The given dehydration equation is,
Cadmiumnitrate tetrahydrate when heated dehydrates releasing the combined water as water vapor. The reaction produces 4 moles of gaseous product water vapor. So, the degree of disorder or randomness increases. Hence, the sign of change in entropy is positive.
This reaction is spontaneous at room temperature even if it is endothermic as the sign of change in entropy is positive.
Answer:
i) 0.5071 (kg/s)
ii) -1407.1 kj/kg
iii) 204.05 Kw
iv) 5.881
v) 9.238
Explanation:
Given Data:
evaporation temperature ( T ) = 4°c = 277.15 K
Condensation Temperature ( T ) = 34°c = 307.15 K
<em>n</em> ( compressor efficiency ) = 0.76
refrigeration rate = 1200 kJ.s^-1
i) determine the circulation rate of the refrigerant
m = =
------- 1
Q = 1200 Kj.s^-1
H2 = entropy at step 2 = 2508.9 (kJ / kg ) ( gotten from Table F )
H4 = entropy at step 4 = 142.4 ( kJ/ kg )
back to equation 1
m ( circulation rate of refrigerant ) = 0.5071 (kg/s)
ii) heat transfer rate in the condenser
Q = m ( H4 - H3 )
= 0.5071 ( 142.4 - 2911.27 )
= -1407.1 kj/kg
where H3 = H2 + ΔH23 = 2911.27 (kj/kg) ( as calculated )
iii) power requirement
w = m * ΔH23
= 0.5071 (kg/s) * 402.37 (kj/kg) = 204.05 Kw
where: ΔH23 = =
= 402.37 (kj/kg)
iv) coefficient of performance of a cycle
W = Qc / w
= 1200 Kj.s^-1/ 204.05 kw
= 5.881
v) coefficient of performance of a Carnot refrigeration cycle
= 277.15 / ( 307.15 - 277.15 )
= 9.238
