1.	Take a control volume around your kitchen refrigerator and indicate where the components shown in Figure 1.6 are located and show all flows of energy transfer.
Answer» The valve and the cold line, the evaporator, is inside close to the inside wall and usually a small blower distributes cold air from the freezer box to the refrigerator room. The black grille in the back or at the bottom is the condenser that gives heat to the room air. The compressor sits at the bottom.

Convert the following reading of pressure to kPa, assuming that the barometer reads 760mm Hg.(1) 90cm Hg gauge (2) 40cm Hg vacuum (3) 1.2m H2O gauge
If the efficiency of a power plant goes up as the low temperature drops why not let the heat rejection go to a refrigerator at say –10°C instead of ambient 20°C?
A heat transfer requires a temperature difference, see chapter 4, to push the Q.. What implications do that have for a real heat engine? A refrigerator?
At certain locations geothermal energy in undergound water is available and used as the energy source for a power plant. Consider a supply of saturated liquid water at 150°C. What is the maximum possible thermal efficiency of a cyclic heat engine using this source of energy with the ambient at 20°C? Would it be better to locate a source of saturated vapor at 150°C than use the saturated liquid at 150°C?
A drag force on an object moving through a medium (like a car through air or a submarine through water) is Fd = 0.225 A ρV2. Verify the unit becomes Newton.
