Computer processors work best when they are kept cold. You are interested in determining the cost feasibility of maintaining the processor at a temperature of -17.7C. Assume that the operation of the chip itself generates 10W of power and the processor is 5.1cm x 10.2 cm x 15.2 cm, with all sides exposed to air at 21.1 C. The air has a convective heat transfer coefficient of 10W/m2-K. The processor surface has an emissivity of 0.7. You are asked to size the refrigeration system to maintain the temperature of the processor. a. What is the load (in W) that your refrigeration system must be able to remove to maintain the processor at the steady-state temperature b. The coefficient of performance (COP) is defined as the ratio of the amount of refrigerant required to the amount of input power required. If the COP=3.5, what is the power required for the refrigeration unit. c. If the cost of electricity is 12 cents/kW-hr, estimate the annual cost of the refrigeration system, assuming that the computer is never shut off.

Quiz 1 2022-2023 (Evening) Q1 Air enters a window AC at 1 atm., 30 c and 80% RH at a rate of 10 m³/min, and it leaves as saturated air at 14c. Part of the moisture in the air that condenses during the process is also removed at 14 c. Plot the schematic and psychrometric figures of the process and determine the rates of heat and moisture removed from the air.
True or False? Justify your answer. A. In a rectangular drug delivery device that consists of a drug reservoir and a diffusion barrier made of a polymer gel, the steady state diffusion (mass transfer) rate through a barrier of thickness 1 cm was found to be 20 mg/day. If the barrier thickness were to be doubled keeping the reservoir drug concentration the same, the mass transfer rate would be 10 mg/day. B. In a spherical drug delivery device consisting of a core reservoir surrounded by a polymer gel barrier, the steady state diffusion (mass transfer) rate through a barrier of thickness 1 cm was found to be 20 mg/day. If the barrier thickness were to be doubled keeping the reservoir drug concentration the same, the mass transfer rate would be 10 mg/day.
Required information Problem 14.108 - Cooling Tower Assessment NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. The cooling water from the condenser of a power plant enters a wet cooling tower at 40°C at a rate of 91 kg/s. The water is cooled to 25°C in the cooling tower by air that enters the tower at 1 atm, 23°C, and 60 percent relative humidity and leaves saturated at 32°C. Neglect the power input to the fan. Use data from the psychrometric chart and tables. Problem 14.108.a - Cooling Tower Assessment Determine the volume flow rate of air into the cooling tower. m³/s. The volume flow rate of air is
PROBLEM 2 In general, the disposal of hot streams to the environment is not a good a practice due to the risk of violating EPA regulations and also, it represents as waste of potential useful energy. For example, raising the temperature of lakes, rivers, and atmosphere have negative consequences on the ecosystems. In this problem, a gas stream at 500°C contains eight percent mole carbon monoxide and the balance carbon dioxide. Before disposing this gas mixture stream into the atmosphere, it makes sense to recover some of its energy first. To achieve this we will use a heat exchanger where the gas stream flows across the tubes. Water flows inside the tubes entering at 25°C and it is fed at a ratio of 0.2 mole water per mole of the hot gas. The water is heating to its boiling point forming saturated steam at five bar. The steam produced can be used for heating or power generation in the facilities or as the feed for another unit operation. You can assume that heat exchanger is thermally…

3. Mass Transfer from a Pipe Wall. Air at 52.6 °C and 1 atm abs pressure passes through a pipe with naphthalene lining. The pipe's diameter in 25 mm. The vapor pressure of naphthalene at 52.6 °C is 1.0 mm Hg. The diffusivity in air of naphthalene at 0 °C is 5.16x106 m?/s. For a 0.20 m section of a pipe that is lined with naphthalene, calculate the exiting concentration if the entering air carries 0.001 kgmol/m of naphthalene and has a velocity of 0.30 m/s.
