A Carnot vapor refrigeration cycle operates between thermal reservoirs at 40 ⁰F and 100 ⁰F. Determine the coefficient of performance.
An air conditioner is a device used to cool the inside of a home. It is, in essence, a refrigerator in which mechanical work is done and heat removed from the (cooler) inside and rejected to the (warmer) outside. A home air conditioner operating on a reversible Carnot cycle between the inside, absolute temperature T2, and the outside, absolute tempera- ture T1 > T2, consumes P joules/sec from the power lines when operating continuously. (a) In one second, the air conditioner absorbs Q2 joules from the house and rejects Q1 joules outdoors. Develop a formula for the efficiency ratio Q2/P in terms of T1 and T2. (b) Heat leakage into the house follows Newton's law Q = A(T, – T2). Develop a formula for T, in terms of T1, P, and A for continuous operation of the air conditioner under constant outside temperature T and uniform (in space) inside temperature T2. (c) The air conditioner is controlled by the usual on-off thermostat and it is observed that when the thermostat set at 20°C and an…

True or false Heat is transferred to a system by either a cheap commercially available air-sourced heat pump with coefficient of performance of just 1.5, or an expensive 100% efficient electrical resistance heater. The loss of Carnot Work Potential (Exergy destruction, or T0Sloss term) is minimum when heat is added by the cheap commercial heat pump.

Heat engine and refrigerator. Consider a heat engine operating between temperatures Th and Tj. During each cycle with time At, work W is extracted, so Pout = W/At. (a) Assuming the processes are all reversible, what is the efficiency of this heat engine, n = Wout/Qn? (b) Now assume that the low temperature of the heat engine is lowered by a reversible refrigerator, such that the heat engine operates between Th and T. The refrigerator takes input power Pin = Win/At and operates between T and T, where Ti < T. Draw an energy- entropy flow diagram. (c) Calculate the net efficiency (Wout - Win)/Qh. Is the efficiency of this system higher, lower, or the same as your answer for (a)?

Data are provided for two reversible refrigeration cycles. One cycle operates between hot and cold reservoirs at 27°C and 3°C, respectively. The other cycle operates between the same hot reservoir at 27°C and a cold reservoir at -35°C. The refrigerator removes the same amount of energy by heat transfer from its cold reservoir. Determine the ratio of the net work input values of the two cycles, WCycle,2 Wcycle,1
