THERMO 2 Number 49

The food compartment of a refrigerator is maintained at 4 by removing heat from it at a rate of 360
kJ/min. if the required power input to the refrigerator is 2 kW, determine the performance of the
refrigerator.

49. Based on the preceding problem, determine the rate of heat discharge (in kJ/min) to the room that
houses the refrigerator.

Givem:

Power input = 2 kW

Rate = 360 kW

Required: Discharge

Solution:

QC = 360 kW +2(60)

QC = 480 kJ/min

46. A steel pipe, 2 inches schedule 40 contains saturated steam at 121.1 . The line is insulated with
25.4 mm asbestos ( k=0.182 W/m-K). assuming that the inside surface temperature of the metal wall is
at 121.1 and the outer surface of the insulation is at 26.7 calculate the heat loss for 30.5 m of
pipe. Thermal conductivity of steel is 45 W/m-K.

Given:

L = 30.85 m r1 = 0.0263 m

K steel = 45 W/m-K r2 = .0302 m

K asbestos = 0.182 W/m-K r3 = .0556 m

Thickness of asbestos = 25.4 mm

ID = 2.067 in

OD = 2.375 in

Reqd: Pressure, P

SOLN:
Using steam table:
@ T = 500C
Interpolate P:
Specific volume, SV (cm3/g) Pressure, P (kPa)
40.614 8200
41.6667 P
42.704 8000

P = 8006.8502 kPa
