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?

5. A refrigerator with tetrafluoroethane as refrigerant operates with an evaporation temperature of 247.15 K (-26°C) and a condensation temperature of 300.15 K (27°C). Saturated liquid refrigerant from the condenser flows through an expansion valve into the evaporator, from which it emerges as saturated vapor. (a) For a cooling rate of 5.275 kW, what is the circulation rate of the refrigerant? (b) By how much would the circulation rate be reduced if the throttle valve were replaced by a turbine in which the refrigerant expands isentropically? (c) Suppose the cycle of (a) is modified by the inclusion of a countercurrent heat exchanger between the condenser and the throttle valve in which heat is transferred to vapor returning from the evaporator. If liquid from the condenser enters the exchanger at 300.15 K (27°C) and if vapor from the evaporator enters the exchanger at 247.15 K (-26°C) and leaves at 294.15 K (21°C), what is the circulation rate of the refrigerant?

Pls. Answer thank you! An auditorium seating 1600 people is to be maintained at 80°F dry bulb and 65°F wet bulb temperature when outdoor air is at 91oF dry bulb and 75oF wet bulb. Solar heat load is 120,000 Btu/hr and supply air is at 60°F, determine the amount of supply air. (Use sensible heat load of 225 Btu/hr per person)
1) Water vapor with a flow rate of 20000 kg / h enters the condenser of a power plant at a pressure of 20 kPa and a dryness degree of 95 percent. In the condenser, there is heat transfer to the river water flowing through the pipes. The temperature rise of the river water is limited to 10'C to prevent thermal pollution. Since the state of the water at the condenser outlet is saturated liquid at 20 kPa pressure, what should be the flow rate of the cooling water.
