Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 4.9P
Radioactive wastes are temporarily stored in a spherical container, the center of which is buried a distance of 10 m below the earth’s surface. The outside diameter of the container is 2 m, and 500 W of heat are released as a result of radioactive decay. If the soil surface temperature is 20°C, what is the outside surface temperature of the container under steady-state conditions? On a sketch of the soil–container system drawn to scale, show representative isotherms and heat flow lines in the soil.

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.
