Ques. The condition of refrigerant after passing through the condenser in a vapour compression system is – 

  1. Wet vapour
  2. Saturated liquid
  3. Superheated vapour
  4. Dry saturated vapour

Click here for the answer

Ans. Saturated Liquid

Explanation: The condition of refrigerant after passing through the condenser in a vapour compression system is saturated Liquid

Ques. In actual air-conditioning applications for R-12 and R-22, and operating at a condenser temperature of 40° C and an evaporator temperature of 5° C, the heat rejection factor is about – 

  1. 1
  2. 1.25
  3. 2.15
  4. 5.12

Click here for the answer

Ans. b. 1.25

Explanation: Heat rejection factor = (Heat rejected/Heat absorbed).

Here, COP = 7.942.

Implies, Q(rejected) = 1.12*Q (absorbed).

Hence, HRF = 1.12.

    Capacitors are manufactured with certain standard capacitances and working voltages. However, these standard values may not be the ones that are actually needed in a particular application. Two or more capacitors can be grouped in series or in parallel to achieve desired capacitance and voltage. When connected in series, the total capacitance decreases while the voltage rating increases, whereas in parallel connections, the total capacitance increases and maintains the same voltage rating. A capacitor stores energy in the electric field between its plates and stored energy is proportional to the square of the voltage and capacitance $U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2$, where symbols have their usual meanings.
    Two capacitors, one of $3 \ \mu$F and the other of $6 \ \mu$F, are connected in series in the circuit as shown in the figure, for a long time. }
