The normal eye, myopic eye and old age
As we age, the lens of the eye hardens and accommodation no longer occurs: it is presbyopia.
Paradoxically, with age, a nearsighted person sees better than a "normal" person.
The aim of this exercise is to explain this paradox. The eye is modeled by a constant focal
length f′0 when the eye is presbyopic and by a screen (the retina) at the distance d from the
lens (d = 15 mm).
1. A normal, presbyopic eye sees an object at infinity in focus while a myopic eye sees an
object at a distance Dm from the eye (Dm = 15 cm).
What relation do we have in the two cases between f′0 and d?
2. A presbyopic person reads a newspaper placed 25 cm from his/her eyes. The radius r0 of
the pupil of the eye is 1 mm. Calculate the diameter of the spot on the retina image from a
log point, for a myopic eye and a normal eye. Conclude

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.
