    The difference in the level of heat between two substances will determine the heat transfer rate between the substances

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the heat transfer rate between two substances is directly proportional to the temperature difference between them. When there is a large temperature difference, there is a higher rate of heat transfer. This is because heat naturally flows from a hotter substance to a cooler substance until they reach thermal equilibrium. Therefore, the greater the temperature difference, the faster heat will transfer between the substances.

    The evaporator in a refrigeration system must be colder than refrigerated space in order to absorb heat.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The evaporator in a refrigeration system must be colder than the refrigerated space in order to absorb heat because the purpose of the evaporator is to remove heat from the refrigerated space. By being colder than the space, it creates a temperature difference that allows heat to transfer from the space to the evaporator. This heat absorption process is essential for the refrigeration system to effectively cool the space.

    The halide leak detector should be used in well ventilated areas as the resulting blue or green flame indicates the phosgene gas is being produced.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer is that the halide leak detector is designed to detect the presence of halide gases, such as chlorine or bromine. When these gases come into contact with the detector, they produce a blue or green flame. However, the production of this flame also indicates the presence of phosgene gas, which is highly toxic and can be fatal in high concentrations. Therefore, it is important to use the halide leak detector in well-ventilated areas to prevent the buildup of phosgene gas and ensure the safety of the users.

    When water at 212 F boils, it is only absorbing latent heat

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When water reaches its boiling point at 212°F, it undergoes a phase change from liquid to gas. During this phase change, the water absorbs latent heat, which is the heat energy required to break the intermolecular bonds and convert the water molecules from a liquid state to a gaseous state. Therefore, the statement that when water boils at 212°F, it is only absorbing latent heat is true.

    An expansion valve is the pressure reducing device that controls the flow of liquid refrigerant into the evaporator.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    An expansion valve is a crucial component in a refrigeration system that regulates the flow of liquid refrigerant into the evaporator. It is responsible for reducing the pressure of the refrigerant, allowing it to expand and absorb heat from the surroundings. This process is essential for the cooling effect in the evaporator. Therefore, the statement "An expansion valve is the pressure reducing device that controls the flow of liquid refrigerant into the evaporator" is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    The discharge gas from the compressor is a high pressure, high temperature, superheated vapor.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The discharge gas from the compressor is a high pressure, high temperature, superheated vapor. This is because the compressor compresses the refrigerant gas, increasing its pressure and temperature. As a result, the gas becomes superheated, meaning its temperature is higher than its saturation temperature at the given pressure. Therefore, the statement is true.

    The evaporator can be thought of as a "heat sponge"

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The evaporator can be compared to a "heat sponge" because it absorbs heat from the surroundings and uses it to evaporate the refrigerant, thus cooling the area. This comparison highlights the role of the evaporator in the refrigeration cycle, where it acts as a heat exchanger and absorbs heat energy to facilitate the cooling process.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    The boiling point of a refrigerant should be low enough at atmospheric pressure to keep the system pressure above 0 psig when operating at low temperatures

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A refrigerant is a substance used in a cooling system to absorb and transfer heat. The boiling point of a refrigerant is crucial because it determines the temperature at which it changes from a liquid to a gas. In order for the refrigeration system to function properly, the boiling point of the refrigerant should be low enough at atmospheric pressure. This is because the system operates at low temperatures, and if the boiling point is too high, the refrigerant would not be able to evaporate and absorb heat effectively. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Only liquid refrigerant should enter the metering device

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The metering device in a refrigeration system is responsible for regulating the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator coil. It is designed to handle only liquid refrigerant, as it is unable to properly meter and control the flow of refrigerant in its gaseous state. If gaseous refrigerant enters the metering device, it can cause improper cooling and potentially damage the system. Therefore, it is correct to say that only liquid refrigerant should enter the metering device.

    The standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is 29.92" Hg. This is the average pressure exerted by the Earth's atmosphere at sea level under normal conditions. The unit "Hg" stands for inches of mercury, which is a common unit of pressure measurement.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    In order for water at 60 F to boil, it must absorb both sensible and latent heat

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Water boils at 212°F (100°C), so in order for it to reach that temperature from 60°F, it must absorb heat. Sensible heat refers to the heat that causes a change in temperature, while latent heat refers to the heat that causes a change in phase (from liquid to gas in this case). Therefore, water at 60°F must absorb both sensible and latent heat in order to reach its boiling point of 212°F.

    Ice melts in iceboxes because ____.

    • Heat flows through the insulated walls.

    • Heat enters when the door is opened

    • Heat enters when warm food is placed in the icebox.

    • All of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above.
    Explanation
    Ice melts in iceboxes because heat flows through the insulated walls, heat enters when the door is opened, and heat enters when warm food is placed in the icebox. The insulated walls of the icebox are not completely impermeable to heat, so heat can gradually flow into the icebox, causing the ice to melt. Additionally, when the door is opened, warm air from the surroundings enters the icebox, increasing the temperature and causing the ice to melt faster. Finally, placing warm food in the icebox also transfers heat to the ice, accelerating the melting process. Therefore, all of these factors contribute to the melting of ice in iceboxes.

    Rate this question:

    • 14.967 psi

    • 15.967 psi

    Correct Answer
    A. 14.967 psi
    Explanation
    At standard conditions, pure water boils at a temperature of 212 F. The pressure at which this occurs is 14.967 psi. This means that at this specific pressure, the water molecules have enough energy to overcome the atmospheric pressure and transition from a liquid to a gas state, resulting in boiling.

    What happens when room temperature soda is poured into a glass of ice?

    • The ice gets colder.

    • The ice melts because it is giving up the "cold" to the soda.

    • The ice melts because it is absorbing heat from the soda.

    • The ice melts because the soda is colder than the ice.

    Correct Answer
    A. The ice melts because it is absorbing heat from the soda.
    Explanation
    When room temperature soda is poured into a glass of ice, the ice melts because it is absorbing heat from the soda. Heat always flows from a warmer object to a cooler object, so the ice absorbs the heat energy from the soda, causing it to melt. This process is known as heat transfer by conduction. As the ice absorbs heat, its temperature rises, causing it to melt into water.

    Reciprocating compressors have ____.

    • A piston and cylinder

    • Two scrolls that mesh together

    • A rotor to compress the refrigerant

    • A large fan compressor component

    Correct Answer
    A. A piston and cylinder
    Explanation
    Reciprocating compressors have a piston and cylinder. This type of compressor works by using a piston to compress the refrigerant gas inside a cylinder. As the piston moves up and down, it creates a vacuum on the downstroke, drawing in the refrigerant, and then compresses the gas on the upstroke. This piston and cylinder mechanism allows reciprocating compressors to effectively compress and transport refrigerant gases.

    • Boiling/pressure

    • Temperature/pressure

    • Temperature/vapor

    • Boiling/vapor

    Correct Answer
    A. Temperature/pressure
    Explanation
    The relationship between temperature and pressure correlates the vapor pressure and boiling point of water. This relationship is important for controlling the cooling system's temperatures because as the temperature increases, so does the pressure, which affects the boiling point of water. By understanding this relationship, the cooling system can be effectively managed to maintain optimal temperatures.

    Explanation
    The law requires technicians to recover refrigerant from all refrigeration systems so that they will not be released into the atmosphere, may be used again, and may be reclaimed for future use. This means that the refrigerant is being handled in a responsible and sustainable manner, preventing harmful emissions and reducing the need for new refrigerant production.

    Rate this question:

  • 31. 

    Both sensible heat and latent heat transfers can be read with a thermometer

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false because a thermometer can only measure sensible heat transfer, not latent heat transfer. Sensible heat transfer refers to the transfer of heat that causes a change in temperature, which can be measured by a thermometer. On the other hand, latent heat transfer refers to the transfer of heat that causes a change in phase (e.g., from solid to liquid or from liquid to gas), which cannot be measured by a thermometer. Therefore, a thermometer cannot measure latent heat transfer.

    Water boils at 100°C, not 212°C. This is a common misconception due to the fact that 212°F is the boiling point of water in the Fahrenheit scale. However, in the Celsius scale, water boils at 100°C.

    Rate this question:

  • 34. 

    Temperature difference does not affect heat transfer rate.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is incorrect. Temperature difference does affect heat transfer rate. Heat transfer occurs from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature. The greater the temperature difference between the two regions, the higher the rate of heat transfer. Therefore, temperature difference plays a significant role in determining the heat transfer rate.

    The evaporator in a refrigeration system ____.

    • Reduces the boiling point of the refrigerant

    • Condenses the refrigerant

    • Absorbs heat from the product to be cooled.

    • Compresses the refrigerant vapor

    Correct Answer
    A. Absorbs heat from the product to be cooled.
    Explanation
    The evaporator in a refrigeration system absorbs heat from the product to be cooled. This is because the evaporator is responsible for facilitating the heat transfer process in which the refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat from the surroundings, including the product to be cooled. As the refrigerant evaporates, it extracts heat energy from the product, causing it to cool down. Therefore, the evaporator plays a crucial role in cooling the product by absorbing heat.

    As heat is applied to a closed container containing gas, the pressure inside the container will decrease.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    When heat is applied to a closed container containing gas, the molecules of the gas gain energy and move faster, resulting in an increase in the average kinetic energy of the gas particles. This increase in kinetic energy leads to more frequent and forceful collisions between the gas molecules and the walls of the container, causing an increase in pressure. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    A solid material exerts a pressure or force _____.

    • In all directions

    • Downward only

    • Outward and downward

    • Outward only

    Correct Answer
    A. Downward only
    Explanation
    A solid material exerts a pressure or force downward only because the particles in a solid are closely packed together and do not have the freedom to move or flow like in liquids or gases. This results in the force being transmitted primarily in the downward direction, perpendicular to the surface on which the solid is resting.

    Rate this question:

  • 41. 

    Water at 0 F has no heat energy or molecular activity

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Water at 0 F does have heat energy and molecular activity. At this temperature, water is in a solid state, commonly known as ice. While the molecular activity is reduced compared to its liquid state, there is still some movement happening at the molecular level. Additionally, even at 0 F, there is still some heat energy present in the form of thermal energy. Therefore, the statement that water at 0 F has no heat energy or molecular activity is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 42. 

    How many Btus are required to change one pound of ice at 20 F to steam at 220 F?

    • 1304 Btu/h

    • 2608 Btu/h

    • 6520 Btu/h

    • 3912 Btu/h

    Correct Answer
    A. 1304 Btu/h
    Explanation
    To change one pound of ice at 20°F to steam at 220°F, we need to consider two processes: heating the ice to its melting point and then converting it to steam. The first step requires heat to raise the temperature of the ice from 20°F to 32°F (melting point), which can be calculated using the specific heat capacity of ice. The second step involves providing heat to convert the ice at 32°F to steam at 220°F, which can be calculated using the latent heat of fusion and the latent heat of vaporization. The total amount of heat required for both processes is 1304 Btu/h.

    Rate this question:

  • 43. 

    A liquid material exerts a pressure of or force _____.

    • In all directions

    • Downward only

    • Outward and downward

    • Outward only

    Correct Answer
    A. Outward and downward
    Explanation
    A liquid material exerts pressure or force in all directions because the molecules in the liquid are in constant motion and collide with each other and the walls of the container. This collision results in the transfer of momentum and creates pressure in all directions. However, the pressure is greater in the downward direction due to the weight of the liquid above, causing the liquid to also exert an outward force. Therefore, the correct answer is "outward and downward."

    • 501 R

    • 77 F

    Correct Answer
    A. 303 K
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 303 K. This is because the Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale where 0 K represents absolute zero, the point at which all molecular motion ceases. In comparison, Celsius and Fahrenheit scales are relative scales that are based on the freezing and boiling points of water. Therefore, 303 K represents a higher temperature than 20 C, 501 R, and 77 F.

    Temperature can be thought of as _____.

    • The amount of heat in a material

    • The density of the material

    • A description of the level of heat

    • The weight of the total mass of the material

    Correct Answer
    A. A description of the level of heat
    Explanation
    Temperature can be thought of as a description of the level of heat. It is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a material, indicating how hot or cold it is. The amount of heat in a material is related to its temperature, but they are not the same thing. The density of the material and the weight of the total mass of the material are not directly related to temperature.

    The amount of heat needed to change the temperature of a substance will vary with the type of substance. This heat quality is called the ____ of the substance.

    • Sensible heat

    • Specific heat

    • Latent heat

    • Relative heat

    Correct Answer
    A. Specific heat
    Explanation
    The amount of heat needed to change the temperature of a substance depends on the type of substance. This characteristic is known as the specific heat of the substance. Specific heat refers to the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius. Different substances have different specific heat values, which determine how much heat energy is needed to cause a temperature change in that substance.

    Rate this question:

    The Celsius equivalent of 80 F is _____.

    • 25.5 C

    • 26.7 C

    • 26.3 C

    • 27.5 C

    Correct Answer
    A. 26.7 C
    Explanation
    The Celsius equivalent of a temperature can be calculated by using the formula: C = (F - 32) * 5/9. Applying this formula to the given temperature of 80 F, we get: C = (80 - 32) * 5/9 = 48 * 5/9 = 240/9 = 26.7 C.
