C. Calculation problems (12 marks each) 6. Generating electricity from a nuclear power plant A thermal heat at a rate of 1.2 GW and at a temperature of 450 C. This heat is used in an engine that is connected to the sea water at T 20°C as low temperature reservoir. The engine has an efficiency of 51%. nuclear power plant generates (A) What is the electrical power output of this power plant? (The electrical enerzy output is equal to...
System Model: Automotive Air Conditioning System Outside Air Temp: 45 oC Car Interior Air Temp: 22 oC Heat Load = 4.2 kJ/sec rate at which heat must go in to the air conditioner to be removed from the car’s interior Refrigerant: R134a HINT: Heat enters an air conditioning system where? Refrigerant 134a … - leaves the evaporator coil and enters the compressor as a saturated vapor at the evaporator pressure of 2.8 bars. - It leaves the compressor at...
Problem #1 (40 Marks) A refrigeration system is designed to maintain a cool space at -20°C in arn environment of +50°C. The wide temperature range is difficult to achieve with a single refrigerant, because the refrigerant will generally be at excessively high pressures at the top of the temperature range, and sub-atmospheric pressures at the bottom end The problem is solved with a 2-stage cascaded system that uses refrigerant 134a (R134a) and refrigerant 22 (R22) respectively for the high temperature...
Homework 7 heat transfer 2018-20 1) A horizontal tube of 12.5-mm dimeter with an outer srface temperature of 240°C is placed in a room with an air temperature of 20°C. Estimate the heat transfer rate per unit length of the tube due to free convection. 2) Air at -10°C flows at 10 m/s over the roof plate of two 5m length rooms whose air is at Too-200C. The roof plate is 0.20-m thick concrete (k = 0.6 w/ m. K)....
