The COP of vapor-compression refrigeration cycles improves when the refrigerant is subcooled at the condenser exit.
To maximize this effect, which of the following can be done?

a) The refrigerant can be subcooled lower than the temperature of the sink.
b) The refrigerant can be subcooled until the temperature of the sink.
c) The refrigerant can be subcooled until its freezing point.
d) The refrigerant can be subcooled indefinitely.

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.
