Reconsider Prob. 11-120. 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 250oC. Plot the minimum rate of heat supply as a function of source temperature, and discuss the results.
Prob. 11-120
An absorption refrigeration system is to remove heat from the refrigerated space at 2oC at a rate of 28 kW while operating in an environment at 25oC. Heat is to be supplied from a solar pond at 95oC. What is the minimum rate of heat supply required?
