A rigid container with 6 m × 9 m × 3 m can be considered a closed system in which the container's initial air pressure and temperature are 110 kPa and 32°C, respectively. A cooling coil is installed outside one of the container walls (Figure Q1) to reduce the container's air temperature at a specified value. The cooling coil removes 4500 J/s of heat from the container, and a 1000 W fan is supplied with electrical power to distribute the cold air in the container. The container absorbs 1500 W heat from warmer outdoor due to heat transfer through the walls. For air, take c, = 0.718 kJ/kg.K and R= 0.287 kJ/kg.K. a) Find the mass of the air in the container (kg). b) Determine the time required to reduce the container's air temperature to 24°C (minutes) and the corresponding electrical power to operate the fan (kWh). c) If the container's air is reduced to 26°C instead, determine the time required to accomplish this (minutes) and the corresponding electrical power to operate the fan (kWh). d) Calculate the percentage of saving in electricity power between part (a) and part (b) (%).

A-C line Liquid R-134a A rigid container containing 6.6 kg of saturated liquid R-134a at 24°C is used to fill an air-conditioning system. A valve is opened and allows liquid R-134a to escape the tank into the A-C line until only 0.49 kg of R-134a remains in the tank, at which point the valve is closed. During the process, heat transfer is allowed to occur to maintain the tank temperature at 24°C. What is the quality of the refrigerant inside the tank at the end of the process? What is the total heat transfer for this process? KJ
Water is being heated in a closed pan on top of a range while being stirred by a paddle wheel. During the process, 34.59 kJ of heat is transferred to the water, and 8.01 kJ of heat is lost to the surrounding air. The paddle-wheel work amounts to 540.56 N ∙ m. Determine the final energy of the system if its initial internal energy is 11.95 kJ.
(Section B) A thermodynamic system contains piston-cylinder arrangement with 0.02 m3 of air at 50°C and 400 kPa. During this process heat is added in an amount of 50 kJ and the work is done by a paddle wheel until the temperature reaches 700°C. If the pressure iss kept constant how much paddle-wheel work must be added to the air?
The compressors of a production facility maintain the compressed-air lines at a (gauge) pressure of 700 kPa at sea level where the atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. The average temperature of air is 20°C at the compressor inlet and 24°C in the compressed-air lines. The facility operates 4200 hours a year, and the average price of electricity is $0.078/kWh. Taking the compressor efficiency to be 0.8, the motor efficiency to be 0.92, and the discharge coefficient to be 0.65, determine the energy and money saved per year by sealing a leak equivalent to a 3-mm-diameter hole on the compressed-air line.
An inventor proposes to make a heat engine using water/ice as the working substance, taking advantage of the fact that water expands as it freezes. A weight to be lifted is placed on top of a piston over a cylinder of water at 1°C. The system is then placed in thermal contact with a low-temperature reservoir at -1°C until the water freezes into ice, lifting the weight. The weight is then removed and the ice is melted by putting it in contact with a high-temperature reservoir at 1°C. The inventor is pleased with this device because it can seemingly perform an unlimited amount of work while absorbing only a finite amount of heat. Explain the flaw in the inventor's reasoning, and use the Clausius-Clapeyron relation to prove that the maximum efficiency of this engine is still given by the Carnot formula, 1 -Tc/Th.

Water flows through a showerhead steadily and exits at a volumetric flow rate of2.6gpm. An electric resistance heater placed in the water pipe heats the water from61°F to 110°F as shown in the figure below. Determine the electrical power requiredby the heater.
