Refrigerant-134a enters a compressor at 100 kPa and –24°C with a flow rate of 1.450 m3/min and leaves at 800 kPa and 60°C. Determine the mass flow rate of R-134a and the power input to the compressor. Use data from the refrigerant tables. Heat transfer with the surroundings is negligible. Neglect kinetic and potential energy changes. (Round the final answers to three decimal places.) The mass flow rate of R-134a is ______ kg/s. (Round the final answer to three decimal places.) The power input to the compressor is_____  kW. (Round the final answer to two decimal places.)
A property owner on a lake is given an aluminum dock for his property. Unfortunately the dock is too large and heavy to move over land. Instead the owner has this idea (which his family thinks is insane) to move the dock by water. The dock is 20 ft long, 3ft wide, and weighs 350 lbs. The owner decides to float the dock using 50 gallon plastic drums filled with air. a) (5 points) How many 50 gallon drums are required to float the dock? b) (3 points) How many would you recommend the home owner actually use and in what configuration? Why?
A large water tank is being filled from a water source as shown in the figure below with a desired flow rate of 20 L/min. H₁=8 m D+=15 m Hw=2 m 2 m 9m Pipe is 4" dia, copper P Water source (assume V=0) 2m- a) (2 Points) Is the flow laminar or turbulent? b) (6 points) What are the major losses in the pipe? c) (3 Points) How much power (in Watts) does the pump need to be to fill the tank? d) (2 Points) If the pump is 93% efficient, how much power must be supplied to the pump? e) (2 Points) If we considered minor losses, would it take more time, less time or the same amount of time to fill the tank? Explain why (in words, no math)
