An ideal refrigerator extracts 420 joules of heat from a reservoir at 280 K and rejects heat to a reservoir at 498 K. What is the ideal coefficient of performance and how much work is done in each cycle? COP = Number Work = Number Joules
Imagine you have a hot reservoir at a temperature of 89.0 °C, and cold reservoir at a temperature of 15.0 °C. Given their vast size, it is reasonable to assume the reservoirs\' temperatures will not change significantly if heat flows into or out of them. These reservoirs are then brought into thermal contact, during which 39210 J of heat flows from the hot reservoir to the cold reservoir. As a result of this heat exchange, what is the total change...
21 A Carnot heat engine receives heat from a reservoir at 700°C at a rate of 6 MW and rejects the waste heat to the ambient at 300 K, as shown in the figure. The entire net power output of the heat engine is used to drive a Carnot refrigerator that removes heat from the cold medium at -10°C and transfers it to the same ambient at 300 K. Determine:35235333333 a) The thermal efficiency of the heat engine. b) The...
SP3. A Carnot engine operating in reverse as a heat pump moves heat from a cold reservoir at 7°C to a warmer one at 22°C. a) What is the efficiency of a Carnot engine operating between these two temperatures? b) If the Carnot heat pump releases 250 J of heat into the higher-temperature reservoir e co in each cycle, how much work must be provided in each cycle? c) How much heat is removed from the 7°C reservoir in each...
A heat pump operating with R-134a is used to maintain an indoor temperature of 21°C using heat from the bottom of a lake that stays at 2°C. Assume an 80% efficient compressor. If the heat pump supplies 100 kW of energy to the building, calculate the required mass flow rate and COP for the heat pump. Calculate a few data points to plot the effect of a 10°C temperature range at the cold side on required mass flow rate and...
(12 pts) A heat pump operating on a cyclic process receives heat from a reservoir at 500°C and rejects the waste heat at a rate of 30 kW to the ambient air at 300 K. If the work output of the engine is 45 kw, determine if the cycle is possible, and if the cycle is reversible. Explain with calculations. Show calculations using both efficiency (Method 1) and Entropy generation (Method 2) analysis.
A hot reservoir with a temperature of 687 K is 0.58 m away from a cold reservoir with a temperature of 358 K. The two reservoirs are insulated from each other except for a rod of brass (k = 109 W/m-K) that has a cross-sectional area of 0.058 m2. The entire system is allowed to reach a steady-state condition. 1) How much energy is transferred by heat between the hot reservoir and the cold reservoir in ten minutes? J Submit...

Consider a heat pump that removes heat from a cold reservoir (such as the external ambient air) and deposits it into a hotter reservoir (such as your living room). Let's suppose that the outside air is at a temperature of 5 degree C, typical of a cool day here in New York. Let's also suppose that your living room is at 20 degree C. (a) What is the maximum efficiency of a heat pump operating between these two temperatures? (b)...
Question 12 PHYSICS 120 (a) Carefully explain the difference between irreversible and reversible processes. Also explain what the second law of thermodynamics dictates about reversible processes. (You may find it helpful to compare water freezing at 0 °C and super- cooled water freezing at-5 °C.) [5 marks A heat engine operates with an efficiency n = 0.30 between two energy reservoirs at temperatures of 450 K and 293 K. The engine does 90 J of work per cycle. (b) Draw...
