A dual voltage/dual resistance AC hair dryer can be used with a 120 V or 230 V power supply. A switch allows the user to set the voltage (and hence the resistance) to the appropriate value. A tourist takes her 1530 W dual voltage hair dryer to Europe. She forgets to set the switch to 230 V. What power does the hair dryer consume before it starts to smoke?
W

Acompressor receives the shaft work to decrease the pressure of the fluid. a)- true b)- false

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?

Determine whether or not it is possible to compress air adiabatically from k to 140 kpa and 400 k. what is the entropy change during this process?
