In steam power plants, open feedwater heaters are frequently utilized to heat the feedwater by mixing it with steam bled off the turbine at some intermediate stage. Consider an open feedwater heater that operates at a pressure of 1000 kPa. Feedwater at 500C and 1000 kPa is to be heated with superheated steam at 2000C and 1000 kPa. In an ideal feedwater heater, the mixture leaves the heater as saturated liquid at the feedwater pressure. Determine the ratio of the mass flow rates of the feedwater and the superheated vapor for this case (m1/m2).

A refrigerator using R-134a is located in a 20°C room. Consider an ideal cycle, but the compressor is neither adiabatic nor reversible. Saturated vapor at -20°C enters the compressor, and the R-134a exits the compressor at 1017 kPa. The mass flowrate of refrigerant around the cycle is 0.2 kg/s and the COP is measured and found to be 2.3. Draw the T-s diagram, indicating the temperature and pressure lines. Determine the temperature at the outlet of the condenser and the power input to the compressor in kW. Determine, the temperature at the exit of the compressor, if the heat that the compressor losses is 11.53 kJ/kg. Note: Perform energy balance. For this part, take 1017 kPa as 1000 kPa.
R134a enters the condenser of a residential heat pump at 850 kPa and 70°C at a rate of 0.020 kg/s and leaves at 750 kPa and 2°C. The refrigerant enters the compressor at 180 kPa and 8.0°C. Determine (a) the isentropic efficiency of the compressor (in %), (b) the rate of heat supplied to the heated room (in kW) and (c) the COP of the heat pump. Disregard any heat loss in the expansion valve and compressor as well as the change in potential and kinetic energy of the refrigerant in any part of the cycle.
A vapor-compression cycle is used as a refrigerator to extract 8 kW of heat from a cold space at 0°C and rejects heat into a space at 25°C. R-134a enters the compressor at 140 kPa superheated by 4°C above the saturation temperature and leaves at 900 kPa. It exits the condensor as a saturated liquid. Assume that pressure losses are negligible and that the compressor is isentropic. Report your answers to four significant digits using rounding. QUESTION 1 Report the maximum possible COP. QUESTION 3 Report the power required by the compressor. QUESTION 2 Report the mass flow rate in kg/s. QUESTION 4 Report the COP for the cycle.
Compressor as the core part of a domestic air conditioner is using Refrigerant-134a as ns working fluid. The refrigerant enters the compressor at 140 kPa and –13°C with the required power input of 120 kW, and it is compressed to the condenser pressure and temperature of 1000 kPa and 60°C respectively. Evaluate if the adiabatic compressor is able to deliver compressed air at a minimum rate of 5 kg/s. Justify your answer with relevant calculations.
The 7FA gas turbine manufactured by General Electric is reported to have an efficiency of 35.9 percent in the simple-cycle mode and to produce 159 MW of net power.
