During the daytime, water is drawn from an upper reservoir and is run through a turbine on its way to a lower reservoir in order to produce power for a town. At night, the water is pumped back up to the upper reservoir in order to replenish the upper reservoir. Assume that the heat loss rate due to friction is 65 hp (going either up or down) and that the internal energy change is negligible. Required:
a. Find the power extracted by the turbine if the downward volume flow rate is 15,000 gallons per minute.
b. What would the upward volume flow rate have to be in order for the system to "break even"?

Refrigerant-134a enters the compressor of a refrigerator as superheated vapor at 0.14 mpa and -10°c at a rate of 0.05 ka/s and leaves at 0.8 mpa and 50°c. the refrigerant is cooied in the condenser to 0.72 mpa and 26'c. it is then throttled to 0.15 mpa. sketch the t-s diagram for the system and evaluate: 6) the rate of heat removai from the refrigerated space (kw), it) the power input to the compressor (kw), ii) the isentropic efficiency of the compressor (%), and iv) the cop of the refrigerator.
