Module 7 Exercises Problem No. 2

The document contains 3 practice problems from a power and industrial plant engineering module. Problem 1 asks the student to calculate the percentage slip of a single-acting reciprocating pump that delivers water at 0.18 cu. m/min operating at 15 rpm with a diameter of 0.3 m and stroke of 0.18 m. The student correctly calculates the percentage slip as 5.7%. Problem 2 asks the student to determine the motor power in kW for a vapor compression refrigeration system with a specified capacity and actual COP where 35% of the compressor power is lost. The student accurately calculates the motor power as 92.3 kW. Problem 3 concerns a refrigeration cycle and asks the student to determine

Problem No. 1:

A single acting-reciprocating pump, with a diameter of 0.3 meter and stroke of 0.18
meter, delivers water at a rate of 0.18 cu. m per min. What is the percentage slip it
delivers at 15 rpm?
a. 5.7% b. 8.4% c. 10.5% d. 1.6%

Problem No. 2:

A vapor compression ref system is designed to have a capacity of 100 tons. Its actual
COP is 5.86 and 35% of the power supplied to the compressor is lost in the form of
friction and the cylinder cooling losses. Determine the motor power in kW.

Problem No. 3:

A refrigeration cycle with 0.18 MPa (hg = 180.8 kJ/kg) and 0.8 MPa (h = 208.65) has a
mass flow rate of 0.09 kg/s. The rate of heat removal from products is 10.21 kW.
Determine the heat rejected in kW per kW power.
