Saturated refrigerant-134a vapor at 15 psia is compressed

Saturated refrigerant-134a vapor at 15 psia is compressed Saturated refrigerant-134a vapor at 15 psia is compressed reversibly in an adiabatic compressor to 80 psia. Determine the work input to the compressor. What would your answer be if the refrigerant were first condensed at constant pressure before it was compressed? Is this the question you were […]

Replacing incandescent lights with energy-efficient fluorescent

Replacing incandescent lights with energy-efficient fluorescent Replacing incandescent lights with energy-efficient fluorescent lights can reduce the lighting energy consumption to one-fourth of what it was before. The energy consumed by the lamps is eventually converted to heat, and thus switching to energy-efficient lighting also reduces the cooling load in summer but increases the heating load […]

Oxygen (O2) gas within a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes an e Oxygen (O2) gas within a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes an expansion from a volume V1= 0.01 m3 to volume V2 = 0.03 m3. The relationship between pressure and volume during the process is p=AV-1+B, where A= 0.06 bar.m3 and B= 3.0 bar. For the O2, determine […]

Operation of an MHD converter requires an electrically

Operation of an MHD converter requires an electrically Operation of an MHD converter requires an electrically conducting gas. It is proposed to use helium gas ?oseeded?? with 1.0 mole percent cesium. The cesium is partly ionized (Cs ??Cs` ??e?) by heating the mixture to 1800 K, 1 MPa, in a nuclear reactor to provide free […]
