It is proposed to reconfigure a refrigerator so that the condenser is in the garage, where the average yearly temperature is about 50oF. Assume a freezer temperature of 0oF, a minimum temperature difference of 10K for heat transfer, and an actual coefficient of performance of 60% that of a Carnot cycle.

An article stated that over its projected 30-year service life, a 4-kW roof PV system in California will reduce the production of CO2 that causes global warming by 433,000 lbm, sulfates that cause acid rain by 2900 lbm, and nitrates that cause smog by 1660 lbm. The article also claims that a PV roof will save 253,000 lbm of coal, 21,000 gallons of oil, and 27 million ft3 of natural gas.

- Good Day , Am struggling with the two questions below , please assit Question 1 A solar-power-tower plant is considered for Dakar, Senegal. Heliostats with a total area of 80,000 m2 are to be used to reflect solar radiation into a receiver. When the solar irradiation is 950 W/m2, steam is produced at 2 MPa and 400°C at a rate of 20 kg/s. This steam is expanded in a turbine to 20 kPa pressure. The enthalpy at the exit of the turbine is 2484.5 kJ/kg.(a) Determine the power output and the thermal efficiency of the plant when the solar radiation is 950 W/m2.(b) How much electricity can be produced per year if the average thermal efficiency is 15 % and the generator efficiency is 96 %?
