Ejercicio 5.44

For each kW of power input to an ice maker at steady state, determine the maximum rate that ice can
be produced, in kg/h, from liquid water at 0°C. Assume that 333 kJ/kg of energy must be removed by
heat transfer to freeze water at 0°C, and that the surroundings are at 20°C.

Procedimiento.

Ejercicio 5.45

At steady state, a refrigeration cycle driven by a 1-horse-power motor removes 200 Btu/min of energy
by heat transfer from a space maintaned at 20°F and discharges energy by heat transfer to
sorroundings at 75°F. Determine:

(a) the coefficient of performance of the refrigerator and the rate at which energy is discharged
to the sorroundings, in Btu/min.

(b) the minimum theoretical net power input, in horsepower, for any refrigeration cycyle
operating between reservoirs at these two temperatures.

Ejercicio 5.46

At steady state, a refrigeration cycle removes 18,000 kJ/h of energy by heat transfer from a space
maintained at 40°C and discharges energy by heat transfer to surroundings at 20°C. If the coefficient
of performance of the cycle is 25 percent of that of a reversible refrigeration cycle operating between
thermal reservoirs at these two temperatures, determine the power input to the cycle, in kW.

Procedimiento.

entering through the walls and windows at a rate of 30,000 kJ/h and from the occupants, computers,
and lighting at a rate of 6000 kJ/h. Determine the power required by this cycle and compare with the

If heat transfer through the walls and roof of a dwelling is 6.5 X 10 5 Btu per day, determine the
minimum theoretical power, in hp, to drive a heat pump operating at steady state between the
dwelling at 70°F and:

(a) the outdoor air at 32°F

(b) a pond at 40°F

(c) the ground at 55°C

Ejercicio 5.49

A heat pump operating at steady state is driven by a 1-kW electric motor and provides heating for a
building whose interior is to be kept at 20°C. On a day when the outside temperature is 0°C and
energy is lost through the walls and roof at a rate of 60,000 kJ/h, would the heat pump suffice?

Ejercicio 5.50

A heat pump maintains a dwelling at 20°C when the outside temperature is 0°C. The heat transfer
rate through the walls and roof is 3000 kJ/h per degree temperature difference between the inside
and outside. Determine the minimum theoretical power required to drive the heat pump, in kW.
