Module 7 Exercises Problem No. 3

This document contains 3 problems related to power and industrial plant engineering. Problem 1 involves calculating the thermal output rate (TOR) of an ice plant that produces 14 tons of ice in 24 hours. Problem 2 calculates the coefficient of performance (COP) for a reversed Carnot cycle operating between -8°C and 18°C. Problem 3 determines the least power necessary to drive a heat pump that maintains a building at 18°C when the outside temperature drops to -6°C and the building loses heat at a rate of 120,000 kJ/hr.

Problem No. 1:

An ice plant produces 14 tons of ice in 24 hours at 5 deg F from raw water at 80 deg F.
Determine the TOR of the ice plant.
a. 20 b. 10 c. 15 d. 18

Solution:

Q=M w Cp w ( T s−T f ) + M I L+ M I Cp I ( T f −T e )
M w =M I
Q=M I [ Cp w ( T s−T f ) + L+CpI ( T f −T e ) ]
Tons 2000lbs hour
Q=14 × × [ ( 1 ) ( 80−32 )+144 + ( 0.5 ) ( 32−5 ) ]
24 hours Tons 3600 s

Q=70.26 kW ×
3.5167 kW

Q=20TOR

Problem No. 2:

For a reversed Carnot cycle operating between – 8 deg C and 18 deg C, find the
coefficient of performance.
a. 4.8 b. 6.7 c. 8.5 d. 10.2

Solution:

TL
COPc =
T H −T L
265 K
COPc =
291 K−265 K

COPc =10.2
Problem No. 3:

A building has to be maintained at 18 deg C at all times. A heat pump is required for
this. When the temp outside the building drops to – 6 deg C, the building losses heat at
a rate of 120,000 kJ/hr. Compute the least power necessary to drive the heat pump.
a. 48.15 kW b. 0.16 kW c. 25.06 kW d. 2.75 kW

Solution:

COPh =
T H −T L
