A Carnot heat engine receives heat from a reservoir at 900oC at a rate of 800 kJ/min and rejects the waste heat to the ambient a

ir at 27oC. The entire work output of the heat engine is used to drive a refrigerator that removes heat from the refrigerated space at -5oC and transfers it to the same ambient air at 27oC. Determine (a) the maximum rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space and (b) the total rate of heat rejection to the ambient air.

Answer:

a) $\dot Q_{L} = 4987.776\,\frac{kJ}{min}$ , b) $\dot Q = 5787.776\,\frac{kJ}{min}$

Explanation:

a) The Carnot heat engine's efficiency can be expressed as:

$\eta_{th} = \left(1-\frac{T_{L}}{T_{H}} \right)\times 100\,\%$

$\eta_{th} = \left(1-\frac{300.15\,K}{1173.15\,K} \right)\times 100\,\%$

$\eta_{th} = 74.415\,\%$

The energy utilized for operating the refrigerator is:

$\dot W = (0.744)\cdot \left(800\,\frac{kJ}{min}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{60}\,\frac{min}{s} \right)$

$\dot W = 9.92\,kW$

The refrigerator's coefficient of performance is determined by:

$COP_{R} = \frac{T_{L}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}$

$COP_{R} = \frac{268.15\,K}{300.15\,K-268.15\,K}$

$COP_{R} = 8.380$

The amount of heat extracted from the refrigerated area equals:

$\dot Q_{L} = \dot W\cdot COP_{R}$

$\dot Q_{L} = (9.92\,kW)\cdot \left(60\,\frac{s}{min} \right)\cdot (8.380)$

$\dot Q_{L} = 4987.776\,\frac{kJ}{min}$

b) The heat that the Carnot heat engine expels into the surrounding air amounts to:

$\dot Q_{L} = (1-0.744)\cdot \left(800\,\frac{kJ}{min} \right)$

$\dot Q_{L} = 204.8\,\frac{kJ}{min}$

The heat discharged from the refrigerator to the environment is:

$\dot Q_{H} = \dot W + \dot Q_{L}$

$\dot Q_{H} = (9.92\,kW)\cdot (60\,\frac{s}{min} ) + 4987.776\,\frac{kJ}{min}$

$\dot Q_{H} = 5582.976\,\frac{kJ}{min}$

The overall heat expulsion to the ambient air is then calculated as:

$\dot Q = 5582.976\,\frac{kJ}{min} + 204.8\,\frac{kJ}{min}$

$\dot Q = 5787.776\,\frac{kJ}{min}$

Let Deterministic Quicksort be the non-randomized Quicksort which takes the first element as a pivot, using the partition routin

Daniel [215]

For Deterministic Quicksort, which operates by selecting the first element as the pivot, consider a scenario where the pivot consistently divides the array into segments of 1/3 and 2/3 for all recursive calls. (a) The runtime recurrence for this case needs to be determined. (b) Use a recursion tree to justify that this recurrence resolves to Theta(n log n). (c) Provide distinct sequences of 4 and 13 numbers that prompt this behavior.

Write cout statements with stream manipulators that perform the following:

grin007 [219]

Answer:

A)cout<<setw(9)<<fixed<<setprecision(2)<<34.789;

B)cout<<setw(5)<<fixed<<setprecision(3)<<7.0;

C)cout<<fixed<<5.789E12;

D)cout<<left<<setw(7)<<67;

Explanation:

Stream Manipulators are special functions for use with the insertion (<<) and extraction (>>) operators on C++ stream objects, while the 'cout' statement outputs content to the standard output device in C++ programming.

setw: specifies the minimum width of the output field

setprecision: defines the number of decimal places for floating-point value formatting.

fixed: sets the format flag for floating-point streams.

left: left-aligns the output.

A) This statement shows the number 34.789 in a field that provides eight character spaces with two decimal precision. cout<<setw(9)<<fixed<<setprecision(2)<<34.789;

B) Here, the number 7.0 is displayed within six spaces with three decimal precision. cout<<setw(5)<<fixed<<setprecision(3)<<7.0;

C) This command prints 5.789e+12 in fixed-point format. cout<<fixed<<5.789E12;

D) This statement left-aligns the number 67 across a field of six spaces. cout<<left<<setw(7)<<67;

A 227 pound compressor is supported by four legs that contact the floor of a machine shop. At the bottom of each leg there is a

choli [191]

Answer:

1.312 in

Explanation:

The details provided in the question are:

The weight of the compressor, W is 227 pounds.

It has 4 legs.

The maximum permissible pressure is 42 psi.

Let F represent the force exerted by each leg.

Thus,

W = 4F,

or

227 pounds = 4F,

implying that:

F = 56.75 pounds.

Furthermore,

Force = Pressure × Area,

therefore:

56.75 pounds = 42 psi × πr² [ r signifies the radius of one leg]

Consequently, we find:

r² = 0.4301,

and thus:

r = 0.656;

resulting in a diameter equal to 2r = 2 × 0.656,

which equals 1.312 in.
