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:

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

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

An AM radio transmitter operating at 3.9 MHz is modulated by frequencies up to 4 kHz. What are the maximum upper and lower side

Mrrafil [192]

Answer:

Total bandwidth: 8 kHz

Explanation:

Data provided:

Transmitter frequency: 3.9 MHz

Modulation up to: 4 kHz

Solution:

For the upper side frequencies:

Upper side frequencies = 3.9 × $10^{6}$ + 4 × 10³

Upper side frequencies = 3.904 MHz

For the lower side frequencies:

Lower side frequencies = 3.9 × $10^{6}$ - 4 × 10³

Lower side frequencies = 3.896 MHz

Consequently, the total bandwidth is computed as:

Total bandwidth = upper side frequencies - lower side frequencies

Total bandwidth = 8 kHz

Write cout statements with stream manipulators that perform the following:

grin007 [157]

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;
