Briefly describe the function of the thermostatic expansion valve in a vapour compression refrigeration system

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Thermostatic expansion valve is mainly a throttling device commonly used in air conditioning systems and refrigerators.

It is an automatic valve that maintains proper flow of refrigerant in the evaporator according to  the load inside the evaporator. When the load in the evaporator is higher the valve opens and  allows the increase in flow of refrigerant and when the load reduces the valve closes a bit and  reduces the flow of refrigerant. This process leads to higher efficiency of compressor as well as the whole refrigeration system.  Thus TEV works to reduce the pressure of refrigerant from higher condenser pressure to the lower evaporator pressure. It also keeps the evaporator active.

A heat pump with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to keep aspace at 25°C by absorbing heat from geothermal water that enters the evaporator at 60°C at a rate of 0.065 kg/s and leaves at 40°C. Refrigerant enters the evaporator at 12°C with a quality of 15 percent and leaves at the same pressure as saturated vapor.If the compressor consumes 1.6 kW of power, determine (a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, (b) the rate of heat supply, (c) the COP.

Answers

Answer:

(a) [tex]m_{R-134a}=0.0338kg/s[/tex]

(b) [tex]Q_H=7.03kW[/tex]

(c) [tex]COP=4.39[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello,

(a) In this part, we must know that the energy provided by the water equals the energy gained by the refrigerant-134a, thus:

[tex]m_{R-134a}(h_2-h1)=m_{H_2O}Cp_{H_2O}*\Delta T_{H_2O}[/tex]

Now, water's heat capacity is about 4.18kJ/kg°C and the enthalpies at both the first and second state for the refrigerant-134a are computed as shown below, considering the first state as a vapor-liquid mixture (VLM) at 12°C and the second state as a saturated vapor (ST) at the same conditions:

[tex]h_{1/12^0C/VLM}=68.18kJ/kg+0.15*189.09kJ/kg=96.54kJ/kg\\h_{2,SV}=257.27kJ/kg[/tex]

Next, solving the mass of water one obtains:

[tex]m_{R-134a}=\frac{m_{H_2O}Cp_{H_2O}*\Delta T_{H_2O}}{(h_2-h1)}=\frac{0.065kg/s*4.18kJ/kg^0C*(60^0C-40^0C)}{257.27kJ/kg-96.54kJ/kg} \\m_{R-134a}=0.0338kg/s[/tex]

(b) Now, the energy balance allows us to compute the heat supply:

[tex]Q_L+W_{in}=Q_H\\Q_H=0.0338kg/s*(257.27kJ/kg-96.54kJ/kg)+1.6kW\\Q_H=7.03kW[/tex]

(c) Finally, the COP (coefficient of performance) is computed via:

[tex]COP=\frac{Q_H}{W_{in}}=\frac{7.03kW}{1.6kW}\\COP=4.39[/tex]

A container filled with a sample of an ideal gas at the pressure of 150 Kpa. The gas is compressed isothermally to one-third of its original volume. What is the new pressure of the gas a)-900 kpa b)- 300 kpa c)- 450 kpa d)- 600 kpa

Answers

Answer: c) 450 kPa

Explanation:

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

[tex]P\propto \frac{1}{V}[/tex]     (At constant temperature and number of moles)

[tex]P_1V_1=P_2V_2[/tex]  

where,

[tex]P_1[/tex] = initial pressure of gas  = 150 kPa

[tex]P_2[/tex] = final pressure of gas  = ?

[tex]V_1[/tex] = initial volume of gas   = v L

[tex]V_2[/tex] = final volume of gas  = [tex]\frac{v}{3}L[/tex]

[tex]150\times v=P_2\times \frac{v}{3}[/tex]  

[tex]P_2=450kPa[/tex]

Therefore, the new pressure of the gas will be 450 kPa.

0.50 kg of air is heated at constant pressure from 25°C to 100°C. The source of the heat is at 200°C. What is the entropy generation for the process?

Answers

Solution:

Given:

mass of air, m = 0.50 Kg

[tex]T_{1}[/tex] = 25°C = 273+25 = 298 K

[tex]T_{2}[/tex] = 100°C = 273+100 = 373 K

[tex]T_{o}[/tex] = 200°C = 273+100 = 473 K

Solution:

Formulae used:

ΔQ = mCΔT                                          (1)

ΔS = [tex]\frac{\Delta Q}{T_{o}}[/tex]    (2)

where,

ΔQ = change in heat transfer

ΔS = chane in entropy

C = specific heat

ΔT = change in system temperature

Using eqn (1)

ΔQ = [tex]0.50\times 1.005\times (373-298)[/tex] = 36.687 kJ

Now, for entropy generation, using eqn (2)

ΔS = [tex]\frac{37.687}{473}[/tex] = 0.0796 kJ

A piston-cylinder device contains 1.329 kg of nitrogen gas at 120 kPa and 27 degree C. The gas is now compressed slowly in a polytropic process during which PV^1.49 = constant. The process ends when the volume is reduced by one-half. Determine the entropy change of nitrogen during this process.

Answers

Answer:-0.4199 J/k

Explanation:

Given data

mass of nitrogen(m)=1.329 Kg

Initial pressure[tex]\left ( P_1\right )[/tex]=120KPa

Initial temperature[tex]\left ( T_1\right )=27\degree \approx[/tex] 300k

Final volume is half of initial

R=particular gas constant

Therefore initial volume of gas is given by

PV=mRT

V=0.986\times 10^{-3}

Using [tex]PV^{1.49}[/tex]=constant

[tex]P_{1}V^{1.49}[/tex]=[tex]P_2\left (\frac{V}{2}\right )[/tex]

[tex]P_2[/tex]=337.066KPa

[tex]V_2[/tex]=[tex]0.493\times 10^{-3} m^{3}[/tex]

and entropy is given by

[tex]\Delta s[/tex]=[tex]C_v \ln \left (\frac{P_2}{P_1}\right )[/tex]+[tex]C_p \ln \left (\frac{V_2}{V_1}\right )[/tex]

Where, [tex]C_v[/tex]=[tex]\frac{R}{\gamma-1}[/tex]=0.6059

[tex]C_p[/tex]=[tex]\frac{\gamma R}{\gamma -1}[/tex]=0.9027

Substituting values we get

[tex]\Delta s[/tex]=[tex]0.6059\times\ln \left (\frac{337.066}{120}\right )[/tex]+[tex]0.9027 \ln \left (\frac{1}{2}\right )[/tex]

[tex]\Delta s[/tex]=-0.4199 J/k

The most advantage of fuel cells is that it can produce electrical energy directly (___)

Answers

Answer:The most advantage of fuel cells is that can produce electrical energy directly from chemical energy of hydrogen or other fuel.

Explanation: Fuel cell utilizes the chemical energy from the hydrogen or any other fuel and then converts it to the electrical energy. A fuel like hydrogen is supplied to the anode part and air is supplied to the cathode part . For hydrogen fuel cell there is a catalyst at anode side which divides hydrogen molecules in protons and electrons, which split and take go in different direction to cathode side. Thus the fuel cell works and generate the electrical energy

A piston-cylinder assembly has initially a volume of 0.3 m3 of air at 25 °C. Mass of the air is 1 kg. Weights are put on the piston until the air reaches to 0.1 m3 and 1,000 °C, in which the air undergoes a polytropic process (PV" const). Assume that heat loss from the cylinder, friction of piston, kinetic and potential effects are negligible. 1) Determine the polytropic constant n. 2) Determine the work transfer in ki for this process, and diseuss its direction. 3) sketch the process in T-V (temperature-volume) diagram.

Answers

Answer:

n=2.32

w= -213.9 KW

Explanation:

[tex]V_1=0.3m^3,T_1=298 K[/tex]

[tex]V_2=0.1m^3,T_1=1273 K[/tex]

Mass of air=1 kg

For polytropic process  [tex]pv^n=C[/tex] ,n is the polytropic constant.

  [tex]Tv^{n-1}=C[/tex]

  [tex]T_1v^{n-1}_1=T_2v^{n-1}_2[/tex]

[tex]298\times .3^{n-1}_1=1273\times .1^{n-1}_2[/tex]

n=2.32

Work in polytropic process given as

       w=[tex]\dfrac{P_1V_1-P_2V_2}{n-1}[/tex]

      w=[tex]mR\dfrac{T_1-T_2}{n-1}[/tex]

Now by putting the values

w=[tex]1\times 0.287\dfrac{289-1273}{2.32-1}[/tex]

w= -213.9 KW

Negative sign indicates that work is given to the system or work is done on the system.

If the soll surface temperature is 25*C, what is the outslde surface temperature of the contalner?

Answers

Answer:

Outside temperature =88.03°C

Explanation:

Conductivity of air-soil from standard table

   K=0.60 W/m-k

To find temperature we need to balance energy

Heat generation=Heat dissipation

Now find the value

We know that for sphere

[tex]q=\dfrac{2\pi DK}{1-\dfrac{D}{4H}}(T_1-T_2)[/tex]

Given that q=500 W

so

[tex]500=\dfrac{2\pi 2\times .6}{1-\dfrac{2}{4\times 10}}(T_1-25)[/tex]

By solving that equation we get

[tex]T_2[/tex]=88.03°C

So outside temperature =88.03°C

A diesel engine with CR= 20 has inlet at 520R, a maximum pressure of 920 psia and maximum temperature of 3200 R. With cold air properties find the cutoff ratio, the expansion ratio v4/v3, and the exhaust temperature.

Answers

Answer:

Cut-off ratio[tex]\dfrac{V_3}{V_2}=6.15[/tex]

Cxpansion ratio[tex]\dfrac{V_4}{V_3}=3.25[/tex]

The exhaust temperature[tex]T_4=1997.5R[/tex]

Explanation:

Compression ratio CR(r)=20

[tex]\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=20[/tex]

[tex]P_2=P_3=920 psia[/tex]

[tex]T_1=520 R ,T_{max}=T_3,T_3=3200 R[/tex]

We know that for air γ=1.4

If we assume that in diesel engine all process is adiabatic then

[tex]\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}=r^{\gamma -1}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{T_2}{520}=20^{1.4 -1}[/tex]

[tex]T_2=1723.28R[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{V_3}{V_2}=\dfrac{T_3}{T_2}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{V_3}{V_2}=\dfrac{3200}{520}[/tex]

So cut-off ratio[tex]\dfrac{V_3}{V_2}=6.15[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{V_4}{V_3}\times\dfrac{V_3}{V_2}[/tex]

Now putting the values in above equation

[tex]\dfrac20=\dfrac{V_4}{V_3}\times 6.15[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{V_4}{V_3}=3.25[/tex]

So expansion ratio[tex]\dfrac{V_4}{V_3}=3.25[/tex].

[tex]\dfrac{T_4}{T_3}=(expansion\ ratio)^{\gamma -1}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{T_3}{T_4}=(3.25)^{1.4 -1}[/tex]

[tex]T_4=1997.5R[/tex]

So the exhaust temperature[tex]T_4=1997.5R[/tex]

Define the difference between elastic and plastic deformation in terms of the effect on the crystal lattice structure.

Answers

Elastic deformation is a temporary, reversible change in a material's crystal lattice under stress, following Hooke's law, and is depicted as a linear response on a stress-strain graph. Plastic deformation results in permanent, irreversible changes in the crystal structure, typically involving dislocations and is characterized by the yield point and yield stress. Factors such as temperature and rate of stress application influence a rock's response to stress.

Deformation in materials can be categorized into two types: elastic deformation and plastic deformation. Elastic deformation refers to temporary changes in the crystal lattice that are reversible when the applied stress is removed. It follows Hooke's law, where the force is proportional to the displacement, and is shown as a linear region on a stress-strain graph. On the other hand, plastic deformation results in permanent changes to the lattice structure. Dislocations play a significant role in this process, where planes of atoms slip past one another. The moment when deformation transitions from elastic to plastic is known as the yield point, with associated yield stress. Beyond this point, deformation is irrevocable, and with continued stress, the material will eventually fracture.

At a microscopic level, plastic deformation involves the movement of dislocations and the introduction of an extra plane of atoms in the crystal structure, which allows atoms to move more easily under stress. This results in a permanently altered lattice configuration. Elastic deformation, by contrast, can be envisioned as if atoms were connected by springs that return to their original positions after the removal of stress.

The ability of rocks to deform elastically or plastically before breaking depends on several factors including temperature, water content in clay-bearing rocks, the rate at which stress is applied, and the inherent strength of the rock. A fundamental understanding of these principles is essential in geology and materials science.

Elastic deformation is reversible, maintaining lattice structure. Plastic deformation is irreversible, causing permanent lattice rearrangement.

Elastic and plastic deformation are two different responses of materials to applied stress, and they affect the crystal lattice structure differently:

1. Elastic Deformation :

  - Elastic deformation occurs when a material is subjected to stress, but it returns to its original shape and size once the stress is removed.

  - In elastic deformation, the atomic or molecular bonds within the crystal lattice are stretched or compressed, causing the material to temporarily change shape.

  - Within the elastic limit, the crystal lattice structure remains intact, and the atoms or molecules maintain their relative positions.

  - The deformation is reversible, meaning the material returns to its original state when the applied stress is released.

2. Plastic Deformation :

  - Plastic deformation occurs when a material is subjected to stress beyond its elastic limit, causing permanent changes in shape or size even after the stress is removed.

  - In plastic deformation, the atomic or molecular bonds within the crystal lattice undergo significant rearrangement or sliding.

  - Plastic deformation leads to the permanent displacement of atoms or molecules within the lattice structure, resulting in the material maintaining a new shape or size.

  - The material undergoes irreversible changes in its crystal lattice structure due to dislocation movement, grain boundary sliding, or other mechanisms.

  - Plastic deformation is characteristic of materials undergoing permanent deformation, such as metals being shaped or formed through processes like forging, rolling, or extrusion.

In summary, the difference between elastic and plastic deformation lies in the extent of the changes to the crystal lattice structure and whether the deformation is reversible or permanent. Elastic deformation involves temporary changes within the elastic limit, whereas plastic deformation involves permanent changes beyond the elastic limit.

A workpiece of 2000 mm length and 300 mm width was machined by a planning operation with the feed set at 0.3 mm/stroke. If the machine tool executes 10 double strokes/min, the planning time for a single pass will be?

Answers

Answer:

The planning time of the planner machine is 100 minute

Explanation:

Planning machine

A planning machine is a metal working machine that gives a flat surface to the work piece. Here the work-piece reciprocates and the feed is given to the tool.  A planning machine is used for heavy duty work and are often large in size.

 The machining time or the planning time of a planning machine is given by,

[tex]t_{m}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{L_{w}}{N_{s}\times f}[/tex]

where, [tex]L_{w}[/tex] is the total length of travel of job

                                    = width of the job

                                    = 300 mm

            [tex]N_{s}[/tex] is number of strokes per min

                                     = 10 double strokes per min

            f is feed of the tool, mm per stroke

                                      = 0.3 mm per stroke

Therefore,  [tex]t_{m}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{L_{w}}{N_{s}\times f}[/tex]

                                            = [tex]\frac{300}{10\times 0.3}[/tex]

                                           = 100 min

Therefore the planning time is 100 minute.

At winter design conditions, a house is projected to lose heat at a rate of 60,000 Btu/h. The internal heat gairn from people, lights, and appliances is estimated to be 6000 Btuh Ifthis house is to be heated by electric resistance heaters, determine the required rated power of these heaters in kW to maintain the house at constant temperature.

Answers

Answer:

15.8529 kW

Explanation:

Rate of heat loss = 60000 Btu/h

Internal heat gain = 6000 Btu/h

Rate of heat required to be supplied

[tex]P_{Sup}=\text{Rate of heat loss}-\text{Internal heat gain}\\\Rightarrow P_{Sup}=60000-6000\\\Rightarrow P_{Sup}=54000\ Btu/h[/tex]

Converting 54000 Btu/h to kW (kJ/s)

1 Btu = 1.05506 kJ

1 h = 3600 s

[tex]P_{Sup}=54000\times \frac{1.05506}{3600}\\\Rightarrow P_{Sup}=15.8529\ kW[/tex]

∴ Required rated power of these heaters is 15.8529 kW

Answer:

Q = 15.8 kW

Explanation:

Given data:

Heat loss rate is 60,000 Btu/h

Heat gain is 6000 Btu/h

Rate of heat required is computed as

Q = (60000 - 6000) Btu/h

Q = 54000 Btu/h

change Btu/h to Kilo Watts

[tex]Q = 54000 Btu/h (\frac{1W}{3.412142\ Btu/h})[/tex]

[tex]Q = 15825.8 W(\frac{1 kW}{1000 W})[/tex]

Q = 15.8 kW

Name one aluminium alloy used in low pressure die casting and one in high pressure die casting? Explain the major reasons why one is different to the other?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Low pressure die casting -

Also called the cold chamber die casting .

Example is -

A380 - having the composition , Al ( > 80% ) , Cu( 3 - 4% ) , Si ( 7.5 - 9.5% )

High Pressure die casting -

Also called hot chamber die casting .

Example is -  

ZAMAK 2 - having composition , Al ( 3.5 - 4.3% ) , Cu ( 2.5 - 3.5% ) , Zn( > 90% )

Low pressure die casting -

This type of die casting is perfect for the metals with  high melting point , for example aluminium . during this process , the metal is liquefied by very high temperature in the furnace  and then loaded in to the cold chamber to be injected to the die.

High Pressure die casting -

The metal is melted in a container and then a piston injects the liquid metal under high pressure into the die . low melting point metals that don not chemically attack are ideal for this die casting , example Zinc.

Amorphous material is characterized by by a) organized crystalline structure; b) high hardness and ductility c)the chaotic arrangement of atoms or high hardness; d) excellent magnetic, electrical properties, atomic chaotic layout, high hardness.

Answers

Answer:

C.The chaotic arrangement of atoms or high hardness

Explanation:

We know that atomic arrangement in Solids are of two types

 1)Crystalline

 2)Amorphous

Crystalline arrangement have periodic arrangement where as Amorphous arrangement have random arrangement.

Generally all metal have Crystalline arrangement and material like wood ,glass have  random arrangement ,that is why wood and glass is called Amorphous.We know that wood act as a insulator for conductivity and glass is a brittle and hard material.

So from above we can say that Amorphous material have chaotic arrangement of atoms or have high harness,so our option c is right.

If 65 gallons of hydraulic oil weighs 350lb, what is the specific weight of the oil in lb/ft^3?

Answers

Answer:

55.655 lb/ft³

Explanation:

Given data in question

oil weight i.e. w  = 350 lb    

oil volume i.e. v = 65 gallons = 6.68403 ft³

               

To find out

the specific weight of the oil

Solution

We know the specific weight formula is weight / volume    

we have given both value so we will put weight and volume value in

specific weight formula i.e.  

specific weight  =  weight / volume    

specific weight  =  372 / 6.68403 = 55.6550    

specific weight  =  55.655 lb/ft³

The exhaust steam from a power station turbine is condensed in a condenser operating at 0.0738 bar(abs). The surface of the heat transfer surface is held at 20°C. What percentage change does the inclusion of the sensible heat correction term make to the estimated heat transfer condensing film coefficient?

Answers

Answer:

Percentage change 5.75 %.

Explanation:Given ;

Given

 Pressure of condenser =0.0738 bar

Surface temperature=20°C

Now from steam table

Properties of steam at 0.0738 bar  

Saturation temperature corresponding to saturation pressure =40°C      

 [tex]h_f= 167.5\frac{KJ}{Kg},h_g= 2573.5\frac{KJ}{Kg}[/tex]

So Δh=2573.5-167.5=2406 KJ/kg

Enthalpy of condensation=2406 KJ/kg

So total heat=Sensible heat of liquid+Enthalpy of condensation

[tex]Total\ heat\ =C_p\Delta T+\Delta h[/tex]

Total heat =4.2(40-20)+2406

Total heat=2,544 KJ/kg

Now film coefficient before inclusion of sensible heat

  [tex]h_1=\dfrac{\Delta h}{\Delta T}[/tex]

  [tex]h_1=\dfrac{2406}{20}[/tex]

[tex]h_1=120.3\frac{KJ}{kg-m^2K}[/tex]

Now film coefficient after inclusion of sensible heat

 [tex]h_2=\dfrac{total\ heat}{\Delta T}[/tex]

 [tex]h_2=\dfrac{2,544}{20}[/tex]

[tex]h_2=127.2\frac{KJ}{kg-m^2K}[/tex]

[tex]So\ Percentage\ change=\dfrac{h_2-h_1}{h_1}\times 100[/tex]

             [tex]=\dfrac{127.2-120.3}{120.3}\times 100[/tex]

                   =5.75 %

So Percentage change 5.75 %.

What do you understand by the term redundant work?

Answers

Answer:

 Redundant work refers to the work done during the process of deformation due to friction. It happens during the wire drawing. Redundant work per unit volume increases when the radial position becomes higher. The redundant work factor is defined as increased strain of the deformation to the stress. It is basically related to the deformation area geometry.

A bronze statue weighing 4 tonnes with a base of area 0.8 m2 is placed on a granite museum floor. The yield strength of the bronze is 240 MPa. What is the true area of contact, between the base and the floor?

Answers

Answer:

true area of contact is 1.7 * [tex]10^{-4}[/tex] m²

Explanation:

Given data

mass (m) = 4000 tonnes

yield strength = 240 MPa i.e. = 240 * [tex]10^{6}[/tex]

base area = 0.8 m²

To find out

the true area of contact

Solution

we have given yield strength and weight

so with we can find contact area directly we know that

area is equal to weight / yield strength

so we will put weight and yield strength value in this formula

and weight = mass * 9.81 = 4 * 9.81 = 39.24 tonnes = 39240 N

area = weight /  yield strength

area = 39240 / 240 * [tex]10^{6}[/tex]

true area of contact = 1.7 * [tex]10^{-4}[/tex] m²

A piston-cylinder assembly contains ammonia, initially at a temperature of-20°C and a quality of 70%. The ammonia is slowly heated to a final state where the pressure is 6 bar and the temperature is 180°C. While the ammonia is heated, its pressure varies linearly with specific volume. For the ammonia, determine the work and heat transfer, each in kJ/kg.

Answers

Answer:

w =  -28.8 kJ/kg

q = 723.13 kJ/kg

Explanation:

Given :

Initial properties of piston  cylinder assemblies

Temperature, [tex]T_{1}[/tex] = -20°C

Quality, x = 70%

           = 0.7

Final properties of piston  cylinder assemblies

Temperature, [tex]T_{2}[/tex] = 180°C

Pressure, [tex]P_{2}[/tex] = 6 bar

From saturated ammonia tables at [tex]T_{1}[/tex] = -20°C  we get

[tex]P_{1}[/tex] = [tex]P_{sat}[/tex] = 1.9019 bar

[tex]v_{f}[/tex] = 0.001504 [tex]m^{3}[/tex] / kg

[tex]v_{g}[/tex] = 0.62334 [tex]m^{3}[/tex] / kg

[tex]u_{f}[/tex] = 88.76 kJ/kg

[tex]u_{g}[/tex] = 1299.5 kJ/kg

Therefore, for initial state 1 we can find

[tex]v_{1}[/tex] = [tex]v_{f}[/tex]+x ([tex]v_{g}[/tex]-[tex]v_{f}[/tex]

                       = 0.001504+0.7(0.62334-0.001504)

                       = 0.43678 [tex]m^{3}[/tex] / kg

[tex]u_{1}[/tex] = [tex]u_{f}[/tex]+x ([tex]u_{g}[/tex]-[tex]u_{f}[/tex]

                       = 88.76+0.7(1299.5-88.76)

                       =936.27 kJ/kg

Now, from super heated ammonia at 180°C, we get,

[tex]v_{2}[/tex] = 0.3639 [tex]m^{3}[/tex] / kg

[tex]u_{2}[/tex] = 1688.22 kJ/kg

Therefore, work done, W = area under the curve

           [tex]w = \left (\frac{P_{1}+P_{2}}{2}  \right )\left ( v_{2}-v_{1} \right )[/tex]

           [tex]w = \left (\frac{1.9019+6\times 10^{5}}{2} \right )\left ( 0.3639-0.43678\right )[/tex]

           [tex]w = -28794.52[/tex] J/kg

                       = -28.8 kJ/kg

Now for heat transfer

[tex]q = (u_{2}-u_{1})+w[/tex]

[tex]q = (1688.2-936.27)-28.8[/tex]

          = 723.13 kJ/kg
