What problem of the low-bid process is the negotiated price process intended to solve? The negotiated price process places a greater emphasis on lowering cost than the low-bid process.
The negotiated price process focuses on contractor qualifications instead of simply seeking the lowest-bidding contractor.
The negotiated price process is easier to manage than the low-bid process.
The negotiated price process is faster than the low-bid process.

The temperature of air decreases as it is compressed by an adiabatic compressor. a)- true b)- false

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

Air inially occupying a volume of 1 m2 at 100 kpa, 27 c undergoes three internally reversible processes in series. process 1-2 compression to 500 kpa during which pv constant process 2-3 adiabatic expanslon to 100 kpa process 3-1: constant-pressure expansion to 100 kpa (a) calculate the change of entropy for each of the three processes. (b) calculate the heat and work involved in each process. (c) is this cycle a power cycle or refrigeration cycle?
