6. An engineer claims to have invented an improved com pressor. Air enters at 300 K,...
5-30 Air enters an adiabatic nozzle steadily at 300 kPa, 200°C, and 30 m/s and leaves at 100 kPa and 180 m/s. The inlet area of the nozzle is 80 cm². Determine (a) the mass flow rate through the nozzle, (b) the exit temperature of the air, and (c) the exit area of the nozzle. Answers: (a) 0.5304 kg/s, (b) 184.6°C, (c) 38.7 cm P = 300 kPa T, = 200°C Vi = 30 m/s A = 80 cm AIR...
A compressor works on a pressure of 105 kPa and temperature 300 K in a Brayton cycle and has an efficiency of 45%. The exhaust temperature is 700 K. Find the pressure ratio and the specific heat addition by the combustion for this cycle. The inlet pressure of an air compressor is 100 kPa, with temperature 290 K, and brings it to 600 kPa, after which the air is cooled in an intercooler to 330K by heat transfer to the...
-Rome can get pretty hot in the mid-summer! Most of the air conditioning units in the Tiber campus use the working fluid R-134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane), which is replaces the less environmentally-friendly R-12 of years ago. a) Illustrate the following air conditioning cycle, indicating material, heat, and work flows, as well as given/known temperatures and pressures: R-134a is pressurized to 10.2 bar in an adiabatic, reversible compressor. This high-pressure, hot refrigerant is condensed outside of the building using ambient air to a...
Q1
a) Company A designed a heat pump to
supply heat into a library in Canada during
winter, so that the library can maintain to be at 20°C. The heat
pump utilizes
12,000 L/min of Refrigerant-134a as the working fluid and absorb
heat from an
industrial water stream. The water stream enters the evaporator at
50°C and exits
at 25°C. The refrigerant enters the evaporator at 10°C with 90%
moisture content
and leaves at 20°C. There is no pressure drop in...
