How does a heat pump resemble a refrigeration system?

Physics
1 answer:
REY [17]3 years ago
3 0
A heat pump is a device that is capable of transferring heat energy from a source of heat to what is known as the heat sink. It also moves thermal energy in the opposite direction of a spontaneous heat transfer through heat absorption from a cold space and releasing it to a warmer space.

When a heat pump is being utilized for heating, it employs the same principle with that of the refrigeration cycle used by an air conditioner or a refrigerator, but in the opposite direction since it releases heat into a conditioned space rather than the surrounding environment. Moreover, heat pump resembles much as refrigeration since it has the same components with the latter except for the presence of a reverse valve.

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

594.8 Hz

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Speed of sound, v = 345 m/s

Wavelength = 58 cm = 0.58 m

Speed of a wave is given as:

Speed = wavelength * frequency

Therefore:

Frequency = Speed/Wavelength

Frequency = 345/0.58

Frequency = 594.8 Hz

Why is the specific heat capacity of the human body close to, but somewhat less than, that of water?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Because most of the human body (about 70% of it) consists of water

Explanation:

The main reason why the specific heat capacity of the human body is very close to that of water is that water makes approximately 70% of the substances of which the human body consists. However, the human body has a slightly smaller specific heat capacity than water, because it contains also other elements/substances, and since water is one of the substances with the higher specific heat capacity at all, the specific heat capacity of the body is a bit smaller.
