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

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.

      Read the following paragraph and answer the questions that follow.
      A p-type or n-type semiconductor can be converted into a p-n junction by doping it with suitable impurity. The motion of majority charge carriers causes diffusion current across the junction while the barrier electric field causes motion of minority carriers for drift current. In case of unbiased diode, the diffusion and drift currents are equal. This equilibrium is disturbed by the biasing batteries. Diodes, therefore, allow currents in one direction. This property of diode is used in making rectifiers.

                      A charged particle $+q$ in an electric field $\vec{E}$ experiences a force in the direction of the electric field. As a result, its kinetic energy changes. Similarly, the charged particle also experiences a force when it moves in a magnetic field $\vec{B}$. But this magnetic force is perpendicular to both velocity $\vec{v}$ of the charged particle and the magnetic field $\vec{B}$, so it cannot change the kinetic energy of the charged particle. Consider two charged particles 1 and 2 of masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ having charges $-q$ and $+2q$ respectively. They are accelerated from rest through the same potential difference $V$ and acquire kinetic energy $K_1$ and $K_2$. Then they enter in a region of uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}$ perpendicular to their velocities.
