kPa and -34°C and the compressor is estimated to gain a net heat of 420 W from the surroundings. The heat exchanger loses no heat to the environment. 26°C 42°C Condenser Expansion valve Evaporator OL Water 18°C 1.2 MPa 65°C Oin W in Compressor 60 kPa -34°C Determine the COP of the refrigerator.

A heat pump operates with Refrigerant 134a as the working fluid. You are required to analyze its performance, and compare it with Camot heat pump. The data of the heat pump is as under: 23 - Thermodynamies-II Page 1 of 3 The heat pump is presently providing heating at a rate of 12 kW to maintain the interior of a building at 20°C. Outside temperature is 5°C. The refrigerant enters the compressor at 2.4 bar and increases the pressure to 8.0 bar. Efficiency of the compressor is 80%. a Temperatures at the principal states of the cycle, each °C b. Power input to the compressor, in kW c. Coefficient of performance Relate its performance with the specifications provided by the vendor i.e. COP = 8.5 and identify the possible reasons of differences. Draw Ts diagram
Using the ideas in heat pumps under cyclic process, thoroughly explain the following(with diagram if possible)
A refrigerator uses refrigerant-134a as the working fluid and operates on an ideal vapor compression refrigeration cycle between 0.18 and 0.7 MPa. The mass flow rate of the refrigerant is 72.4 g/s. Determine the power input to the compressor (in kW). Do not answer in image format
B) A reversible heat engine operates between two reservoirs at temperatures of 600°C and 40°C. The engine drives a reversible refrigerator which operates between reservoirs at temperatures of 40°C and -20°C. The heat transfer to the heat engine is 2000 kJ and the net work output for the combined engine refrigerator is 360 kJ. (i) Calculate the heat transfer to the refrigerant and the net heat transfer to the reservoir at 40°C. (ii) Reconsider (i) given that the efficiency of the heat engine and the C.O.P. of the refrigerator are each 40 per cent of their maximum possible values.
