An ice maker operating at steady state makes ice from liquid water at 32°F. Assume that 144 Btu/lb of energy must be removed by heat transfer to freeze water at 32°F and that the surroundings are at 79.0°F. The ice maker consumes 1.4 kW of power. Determine the maximum rate that ice can be produced, in Ib/h, the corresponding rate of heat rejection to the surroundings, in Btu/h, and the maximum coefficient of performance of the cycle.

An object whose mass is 90 lb is projected straight upward from the surface of the earth and reaches a height of 900 ft when its velocity reaches zero. The only force acting on the object is the force of gravity. The acceleration of gravity is g = 32.2 ft/s². Determine the initial kinetic energy of the object, in ft-lbf, and the initial velocity of the object, in ft/s. Step 1 Determine the initial kinetic energy of the object, in ft-lb₁. KE= i ft-lbf
