A 鈥淐arnot鈥 refrigerator (the reverse of a Carnot engine) absorbs heat from the freezer compartment at a temperature of -17掳C and exhausts it into the room at 25掳C.

(a) How much work would the refrigerator do to change 0.65 kg of water at 25掳C into ice at -17掳C.

(b) If the compressor output is 105 W and runs 25% of the time, how long will this take?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The work done by the refrigerator is\(5.03 \times {104}\;{\rm{J}}\).

(b) The time taken to do the work is\(32\;\min \).

Step by step solution

01

Heat removed from the water

In this problem, there are three parts in which the heat rejected is evaluated. First, the cooling of water up to the freezing point; second, freezing the liquid water; and last, cooling the ice.

02

Given data

The temperature of the freezer is \({T_{\rm{1}}} = - 17\circ {\rm{C}}\).

The temperature of the room is \({T_{\rm{2}}} = 25\circ {\rm{C}}\).

The mass is \(m = 0.65\,{\rm{kg}}\).

The output power is \(P = 105\,{\rm{W}}\).

03

Evaluation of heat rejected from the water

The relation to find the heat rejected is given by:

\(\begin{array}{l}Q = mc\Delta T + mL + mc'\Delta T'\\Q = m\left( {c\Delta T + L + c'\Delta T'} \right)\end{array}\)

Here, \(c\)and \(c'\) are the specific heat for water and ice, \(\Delta T\) and \(\Delta T'\) are the change in temperature for water and ice, and Lis the latent heat of water.

Substitute the values in the above expression.

\(\begin{array}{l}Q = \left( {0.65\;{\rm{kg}}} \right)\left( {\left( {4186\;{\rm{J/kg}} \cdot \circ {\rm{C}}} \right)\left( {25\circ {\rm{C}}} \right) + \left( {3.33 \times {{10}5}\;{\rm{J/kg}}} \right) + \left( {2100\;{\rm{J/kg}} \cdot \circ {\rm{C}}} \right)\left( {17\circ {\rm{C}}} \right)} \right)\\Q = 3.07 \times {105}\;{\rm{J}}\end{array}\)

04

(a) Evaluation of the work done by the refrigerator

The relation of efficiency is given by:

\(\begin{array}{c}\eta = \frac{W}{{W + Q}}\\1 - \frac{{{T_{\rm{1}}}}}{{{T_{\rm{2}}}}} = \frac{W}{{W + Q}}\\W = Q\left( {\frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}} - 1} \right)\end{array}\)

Substitute the values in the above expression.

\(\begin{array}{l}W = \left( {3.07 \times {{10}5}\;{\rm{J}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{\left( {25\circ {\rm{C}} + 273} \right)\;{\rm{K}}}}{{\left( { - 17\circ {\rm{C}} + 273} \right)\;{\rm{K}}}} - 1} \right)\\W = 5.03 \times {104}\;{\rm{J}}\end{array}\)

Thus, the work done by the refrigerator is \(5.03 \times {104}\;{\rm{J}}\).

05

(b) Evaluation of the time consumed by using compressor power

The relation to find the time is given by:

\(t = \frac{W}{P}\)

Substitute the values in the above expression.

\(\begin{array}{l}t = \left( {\frac{{5.03 \times {{10}4}\;{\rm{J}}}}{{105\,{\rm{W}}\left( {0.25} \right)}}} \right)\\t = 1916.1\;{\rm{s}}\\t \approx 32\;\min \end{array}\)

Thus, the time taken to do the work is \(32\;\min \).

Question:A gas is allowed to expand (a) adiabatically and (b) isothermally. In each process, does the entropy increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain.

Question: Suppose a heat pump has a stationary bicycle attachment that allows you to provide the work instead of using an electrical wall outlet. If your heat pump has a coefficient of performance of 2.0 and you can cycle at a racing pace (Table 15鈥2) for a half hour, how much heat can you provide?

A 38% efficient power plant puts out 850 MW of electrical power. Cooling towers take away the exhaust heat.

(a) If the air \(\left( {{\bf{k}}{{\bf{m}}{\bf{3}}}} \right)\) temperature is allowed to rise by 7.0掳C, estimate what volume of air is heated per day. Will the local climate be heated significantly?

(b) If the heated air were to form a layer 180 m thick, estimate how large an area it would cover for 24 h of operation. Assume the air has a density of \({\bf{1}}{\bf{.3 kg/}}{{\bf{m}}{\bf{3}}}\) and a specific heat of about \({\bf{1}}{\bf{.0}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{kJ/kg}} \cdot {\bf{\circ C}}\) at constant pressure.

Question: (II) Consider the following two-step process. Heat is allowed to flow out of an ideal gas at constant volume so that its pressure drops from 2.2 atm to 1.4 atm. Then the gas expands at constant pressure, from a volume of 5.9 L to 9.3 L, where the temperature reaches its original value. See Fig.15鈥22. Calculate (a) the total work done by the gas in the process, (b) the change in internal energy of the gas in the process, and (c) the total heat flow into or out of the gas.

Question: (II) What volume of water at 0掳C can a freezer make into ice cubes in 1.0 h, if the coefficient of performance of the cooling unit is 6.0 and the power input is 1.2 kilowatt?
