You are on a factory visit to a plant for food products. Rushing through the factory, you hear that a vapor compression cycle with refrigerant HFC-134a as the working fluid is being used. You see that they use a throttle valve as part of the system and that one part of the cycle is running at 0.32 MPa and another part of the cycle is running at 1.6 MPa. If the compressor is 80% efficient and throttle, condenser, and evaporator are working ideally in a typical vapor compression cycle,

a)Calculate the coefficient of performance

b)Calculate the percentage of vapor present in the inlet to the evaporator

c)Calculate heat removal rate in the evaporator

d)Is this vapor compression cycle being used for freezing food/water? Explain why or why not.

suppose that a food processing plant and a chemical factory are located close to each other on the banks of a river. The chemical factory uses the river to discharge its emissions. The food processing plant (located somewhere downstream) suffers damages from the emissions as it requires clean water for its operations. Assuming MAC = 240-2E and MD = 3E, answer the following questions. Draw this diagram before answering the questions below. You will be asked to upload the diagram...

Blackwelder Factory produces two similar products-small lamps and desk lamps. The total plant overhead budget is $529,000 with 540,000 estimated direct labor hours. It is further estimated that small lamp production will require 264,000 direct labor hours and desk lamp production will need 276,000 direct labor hours. Using the single plantwide factory overhead rate with an allocation base of direct labor hours, how much factory overhead will Blackwelder Factory allocate to small lamp production if actual direct hours for the...

Assume that you have a factory that produces frozen food and uses water from the river next to you. There is another plant that produces chemical waste and throws it to the river, such waste gets to you when you pull water from the river. Thus, you must pay for a very expensive process of cleaning the water. There are two possibilities to correct this externality: One is to engage into a contract with the other plant, such that they...
