Why do we study the reversed Carnot cycle even though it is not a realistic model for refrigeration cycles?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Why do we study the reversed Carnot cycle even it is not a realistic model for refrigeration cycles.
Explanation of Solution
A reversed Carnot cycle consists of an isentropic and isothermal process. Generally, the reversed Carnot cycle cannot be used an ideal model for refrigeration purpose since the isentropic process needed a maximum operational speed, but the isothermal process needed a very less operational speed.
But this cycle acts as a realistic model against which refrigeration cycles can be related. Also, the coefficient of performance of the reversed Carnot cycle gives the upper limit for the coefficient of performance of a refrigeration cycle which is functioning between the definite temperature limits.
Hence, the reversed Carnot cycle is considered for refrigeration cycles.

A spring package with two springs and an external force, 200N. The short spring has a loin of 35 mm. Constantly looking for spring for short spring so that total compression is 35 mm (d). Known values: Long spring: Short spring:C=3.98 N/mm Lo=65mmLo=87.4mmF=c·fTotal compression is same for both spring. 200 = (3.98(c1) × 35) + (c₂ × 35)
200 = 139.3 + 35c₂
200 - 139.3 = 35c₂
60.7 = 35c₂
c₂ = 60.7/35
Short spring (c₂) = 1.73 N/mm
According to my study book, the correct answer is 4.82N/mm
