Refrigerant-134a enters the coils of the evaporator of a refrigeration system as a saturated liquid–vapor mixture at a pressure

of 140 kPa. The refrigerant absorbs 180 kJ of heat from the cooled space, which is maintained at -10oC, and leaves as saturated vapor at the same pressure. Determine (a) the entropy change of the refrigerant, (b) the entropy change of the cooled space, and (c) the total entropy change for this process.

Response:

(a). The entropy change of the refrigerant is 0.7077 \frac{KJ}{K}

(b). The entropy change of the cooled area is dS_{space} = - 0.6844 \frac{KJ}{K}

(c). The overall entropy change, dS, is 0.0232 \frac{KJ}{K}

Clarification:

Provided parameters

Saturation pressure = 140 K pa

Saturation temperature referenced from property table

T_{sat} = - 18.77 °c =  - 18.77 + 273 = 254.23 K

(a). The change in entropy for the refrigerant is calculated by

dS_{ref} = \frac{Q}{T_{sat}}

Given that the heat absorbed by the refrigerant Q = 180 KJ

dS = \frac{180}{254.23}

dS = 0.7077 \frac{KJ}{K}

(b). The entropy change of the cooled space is

dS_{space} = - \frac{Q}{T_{space}}

T_{space} = - 10 °c = 263 K

dS_{space} = - \frac{180}{263}

dS_{space} = - 0.6844 \frac{KJ}{K}

(c). The total change in entropy is given by

dS = dS_{ref} + dS_{space}

dS = 0.7077 - 0.6844

dS = 0.0232 \frac{KJ}{K}

This represents the overall entropy change value.

A thermometer requires 1 minute to indicate 98% of the response to a unit step input. Assuming the thermometer to be a first ord
mote1985 [299]

Answer:

Time constant = 15.34 seconds

The thermometer indicates an error margin of 0.838°

Explanation:

Given

t = 1 minute = 60 seconds

c(t) = 98% = 0.98

According to the details provided, the thermometer functions as a first-order system.

The transfer function of such a system is expressed as;

C(s)/R(s) = 1/(sT + 1).

To determine the time constant, the step response must be evaluated.

This is defined as

r(t) = u(t) --- Applying Laplace Transformation

R(s) = 1/s

Replacing 1/s back into C(s)/R(s) = 1/(sT + 1).

What we have

C(s)/1/s = 1/(sT + 1)

C(s) = 1/(sT + 1) * 1/s

C(s) = 1/s - 1/(s + 1/T) --- Taking Inverse Laplace Transformation

L^-1(C(s)) = L^-1(1/s - 1/(s + 1/T))

Given that e^-t <–> 1/(s + 1) --- {L}

1 <–> 1/s {L}

Thus, the unit response c(t) = 1 - e^-(t/T)

Substituting 0.98 for c(t) and 60 for t

0.98 = 1 - e^-(60/T)

0.98 - 1 = - e^-(60/T)

-0.02 = - e^-(60/T)

e^-(60/T) = 0.02

ln(e^-(60/T)) = ln(0.02)

-60/T = -3.912

T = -60/-3.912

T = 15.34 seconds

It follows that the time constant = 15.34 seconds

The error signal is characterized by

E(s) = R(s) - C(s)

Where the temperature shifts at 10°/min; which equals 10°/60 s = 1/6

Thus,

E(s) = R(s) - 1/6 C(s)

Calculating C(s)

C(s) = 1/s - 1/(s + 1/T)

C(s) = 1/s - 1/(s + 1/15.34)

Note that R(s) = 1/s

Thus, E(s) turns into

E(s) = 1/s - 1/6(1/s - 1/(s + 1/15.34))

E(s) = 1/s - 1/6(1/s - 1/(s + 0.0652)

E(s) = 1/s - 1/6s + 1/(6(s+0.0652))

E(s) = 5/6s + 1/(6(s+0.0652))

E(s) = 0.833/s + 1/(6(s+0.0652)) ---- Taking Inverse Laplace Transformation

e(t) = 1/6e^-0.652t + 0.833

In a first-order system, a steady state condition is reached when the time is four times the time constant.

Thus,

Time = 4 * 15.34

Time = 61.36 seconds

Consequently, e(t) becomes

e(t) = 1/6e^-0.652t + 0.833

e(t) = 1/(6e^-0.652(61.36)) + 0.833

e(t) = 0.83821342824942664566211

e(t) = 0.838 --- Rounded off

Thus, the thermometer reveals an error of 0.838°

pantera1 [306]

Answer:

The air temperature should be similar in both regions.

Explanation:

Climate conditions differ globally. Additionally, factors such as distance from the ocean, landscape, and elevation influence these conditions.

If both areas are equidistant from the equator and close to the ocean, there is a high likelihood that they will have similar climate conditions, thus resulting in comparable temperature ranges.
