refrigerant 134a enters a compressor operating at steady state as saturated vapor at 0.12 MPa and exits at 1.2 MPa and 70 C at a

mass flow rate of 0.108kg/s. As the refrigerant passes through the compressor, heat transfer to the surroundings occurs at a rate of 0.32 kJ/s. Determine at steady state the power input to the compressor, in kW.

Answer:

the power input to the compressor is 7.19Kw

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem follow the steps below.

1. We will call 1 the refrigerant state at the compressor inlet and 2 at the outlet.

2. We use thermodynamic tables to determine enthalpies in states 1 and 2.

(note: Through laboratory tests, thermodynamic tables were developed, these allow to know all the thermodynamic properties of a substance (entropy, enthalpy, pressure, specific volume, internal energy etc ..)

through prior knowledge of two other properties such as pressure and temperature. )

h1[quality=1, P=0.12Mpa)=237KJ/Kg

h2(P=1.2Mpa, t=70C)=300.6KJ/kg

3. uses the first law of thermodynamics in the compressor that states that the energy that enters a system is the same that must come out

Q=heat=0.32kJ/s

W=power input to the compressor

m=mass flow=0.108kg/S

m(h1)+W=Q+m(h2)

solving for W

W=Q+m(h2-h1)

W=0.32+0.108(300.6-237)=7.19Kw

the power input to the compressor is 7.19Kw

A car with speed v and an identical car with speed 2v both travel the same circular section of an unbanked road. If the friction

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

$F'=\dfrac{F}{4}$

Explanation:

Let m is the mass of both cars. The first car is moving with speed v and the other car is moving with speed 2v. The only force acting on both cars is the centripetal force.

For faster car on the road,

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

v = 2v

$F=\dfrac{m(2v)^2}{r}$

$F=4\dfrac{m(v)^2}{r}$ ..........(1)

For the slower car on the road,

$F'=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$ ............(2)

Equation (1) becomes,

$F=4F'$

$F'=\dfrac{F}{4}$

So, the frictional force required to keep the slower car on the road without skidding is one fourth of the faster car.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

7.85 m/s^2

Explanation:

linear or tangential acceleration= dv/dt

⇒ $a_t= \frac{12.5-10}{3}$

=0.83 m/s^2

radial acceleration is given by = $\frac{v^2}{r}$

⇒ $a_r =\frac{12.5^2}{20}$

= 7.81 m/s^2

total acceleration

$a_T= \sqrt{a_t^2+a_r^2}$

putting values we get

$a_T= \sqrt{0.83^2+7.81^2}$

= 7.85 m/s^2

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 15.1 Mechanical Waves. Waves on a string are described by the following general equation y(

NeX [460]

Answer:

The transverse displacement is $y(1.51 , 0.150) = 0.055 m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The generally equation for the mechanical wave is

$y(x,t) = Acos (kx -wt)$

The speed of the transverse wave is $v = 8.25 \ m/s$

The amplitude of the transverse wave is $A = 5.50 *10^{-2} m$

The wavelength of the transverse wave is $\lambda = 0540 m$

At t= 0.150s , x = 1.51 m

The angular frequency of the wave is mathematically represented as

$w = vk$

Substituting values

$w = 8.25 * 11.64$

$w = 96.03 \ rad/s$

The propagation constant k is mathematically represented as

$k = \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}$

Substituting values

$k = \frac{2 * 3.142}{0. 540}$

$k =11.64 m^{-1}$

Substituting values into the equation for mechanical waves

$y(1.51 , 0.150) = (5.50*10^{-2} ) cos ((11.64 * 1.151 ) - (96.03 * 0.150))$

$y(1.51 , 0.150) = 0.055 m$
