A freezer is maintained at 20°F by removing heat from it at a rate of 75 Btu/min. The power input to the freezer is 0.70 hp, and the surrounding air is at 75°F. Determine (a) the reversible power, (b) the irreversibility, and (c) the second-law efficiency of this freezer.

Explanation:

Cop of reversible refrigerator = TL / ( TH - TL)

TL = low temperature of freezer = 20 °F

TH = temperature of air around = 75 °F

Heat removal rate QL = 75 Btu/min

W actual, power input = 0.7 hp

conversion on F to kelvin = (T (°F) + 460 ) × 5 / 9

COP ( coefficient of performance) reversible = (20 + 460) × 5/9 / (5/9 ( ( 75 +460) - (20 + 460) ))

COP reversible = 480 / 55 = 8.73

irreversibility expression, I = W actual - W rev

COP r = QL / Wrev

W rev = QL /  COP r  where 75 Btu/min = 1.76856651 hp  where W actual = 0.70 hp

a) W rev =  1.76856651 hp  /  8.73  = 0.20258 hp is reversible power

I = W actual - W rev

b) I = 0.7 hp - 0.20258 hp = 0.4974 hp

c) the second-law efficiency of this freezer = W rev / W actual =  0.20258 hp / 0.7 hp = 0.2894 × 100 = 28.94 %

i don't understand really? can u provide more information

u should make a machine that can make ice cream fresh!

answer:

you cant but you can report the sender

and do you want to talk?

im xavier btw but i go by x
