You are required to measure the temperature of exhaust gas from a petrol engine. During the measurement, the thermocouple reads 400°C while the temperature of the exhaust pipe is 350°C. The emissivity of the thermocouple is 0.7 and the convection heat transfer coefficient of the flow over the thermocouple is 90 W/m²-K. Calculate the actual temperature of the exhaust gas.

A six-cylinder refrigerant 22 compressor operating at 29 r/s indicate a refrigerating capacity of 96.4 kW and a power requirement of 28.9 kW at an evaporating temperature of 5°C and condensing temperature of 50°C. The performance data are based on 3°C liquid sub-cooling and 8°C superheating of the suction gas entering the compressor. The cylinder bore is 67 mm and the piston stroke is 57 mm. Compute (a) the clearance volumetric efficiency if the clearance volume is 4.8 percent, (b) the actual volumetric efficiency, and (c) the compression efficiency.
1. .Mexico's metro requires the implementation of an air conditioning system for each of its cars. On the hottest days the air inside the car can reach 45°C. A temperature of 25°C is expected to be achieved to keep passengers satisfied. A car measures 17 m x 2.5 x 2. In order to make the decision on the air conditioning system to install, the engineering director has asked to calculate: A. Amount of energy to be removed from the car when the air is at 45°C and the car is empty. B. Amount of energy to withdraw when the car is full (approx. 130 people with a volume of 0.06 m3/person). Each person releases 30 kJ while in the car. C. Power of a system that removes the estimated energy A and B in less than 1 minute.

The winter air conditioning system has a preheat coil, an air washer, and a reheat coil as processing units. It supplies air at 38°C db-temperature to a space maintained at 21°C db-temperature and 13°C wb-temperature. The sensible and latent heat loads on the space are 50 kW and 25 kW, respectively. Of the return air from the space, 40% by dry air mass is discharged to the ambient and replaced with fresh outdoor air at 2°C db-temperature and 95% relative humidity. In the preheater, the air is heated to a db-temperature of 21°C. Assume that the water added in the air washer is at the wb-temperature of the air entering it. The pressure is constant at 95 kPa.
