Gthe human body can get energy by metabolizing proteins, carbohydrates or fatty acids, depending on the circumstances. roughly speaking, the energy it gets comes mostly from allowing all the carbon atoms in the food molecules to become oxidized to carbon dioxide by reaction with oxygen from the atmosphere. hence the energy content of food is roughly proportional to the carbon content. let's consider maltotriose , one of the simplest carbohydrates, and oleic acid , a fatty acid from which fats are made. using the idea above about energy content, calculate the ratio of the energy the body gets metabolizing each gram of maltotriose to the energy the body gets metabolizing each gram of oleic acid. round your answer to the correct number of significant digits.

Acommercial refrigerator with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at -35°c by rejecting waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at 18°c at a rate of 0.25 kg/s and leaves at 26°c. the refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 mpa and 50°c. if the compressor consumes 3.3 kw of power, determine (a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, (b) the refrigeration load, (c) the cop, and (d) the minimum power input to the compressor for the same refrigeration load.
