5.16 A power cycle operating between hot and cold reservoirs at 500 K and 300 K, respectively, receives 1000 kJ by heat transfer from the hot reservoir. The magnitude of the energy discharged by heat transfer to the cold reservoir must satisfy (a) QC > 600 kJ, (b) QC ≥ 600 kJ, (c) QC = 600 kJ, (d) QC ≤ 600 kJ.

An air compression refrigeration system is to have an air pressure of 100 psia in the brine tank and an allowable air temperature increase of 60°f for standard vapor compression cycle temperatures of 77 f entering the expansion cylinder and 14 f entering the compression cylinder, calculate the coefficient of performance a. 2.5 b 3.3 c. 4.0 d. 5.0
