Refrigerators to preserve perishable foods have long been one of the essential appliances in a household. The refrigeration system of the household refrigerator is basically based on the vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, as shown in Figure Q2.1. Among the important components of the vapor-compressions refrigeration cycle are a throttling valve (A) and a compressor (B). In this refrigeration system, tetrafluoroethane (R-134a) is used as the refrigerant. Condenser Evaporator Figure Q2.1: Basic components of a refrigeration system. (a) If the refrigerant enters A as a saturated liquid at 1100 kPa and leaves at 120 kPa, (i) Estimate the quality of the refrigerant at the exit of A. (ii) Calculate the temperature drop during the process. (iii)With appropriate assumptions, prove that the conservation of energy for A as follows the equation below, h2 (b) If the refrigerant enters B as a saturated vapor at 120 kPa with flow rate of 1.5 m³/min and leaves at 1100 kPa, (i) Calculate the mass flow rate of the refrigerant.

An automobile industry using piston cylinder arrangement for their operation it under goes a thermodynamic cycle which includes three processes with an initial state where pressure is 1.5 bar, volume is 2 m3 and internal energy equals to 480 kJ. The processes are as follows: 1)first stage to second stage: Compression with pV equals to constant to p2 is equals to 2 bar, U2 equals to 720 kJ 2)Second stage to third stage: work is equals to zero, and Q2-3 = - 150 kJ 3)Stage third to one: work is equals to 75 kJ. Neglecting kinetic energy and potential energy changes, find the heat transfer Q1-2 and Q3-1.

1.Two kilograms of air within a piston–cylinder assembly execute a Carnot power cycle with maximum and minimum temperatures of 750 K and 300 K, respectively. The heat transfer to the air during the isothermal expansion is 60 kJ. At the end of the isothermal expansion, the pressure is 600 kPa and the volume is 0.4 m3 . Assuming the ideal gas model for the air, determine (a) the thermal efficiency. (b) the pressure and volume at the beginning of the isothermal expansion, in kPa and m3 , respectively. (c) the work and heat transfer for each of the four processes, in kJ. (d) Sketch the cycle on p–V coordinates.
An oil pump operating at steady state delivers oil at a rate of 10 lb/s through a 1-in.-diameter exit pipe. The oil, which can be modeled as incompressible, has a density of 70 lb/ft3 and experiences a pressure rise from inlet to exit of 40 lb/in². There is no significant elevation difference between inlet and exit, and the inlet kinetic energy is negligible. Heat transfer between the pump and its surroundings is negligible, and there is no significant change in temperature as the oil passes through the pump. Determine the velocity of the oil at the exit of the pump, in ft/s, and the power required for the pump, in hp. Determine the power required for the pump, in hp.

Air within a piston-cylinder assembly executes a Carnot heat pump cycle, as shown in the figure below. For the cycle, TH = 600 K and TC = 300 K. The energy rejected by heat transfer at 600 K has a magnitude of 1000 kJ per kg of air. The pressure at the start of the isothermal expansion is 325 kPa. Assuming the ideal gas model for the air, determine: (a) the magnitude of the net work input, in kJ per kg of air, and (b) the pressure at the end of the isothermal expansion, in kPa.
Air is contained in a piston/cylinder device at an initial state where the volume is 1.7 m3, temperature is 250 K, and pressure is 454 kPa. In a portion of an engine cycle, air goes through the following two sequential processes: Process 1-2: It is heated while the system is allowed to expand at constant pressure, until the volume increases by 55%. Process 2-3: It is heated further to maintain a constant temperature while the volume increases by 55% again. To simplify this problem, you can treat air as an ideal gas with constant specific heats. a.) On your paper, draw these processes on a P-V diagram. Label states 1, 2, and 3. b.) During these two combined processes, how much heat is transferred to the air, in kJ?
