A refrigeration system cools a brine from 25°C to −15°C at a rate of 20 kg·s−1. Heat is discarded to the atmosphere at a temperature of 30°C. What is the power requirement if the thermodynamic efficiency of the system is 0.27? The specific heat of the brine is 3.5 kJ·kg−1·°C−1.

What difference(s) did you notice using a pneumatic circuit over hydraulic circuit.explain why the pneumatic piston stumbles when it hits an obstacle.

Apipe with an outside diameter of 15 cm is exposed to an ambient air and surrounding temperature of -20°c. the pipe has an outer surface temperature of 65°c and an emissivity of 0.85. if the rate of heat loss from the pipe surface is 0.95 kw per meter of length, the external convective heat transfer coefficient (h) is: (a) 12.5 w/m"k (b) 18.6 w/mk (c) 23.7 w/mk (d) 27.9 w/mk (e) 33.5 w/mk

Modern high speed trains do not have perpendicular expansion gaps where rails are joined end-to-end any more they are mostly welded together but what might happen if there was a spell of particularly hot weather that causes inspection of the tracks?
