Define a near-azeotropic refrigerant blend, and give two examples.
What is normal air flow rate?
Two cylinders of refrigerant have the pressure of 50 psig and 110 psig. A technician decides the refrigerants are contaminated and wants to combine them in one tank to be sent out. The tank the mixture will go in is rated for 400 psig. This tank already has 200 psig in it. What will be the total pressure when the refrigerants are mixed?
______________ psig

- PLEASE DO NOT USE PSYCHROMETRIC CHART. THANK YOU In the diagram below inlet air is drawn over a pool of liquid water in a steady-state, steady-flow isobaric process. Evaporation on the pool resultsin saturated air at the exit. The pool of liquid water is assumed to be at the same temperature as the exitair. Discharge fans at the exit provide a volumetric flow rate of 800,000 ft3/min. Problem #2: Assume that the R134a chiller is turned off such that Qout = 0, but the evaporative coolersystem continues to operate. Determine:a) The exit temperature, T2 (°F)b) The mass flow rate dry air through the system (lbm/sec).c) The rate of liquid water resupply required for continuous operation (lbm/hour).arrow_forwardWhich of the following is/are a necessary part of a liquefaction process? a.all of these b.an expansion process c.throttle d.a heat exchangerarrow_forwardWhat is the name of the conference that was held in Canada in 1987 to attempt to solve the problem of refrigerants released into the atmosphere?arrow_forward
