A design engineer must select the horsepower for a motor to drive a pump. Horsepower rating is a continuous design parameter with values in the range of 10 to 40 horsepower. The motor will have an annual ownership cost of $120 plus $0.60 per horsepower. The operating costs of such motors for 1 horsepower-hour will be $0.055 divided by the horsepower rating. Nine thousand horsepower-hours will be needed per year. (2.3) Determine what horsepower should be specified for a minimum total annual cost. Show that you have minimized total cost per year.

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
