- A heat engine cycle is executed with steam within the saturation dome between the pressure limits of 5 MPa and 2 MPa. If heat is supplied to the heat engine at a rate of 380 kJ/s, the maximum power output of this heat engine amounts to kW (round off to 4 decimal places), while the maximum thermal efficiency of the heat engine is equal to (round off to 6 decimal places), if the processes that occurred were reversible.arrow_forwardDetermine the second law efficiency of the heat engine operating between 750 oC and 25 oC.

- Ammonia refrigerant circulates in a refrigeration system with one compressor serving two evaporators where one evaporator carries a load of 35 kW at 10°C and the other a load of 70 kW at -5°C. A back pressure valve reduces the pressure in the 10°C evaporator to that of the -5°C evaporator. The condensing temperature is 37°C. Calculate the mass of the refrigerant in kg/s. (Use h₂ = h1 + 203.7586 kJ/kg)arrow_forwardThe maximum efficiency of a heat engine works between 660 K and 323 K isarrow_forwardA refrigeration system uses a water-cooled condenser for rejecting the waste heat. The system absorbs heat from a space at 25°F at a rate of 21,000 Btu/h. Water enters the condenser at 65°F at a rate of 1.45 lbm/s. The COP of the system is estimated to be 1.9. Determine the power input to the system in kW.arrow_forward
- The heat pump with a power input of 2000 kw draws heat from a heat source at 70° C and gives heat to a boiler. Thanks to the heat given to the boiler, the saturated liquid water entering the boiler at 300 kPa pressure leaves the boiler as saturated steam at 300 kPa (3bar) pressure. Since the performance of the heat pump (y = COPe) is equal to 0.5 times the performance of the Carnot heat pump operating under the same temperature conditions, find the mass flow rate (kg / s) of the water flowing from the boiler. Note: The boiler works according to the open system SASA model. Changes in kinetic and potential energies for the boiler are negligible.arrow_forwardAn engineer is proposing a refrigeration system. The refrigeration system is claimed to remove 595 Btu/min of heat from a space at 38 °F, reject the heat at 98 °F, and use 1.4 hp of power. Is this process possible?arrow_forwardAn air refrigeration system having pressure ratio of 5 takes air at 0°C and 1 atm. It is compressed and then cooled to 19°C. A pressure drop of 5 kPa is measured in both cooler and refrigerator. If the efficiency of the compressor is 95% and that of the expander is 75%, determine the refrigeration capacity of the system TR, and the COP of the system if the flow of air is 7.5 kg/min. Assume compression and expansion processes to be isentropic.arrow_forward
- The heat engine, in which the working gas is air, performs a circular change. First, air at a temperature of 20 °C is isobarically expanded to temperature of 50 °C. After that, it's isochorically cooled back to the initial temperature and then finally compressed isothermally to the initial volume. What is the machine's efficiency?arrow_forwardIt is common knowledge that the temperature rises as it is compressed. An inventor thought about using this high temperature air to heat buildings. He used a compressor driven by an electric motor. The inventor claims that the compressed hot air system is 25% more efficient than a resistance heating system that provides an equivalent amount of heating. Is this claim valid, or is this just another perpetual motion machine?arrow_forwardQuestions 3 and 4 refer to the following situation. Air flows into the duct of air-conditioner at 101 kPa and 12° C at a rate of 17 m³/min. The diameter of the duct is 26 cm and heat is transferred to the air in the duct by the air-conditioner at a rate of 3 W. 3. The speed (rounded to two decimal places) of the air as it enters the duct is equal to: (a) 6, 15 m/s (b) 4,87 m/s (c) 4,44 m/s (d) 5,34 m/s (e) 7,75 m/s 4. The temperature (rounded to two decimal places) of the air as it exits the duct is equal to: (a) 20,96° C (b) 20,35° C (c) 20,76° C (d) 20,83° C (e) 20,51° Carrow_forward
