A 2.4-m high 200-m2 house is maintained at 22°C by an air-conditioning system whose COP, is 3.2. It is estimated that the kitch

en, bath, and other ventilating fans of the house discharge a houseful of conditioned air once every hour. If the average outdoor temperature is 32°C, the density of air is 1.20 kg/m3, and the unit cost of electricity is $0.10/kWh, the amount of money "vented out" by the fans in 10 hours is
(a) $0.50
(b) $1.60
(c) $5.00
(d) $11.00
(e) $16.00

Answer:

The amount that is "vented" out by "the fans" is <u>$0.50</u> for 10 hours.

Option: a

<u>Explanation</u>:

"Energy discharged by air in every hour" can be determined by,

\mathrm{Q}=\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{air}} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{p}} \Delta \mathrm{T}

Q = heat energy (Joules, J)  

m = mass of a substance (kg)  

c = specific heat (units J/kg∙K)  

\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{air}}=\rho \mathrm{v}

\text { Density of air } \rho=1.20 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}

\text { Density of air } \rho=1.20 \times 200 \times 2.4

\text { Density of air } \rho=576 \mathrm{kg}

∆T = 10 hours

\text { Specific Heat Capacities of Air. The nominal values used for air at } 300 \mathrm{K} \text { are } \mathrm{C_P}=1.00 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg} . \mathrm{K}

Q = 576 × 1.00 × 10

Q = 5760 kJ/hours

W = 1.6 kwh

We know that, “Coefficient of performance” (COP)

\mathrm{Cop}=\frac{Q}{w}

\mathrm{W}=\frac{Q}{\mathrm{cop}}

Given that, COP = 3.2

\mathrm{W}=\frac{1.6}{3.2}

W = 0.5 kwh

The unit cost of electricity is $0.10/kWh

The unit cost of electricity is $0.10/kWh

Unit electricity cost for 10 hours = 0.5 × 10 × 0.1$

Unit electricity cost for 10 hours = $0.5

The amount that is "vented out" by "the fans" is $0.50 for 10 hours.

A small ranger vehicle has a soft, ragtop roof. When the car is at rest, the roof is flat. When the car is cruising at highway s
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

roof bow upwards

Explanation:

The top of the roof of the small ranger vehicle will bow upwards. This is as a result of gas pressure on the soft ragtop roof.

  • As air begins to fill the vehicle, pressure resonates in all direction proportionally.
  • The pressure of the air will be greater than that which the roof can withstand and this forces the roof sky up.
  • It is a common scene when we see roof of ragtop vehicles bowing upwards into the sky.

According to the ph scale, which substance has the highest hydrogen ion concentration
Damm [24]

Answer:

C) stomach acid

Explanation:

D is wrong due to water have very little to hydrogen ion concentration. tomato juice has acids but it doesn't remove things like stomach acid. oven cleaner does remove some items, but not in a fast fashion like stomach acid. Stomach acid is extremely acidic and will melt about anything that comes in contact. burn is known for doing serious damage if it gets past the stomach lining.
