A gas tank is known to have a thickness of 0.5 inches and an internal pressure of 2.2 ksi. Assuming that the maximum allowable shear stress in the tank wall is 12 ksi, determine the necessary outer diameter for the tank. Assume that the tank is made of a cold drawn steel whose elastic modulus is 35000 ksi and whose Poisson ratio is 0.292. If y

An ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle is employed to maintain a building temperature of 23°c when the outside temperature is 37°c. the cycle operates at steady state using ammonia as the working fluid. the mass flow rate of the refrigerant is 15 kg/min. the refrigerant enters the compressor at 1.5 bar and 10 °c. the condenser pressure is 20 bar and the temperature at the condenser exit is 45 °c. determine (a) the compressor power in kw. (b) the refrigeration capacity in tons. (c) the coefficient of performance. d) the maximum theoretical coefficient of performance.
