An automotive air conditioner produces a 1-kW cooling effect while consuming 0.75 kW of power. What is the rate at which heat is rejected from this air conditioner

Respuesta :

Answer:

The rejected by the air conditioning system is 1.75 kilowatts.

Explanation:

A air conditioning system is a refrigeration cycle, whose receives heat from cold reservoir with the help of power input before releasing it to hot reservoir. The First Law of Thermodynamics describes the model:

[tex]\dot Q_{L} + \dot W - \dot Q_{H} = 0[/tex]

Where:

[tex]\dot Q_{L}[/tex] - Heat rate from cold reservoir, measured in kilowatts.

[tex]\dot Q_{H}[/tex] - Heat rate liberated to the hot reservoir, measured in kilowatts.

[tex]\dot W[/tex] - Power input, measured in kilowatts.

The heat rejected is now cleared:

[tex]\dot Q_{H} = \dot Q_{L} + \dot W[/tex]

If [tex]\dot Q_{L} = 1\,kW[/tex] and [tex]\dot W = 0.75\,kW[/tex], then:

[tex]\dot Q_{H} = 1\,kW + 0.75\,kW[/tex]

[tex]\dot Q_{H} = 1.75\,kW[/tex]

The rejected by the air conditioning system is 1.75 kilowatts.
