Chapter 19.4, Problem 7CC
A device constructed to throw various objects can impart up to 500 joules of kinetic energy to the object being thrown. For a given mass, there is a maximum velocity that the device can throw the object. This is represented in the following diagram, and it fits a power law model. Velocities above the line cannot be achieved by the device, velocities below the line can.
Write a MATLAB program that will accept a value of mass [kg] and desired velocity [m/s] from the user and classify them as “Possible” or “Not Possible.” Three points on the line are labeled on the diagram. You must use polyfit to determine the equation of the line, and then use these values to do the classification.

- Q2: (15 Marks) A water-LiBr vapor absorption system incorporates a heat exchanger as shown in the figure. The temperatures of the evaporator, the absorber, the condenser, and the generator are 10°C, 25°C, 40°C, and 100°C respectively. The strong liquid leaving the pump is heated to 50°C in the heat exchanger. The refrigerant flow rate through the condenser is 0.12 kg/s. Calculate (i) the heat rejected in the absorber, and (ii) the COP of the cycle.
