Experiment: Vapor Compression Refrigeration

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the calculation of the coefficient of performance (COP) for vapor compression refrigeration, highlighting a discrepancy where the ideal COP is lower than the COP derived from the p-h diagram. Participants emphasize the need for more detailed information regarding the calculations to provide assistance. Clarification on the methods used and the specific results obtained is essential for troubleshooting the issue. The conversation underscores the importance of thorough documentation in thermodynamic calculations. Accurate data sharing is crucial for effective problem-solving in engineering discussions.

i have calculated the coefficient of performance COP for both COP ideal and COP from p-h diagram. But the COP ideal i get is lower than the COP i calculated from p-h diagram. is it possible? please help :)

We cannot help you without more information, you need to at least walk us through how you calculated the two values and what the results were.

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
