B. Evaporator pressure
C. Spring pressure
D. Bulb pressure

The type of pressure or force that does not act on a TXV diaphragm.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The type of pressure or force that does not act on a TXV diaphragm is Head Pressure.
Explanation of Solution
TXV is a thermostatic expansion valve. It is a component which is used in a refrigeration and air conditioning cycle. It is used for the expansion of refrigerant from the condenser pressure to the evaporator pressure. It controls the amount of refrigerant that which has to be fed from condenser to evaporator. Thermal sensors are installed in this type of expansion device, which maintains a constant superheat in the evaporator.
TXV expansion valve consists of a valve body, a diaphragm, spring, needle and seat, and different types of sensors. The diaphragm which is used in this expansion valve measures the evaporator pressure. The seat in the valve body of a TXV valve is stationary. The needle has an ability to move in the diaphragm. The pressure caused by the bulb acts on the diaphragm and from the other side, its pressure is applied by the evaporator and the spring. The diaphragm moves up and down due to these pressures applied by the different components of TXV. These pressure forces regulate the valve needle at a regular time to open and close.
Therefore, Evaporator pressure, Bulb pressure, and Spring pressure are the active forces which work to move the needle in a TXV diaphragm.
Conclusion:
The pressure or force that does not act on a TXV diaphragm is Head Pressure.

Assume three cases of damping ratio: Case (A) ξ = 0%; Case (B) ξ = 2%; Case (C) ξ = 5%. The systems are initially at rest. Thus, the initial conditions are u(t = 0) = 0 and ̇u(t = 0) = 0. The systems are subjected to the base acceleration that was provided in the ElCentro.txt file (i.e., first column). For the systems in Case (A), Case (B), and Case (C) and for each natural period compute the peak acceleration, peak velocity, and peak displacement responses to the given base excitation. Please, use the Newmark method for β = 1/4 (average acceleration) to compute the responses. Create three plots with three lines in each plot. The first plot will have the peak accelerations in y-axis and the natural period of the system in x-axis. The second plot will have the peak velocities in y-axis and the natural period of the system in x-axis. The third plot…arrow_forward

The heat sink is to dissipate 12W of heat, and the base temp of the ehat sink is not to exceed 60 degrees C. Assuming the fins and the base plate to be nearly isothermal and the radiation heat transfer to be negligible, determine the minimum free-stream velocity the fan needs to supply to avoid overheating.

The torque of machine varies in a cyclic manner over a period of 2 revolutions. The torque rises from 650 N-m to 2200 N-m uniformly during 110° and remains constant for the following 270°. It then falls uniformly to 600 N-m during the next 100° and remains constant for the end cycle, the cycle being repeated thereafter. Determine the power required to drive the machine and percentage fluctuation in speed, if the driving torque applied to the shaft is constant and the mass of the flywheel is 180 kg with radius of gyration of 35 cm.
