The structure of a house is such that it loses heat at a rate of 4500kJ/h per °C difference between the indoors and outdoors. A

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

15.24°C

Explanation:

The quality of any heat pump pumping heat from cold to hot place is determined by its coefficient of performance (COP) defined as

$COP=\frac{Q_{in}}{W}$

Where Q_{in} is heat delivered into the hot place, in this case, the house, and W is the work used to pump heat

You can think of this quantity as similar to heat engine's efficiency

In our case, the COP of our heater is

$COP_{heater} = \frac{\frac{4500\ kJ}{3600\ s} *(T_{house}-T_{out})}{4\ kW}$

Where T_{house} = 24°C and T_{out} is temperature outside

To achieve maximum heating, we will have to use the most efficient heat pump, and, according to the second law of thermodynamics, nothing is more efficient that Carnot Heat Pump

Which has COP of:

$COP_{carnot}=\frac{T_{house}}{T_{house}-T_{out}}$

So we equate the COP of our heater with COP of Carnot heater

$\frac{1.25 *(T_{house}-T_{out})}{4}=\frac{T_{house}}{T_{house}-T_{out}}$

Rearrange the equation

$\frac{1.25}{4}(24-T_{out})^2-24=0$

Solve this simple quadratic equation, and you should get that the lowest outdoor temperature that could still allow heat to be pumped into your house would be

You are asked to design a software package for an On-line Banking System (OBS). The OBS will take requests from its user on the

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

From the statements described above,The proposed software package Online Banking System(OBS) shall provide the following services to the customer(account holder)

Receive all transaction requests from the customers trough online to perform banking activities

Offer a variety of services in banking like:

Opening an account with facilities of Savings,Checking and CD

Issuing checks and check clearance

Transfer of funds between savings and checking account

Establishing a CD(Certificate of Deposit)

Performing routine activities like

Deposit or withdraw funds from a checking account

Closing an account in one of the following operation

Complete closure of account

Closing only savings account

Withdraw CD (on Maturity of CD deposits) and close CD account

Unlike traditional Banking system, OBS offers all the operations through On-line mode over the internet thereby it eliminates manual intervention for the banking transactions from the Bank's side for most of the transactions except some cases like verification of new account applications or complaint redressal and technical support .In such cases ,There will be some users of the software with special privileges to access certain services to perform activities like user data verification and technical support.

Step:1 Identification of actors and software entities for the system to be implemented

The following are the actors identified in the system

Actors:

The users of the proposed system were classified as:

Customer : A user with an active account

Guest user:The user who applies for an account

Administrator:Maintainsand Controls OBS

Manager: Manages the transactions and Banking related issues

Technical Manager: Resolves technical issues of customers

Software entities:

Bank database :Maintains the data of all user accounts

Application server : Maintains the application software components and hosts the OBS website

Automatic Clearing House system : Processes transactions for checks

Step 2: Designing use cases

Use case diagrams are used to describe the system model by representing a set of use cases .Each use case represents a set of actions performed on the system by an actor.

The following are the two approaches of representing the system in a use case model:

1.Representing a use case for actions done by actors e.g. login , logout,message etc.,

2.Representing a use case for business process(Business use cases) e.g. transfer,registration etc.,

The following is the description of five possible business use cases for the requirements specified above

g A circular oil slick of uniform thickness is caused by a spill of one cubic meter of oil. The thickness of the oil slick is de

Anika [276]

Answer:

the rate of increase of radius is dR/dt = 0.804 m/hour = 80.4 cm/hour

Explanation:

the slick of oil can be modelled as a cylinder of radius R and thickness h, therefore the volume V is

V = πR² * h

thus

h = V / (πR²)

Considering that the volume of the slick remains constant, the rate of change of radius will be

dh/dt = V d[1/(πR²)]/dt

dh/dt = (V/π) (-2)/R³ *dR/dt

therefore

dR/dt = (-dh/dt)* (R³/2) * (π/V)

where dR/dt = rate of increase of the radius , (-dh/dt)= rate of decrease of thickness

when the radius is R=8 m , dR/dt is

dR/dt = (-dh/dt)* (R³/2) * (π/V) = 0.1 cm/hour *(8m)³/2 * π/1m³ *(1m/100 cm)= 0.804 m/hour = 80.4 cm/hour
