Problem 1: Two reversible refrigeration cycles are arranged in series. The first cycle receives energy by heat transfer from a cold reservoir at temperature Tc and rejects energy by heat transfer to a reservoir at an intermediate temperature T greater than Te. The second cycle receives energy by heat transfer from the reservoir at temperature T and rejects energy by heat transfer to a higher-temperature reservoir at TH. Obtain an expression for the coefficient of performance of a single reversible...
A reversible power cycle whose thermal efficiency is 39% receives 50 kJ by heat transfer from a hot reservoir at 310oC and rejects energy by heat transfer to a cold reservoir at temperature TC. Determine the energy rejected, in kJ, and TC, in oC. Determine the entropy production for the cycle, σcycle, in kJ/K.
Operating in series are two reversible heat pumps. Heat transfer
gives energy to the first cycle from a cold reservoir at 105 K and
rejects energy by heat transfer to a reservoir at an intermediate
temperature T greater than 105 K. The second cycle receives energy
by heat transfer from the reservoir at T and rejects energy by heat
transfer to a higher-temperature reservoir at 1200 K. If the heat
pump cycles have the same co-efficient of performance, calculate:
