A Carnot heat engine receives heat from a reservoir at 900⁰C at a rate of 700 kJ/min and rejects the waste heat to the ambient air at 27⁰C. The entire work output of the heat engine is used to drive a refrigerator that removes heat from the refrigerated space at -5⁰C and transfers it to the same ambient air at 27⁰C. Determine a) the maximum rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space and a) the total rate of heat rejection to the ambient air. Pls include illustration of cycle.
Evaluate the following two resources for energy generation via a heat engine (Rankine cycle steam turbine). From a thermal efficiency and a practical standpoint (all else equal) which would you recommend. a. An ocean location where Tcold is 0 degC and Thot from a thermal flow is 150degC. b. A land location where the geothermal steam resource is 450K and the system is exhausting to ambient temperature at 293K.
A homeowner is trying to decide whether to heat with a furnace rated at 95% efficiency or by an electrically powered heat pump. She lives in a town where electricity is produced by a coal-fired power plant that claims to operate with 1st law efficiency that is 55% of the Carnot limit. The heat pump's CoP is advertised to be 40% of the Carnot limit. For what range of outside temperatures To would the 2nd law efficiency of the furnace be greater than that of the heat pump? Assume T+ = 400°C, T- = T= 40°C. %3D
An ocean thermal gradient electric generating system is proposed for siting in Salalah. This system would operate a heat engine driven by heat flow from warm ocean water (cooled from 27 ⁰C to 25 ⁰C in the heating heat exchanger of the system), and cooled by heat flow to cold ocean water (which is heated from 3 ⁰C to 5 ⁰C in the cooling heat exchanger of the system). The ocean water used in the different parts of the heat engine is obtained from different depths of the surrounding sea. Using this heat engine electricity can be produced at 90% of the corresponding Carnot efficiency of the heat engine and heat capacity of water is 4.2 kJ/(kg.K). (i) What is the value of the Carnot efficiency of the heat engine? Explain the basis for selecting the parameter values used in calculating this value. [(ii) Should the cold ocean water flow through the engine at a rate of 100 million kg/min, what is the electric power output of the engine. (iii) What is the corresponding flow rate of warm ocean…
An inventor just invented a kind of heat engine that could operate at a maximum temperature of 1000K and minimum temperature of 300K. This heat engine is used to drive a heat pump which extracts heat from the reservoir at 300 K. Its capacity is operating at a rate twice that at which the engine rejects heat to it. If the efficiency of the engine is 40% of the maximum possible and the COP of the heat pump is 50% of the maximum possible, what is the temperature of the reservoir to which the heat pump rejects heat? What is the rate of heat rejection from the heat pump if the rate of heat supply to the engine is 50 kW?
3- Three refrigerators in Figure 4, shown with the designations A, B, and C are working in a temperature range of TH=32 °C and T1=3 °C. Among these three refrigerators, while the first refrigerator (A) is known to be a reversible, on the other hand, the other two (B and C) are known to be an irreversible and an impossible type, respectively. So, a) Calculate the COPR value of the refrigerator A under these temperature limits. b) Based on your Carnot calculations, give a COPR value for B which can be accepted as an irreversible refrigerator. And discuss why the value that you had chosen can be chosen as an irreversible refrigerator COP value. c) Again, based on your Carnot calculations, give a COPR value for C which can be accepted as an impossible refrigerator. And discuss why the value that you had chosen can be chosen as an impossible refrigerator COP value.

Heat Engine you are an engineering consultant who has been tasked with providing power to a remote village. After some initial evaluation it was determined that a simple four-device heat engine with water as the working fluid is the best option to produce electricity at the location. Natural gas and wood are abundantly available as a fuel source and 400 kW of power is needed. Design a heat engine to meet the stated requirements.
A building is being heated through the help of a Carnot heat pump and is required to be maintained at 20 degrees C always.
