Identify two flaws with the benchmarking process described in the following scenario, and explain why those flaws result in an ineffective process. Situation: ChemCo, a small specialty chemical company, sets a benchmark to recycle as much of their chemical waste stream as possible in one year. They gather data about the types and amounts of waste generated and identify what can be recycled. They also study how the large chemical manufacturing companies decide which waste is economically feasible to recycle. ChemCo chooses one of the identified strategies to implement. After one year they evaluate the effectiveness of their strategy and realize their benchmarking process was flawed.

The catalogue for a refrigerant 22, four-cylinder, hermetic compressor operating at 29 r/s. a condensing temperature of 40°c and an evaporating temperature of -4°c shows a refrigeration capacity of 115 kw. at this operating point, the motor (its efficiency is 90 percent) draws 34.5 kw. the bore of the cylinders is 87 mm and the piston stroke is 70 mm. the performance data are based on 8°c of sub-cooling of the liquid leaving the condenser. compute (a) the actual volumetric efficiency and (b) the compression efficiency.

Acompressor compresses a gas, a pump compresses a liquid. for a given pressure ratio, why does it take more work to compress a gas in a compressor than a liquid in a pump? a)- for a given pressure ratio the average specific volume for a gas is much higher than the average specific volume for a liquid. b)- there is no difference. the only difference is the amount of heat generated (not work) c)- for a given pressure ratio the average volume for a gas is much higher than the average volume for a liquid. d)-there is no difference.
