Refrigerant 134a is the working fluid in a solar power plant operating on a Rankine cycle. Saturated vapor at 60 degree Celsius enters the turbine, and the condenser operates at a pressure of 6 bar. The rate of energy input to the collectors from solar radiation is 0.4 kW per m2 of collector surface area. Determine the minimum possible solar collector surface area, in m2, per kW of power developed by the plant.

Consider a two-stage cascade refrigeration system operating between -80 o C and 80 o C. Each stage operates on an ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle. Upper cycle use R-12 as working fluid, lower cycle use R-13. In the lower cycle refrigerant condenses at 0 o C, in the upper cycle refrigerant evaporates at -5 o C. If the mass flow rate in the lower cycle is 1 kg/s, determine the mass flow rate through the upper cycle. Group of answer choices 1.56 kg/s 2.46 kg/s 1.78 kg/s 2.30 kg/s
