4. A water chiller provides 100 tons 3.516 kw/ton of refrigeration to cool water to a temperature of 12.10 C for an air conditioning system. The heat extracted from the water is to be rejected in a cooling tower at 35.4°C, Assuming that the chiller operates on an ideal vapour refrigeration cycle with the temperature in the evaporator equal to the chilled water temperature and the saturation temperature in the condenser equal to the cooling tower water temperature, determine (a)...
Example 7.17 Calculate the minimum work required to chill 2 kg of drinking water from a temperature of 25°C to 2°C. The Cp of water as 4.184 kJ/kg.K. Problem 2: ( 2 Points) Example 7.18 A novel reversible heat engine plot on a T-s diagram is as circle. The maximum and minimum temperatures are 1100 K and 200 K, respectively and the maximum entropy change in the cycle is 2 kJ/K. Calculate the heat added to the cycle, heat rejected,...
A two-pipe direct return chilled water system with an expansion tank is used to circulate water for cooling three identical loads in a commercial building. Each load is connected with a balancing valve, zone valve and thermostat. Given that the cooling capacity of each load is 50 kW, density of water 1000kg/m3, a specific heat of water Cpw 4.185 kJ/kg K and gravitational constant 10 m/s2. (a) Sketch a schematic of the system illustrating all the components. (6%) Legend Expansion...
Internal Flow Homework 1 Cooling water available at 10°C is used to condense steam at 30°c in the condenser of a power plant at a rate of 0.60 kg/s by circulating the cooling water through a bank of 5-m-long 1.2-cm-internal-diameter thin copper tubes. Water enters the tubes at a mean velocity of 4 m/s, and leaves at a temperature of 24°C. The tubes are nearly isothermal at 30°C. Determine the average heat transfer coefficient between the water and the tubes,...
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...
Combined cycle power plants are common because of their high efficiency and scalability. They typically combine a gas turbine cycle (the Brayton Cycle) with a steam turbine cycle (the Rankine Cycle) [1]. The goal of this project is to determine the operating efficiency and profitability of a realistic combined cycle power plant. The power plant is as follows: 1. A natural gas-fired Brayton cycle with mÛ air,Br = 1.25 kg s−1 . (a) Ambient air at 1 bar and 300...
The solution belongs to the 1st question, i need the solution for the 2nd question. 1. A single cylinder 1.6 lt, spark ignition engine is operating on the ideal Otto cycle at a compression ratio of 9. The ambient air around the engine is at 1 bar and 20 °C and the fuel consumption of the engine is 13 L/h gasoline at 5600 rpm. Evaluate a. The highest pressure and temperature in the cylinder throughout the cycle b. Net work...
you can skip task 1 (3) because its a code in matlab. Task 1: You were asked to check up the status of the water system. Water at 24 °C is to be pumped from a Lower reservoir with 100 m elevation to another reservoir at a higher elevation 112 m through 150-m-long pipe as shown in Figure (1). The pipe is made of steel, and the diameter ofthe pipe is equal to 30 cm water is to be pumped...
