An air-conditioning system is used to maintain a house at 70°F when the temperature outside is 100°F. The house is gaining heat through the walls and the windows at a rate of 800 Btu/min, and the heat generation rate within the house from people, lights, and appliances amounts to 100 Btu/min. Determine the minimum power input required for this air- conditioning system.

Answer from: joeykyle05

Minimum power output required = 1.1977 hp

Explanation:

Given Data:

Temperature outside = 100°F.

House temperature = 70°F

Rate of heat gain(Qw) = 800 Btu/min

Generation rate within(Ql) = 100 Btu/min.

Converting the outside temperature 100°F from fahrenheit to ranking, we have;

1°F = 460R

Therefore,

100°F = 460+100

To = 560 R

Converting the house temperature 70°F from fahrenheit to ranking, we have;

1°F = 460R

Therefore,

70°F = 460+70

Th = 530 R

Consider the equation for coefficient of performance (COP) of refrigerator in terms of temperature;

COP =Th/(To-Th)

= 530/(560-530)

= 530/30

= 17.66

Consider the equation for coefficient of performance (COP) of refrigerator;

COP = Desired output/required input

= Q/Wnet

= Ql + Qw/ Wnet

Substituting into the formula, we have;

17.667 = (100 + 800)/Wnet

17.667 = 900/Wnet

Wnet = 900/17.667

= 50.94 Btu/min.

Converting from Btu/min. to hp, we have;

1 hp = 42.53 Btu/min.

Therefore,

50.94 Btu/min = 50.94 / 42.53

= 1.1977 hp =

Therefore, minimum power output required = 1.1977 hp

Answer from: nacmp890

the minimum power input required for this air- conditioning system is 1.20 hp.

Explanation:

Let W' be power input required for this air- conditioning system

Conversion factor;

Fahrenheit (°F) to Rankine (R)

1 °F = 460R

Let the source temperature of the air-conditioner be Th = 100°F

Th = 100 + 460 = 560R

Let the sink temperature of the air-conditioner be TL = 70°F

TL 70 + 460 = 530R

Q' = heat gain from the wall + heat generation rate.

Q' = (800 + 100)Btu/min

COP = (Th/TL) -1

By combining the general and maximum COP, W' can be found as;

W' = Q' * {(Th/TL) -1}

W' = (800+100) * 60 * 0.000393 {(560/530) - 1}

W' = 1.20 hp

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.
