Reconsider Prob. 11-99. Using EES (or other) software, investigate the effect of the source temperature on the minimum rate of heat supply. Let the source temperature vary from 50 to 250°C. Plot the minimum rate of heat supply as a function of source temperature, and discuss the results.
Prob. 11-99
An absorption refrigeration system is to remove heat from the refrigerated space at -10°C at a rate of 12 kW while operating in an environment at 25°C. Heat is to be supplied from a solar pond at 85°C. What is the minimum rate of heat supply required?
