A houschold refrigerator that has a power input

of 450 W and a COP of 2.5 is to coolfive large
watermcl ons. 10 kg each, to 8ºC. lf the watermelons
are initially at 200C. determine how long it will take
for the refrigerator to cool them. The watermelons can
be treated as water whose spe cific heat is 4.2 kJ/kg ·

Consider a Carnot heat-engine cycle executed in a
steady-flow systcm u sing steam as the worki ng fluid. The
cycle has a t herma l efficiency of 30 percent , and stean1
changes from satu rated liq uid to saturated vapor at 275ºC
during the heat add i tion process. If the rnass flow rate of the
steam is 3 kg/s, determine the net power outpu t of this
engine, in kW.
