a student, observed that she can focus more in her lessons if the air conditioning unit in her spacious room is opened. She usually set the temperature to be maintained in her room at 10 C. The temperature outside of her room is 40 C. The refrigerant of her AC unit is HFC-134 a. What is the coefficient of performance of her AC unit if it is operating on a Vapor Compression refrigeration cycle? The compressor efficiency is 0.7.

Subject : Thermofluid A well-sealed house left alone during the midday heat was found to be at 35oC. He turns on the air conditioner, which cools the entire house to 24oC in 30 min. If the COP of the air-conditioning system is 2.6, determine the power drawn by the air conditioner. An estimated of 750 kg of air is within the house for which cv = 0.72 kJ/kg·oC and cp = 1.0 kJ/kg·oC.
Thermodynamics: A refrigeration unit using Refrigerant-134a is used to maintain a certain space at –15°C. The condenser rejects heat (?H) to cooling water that enters the condenser at 15°C at a rate of 0.2 kg/s and leaves at 35°C (all as saturated liquid water). The superheated refrigerant enters the condenser at 0.8 MPa and 40°C and leaves as a saturated liquid at the same temperature. If the compressor consumes 4.5 kW of power, determine (a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, (b) the refrigeration load (?̇L), (c) the COP.
A food compartment is to be maintained at 21°C by a refrigeration system. The total cooling load of the food compartment is estimated to be 330 kJ/h and the heat rejection by the condenser is 480 kJ/h. The outdoor air temperature is 35°C. draw the schematic diagram of the refrigeration system determine the power input required to operate the refrigeration system in kW.

3.) When a gas surrounded by air is compressed or expands adiabatically, its temperature rises or decreased even though there is no heat input or dissipated to the gas. Where does the energy come from to raise or lower the temperature? 4.) Why must a room air conditioner be placed in a window rather than just set on the floor and plugged in? Why can a refrigerator be set on the floor and plugged in?
A refrigeration unit absorbs 1 kW of heat from the cold reservoir and rejects 1.3kW of heat to the warm reservoir. What is the unit's coefficient of performance?
A heat pump is used to extract heat from the outside atmosphere to heat the inside of a building. On a day when the outside air temperature is Tc°C, the heat pump is operating to a COP of 3.7, maintaining the inside temperature of the building at Th°C. If the building is losing heat at the rate of 53,709 kJ/hour in these conditions, determine how much power (kW) must be supplied to a heat pump? Keep two decimal places
