    Cooling System
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the yearly cost of a 131 kW cooling system, with specific focus on the condenser's role and its heat recirculation capabilities. The condenser's effect is questioned, whether it refers to cooling capacity or heat rejection. Clarification is sought on the coefficient of performance (COP) and whether the system functions as a heat pump, alternating between cooling and heating. The operational schedule of the ventilation system is noted, running five months a year during weekdays. Understanding these factors is essential for accurately determining the system's yearly cost.

I have a cooling system where the condenser has an effect of 131 kW. The text says that the condensor-heat can be recirculated using the ventilaton-system 5 months a year, and that the vent.system is running between 0800-2000 monday to friday. I also have the energi price pr kWh. The cooling-system runs 365 days a year. I'm supposed to find the yearly cost. I have other info like flow/h, and the enthalphies.

I don't really know where to start...so it says "the condensor-heat can be recirculated", is that the effect of 131 kW? Anyone?

It's a bit difficult to understand " the condenser has an effect of 131 kW." Is this the cooling capacity of the condenser, or the heat rejected?

Do you have a COP, coefficient of performance?

I suspect this is something like a heat pump, which can be used to cool or to heat depending on which side is used.

So is this system cooling for 7 months and heating for 5 months?
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
