Explanation:
Notice that the condenser section includes both the hot water and space heater and station (3) is specified as being in the Quality region. Assume that 50°C is a reasonable maximum hot water temperature for home usage, thus at a high pressure of 1.6 MPa, the maximum power available for hot water heating will occur when the refrigerant at station (3) reaches the saturated liquid state. (Quick Quiz: justify this statement). Assume also that the refrigerant at station (4) reaches a subcooled liquid temperature of 20°C while heating the air.
Using the conditions shown on the diagram and assuming that station (3) is at the saturated liquid state
a) On the P-h diagram provided below carefully plot the five processes of the heat pump together with the following constant temperature lines: 50°C (hot water), 13°C (ground loop), and -10°C (outside air temperature)
b) Using the R134a property tables determine the enthalpies at all five stations and verify and indicate their values on the P-h diagram.
c) Determine the mass flow rate of the refrigerant R134a. [0.0127 kg/s]
d) Determine the power absorbed by the hot water heater [2.0 kW] and that absorbed by the space heater [0.72 kW].
e) Determine the time taken for 100 liters of water at an initial temperature of 20°C to reach the required hot water temperature of 50°C [105 minutes].
f) Determine the Coefficient of Performance of the hot water heater [COPHW = 4.0] (defined as the heat absorbed by the hot water divided by the work done on the compressor)
g) Determine the Coefficient of Performance of the heat pump [COPHP = 5.4] (defined as the total heat rejected by the refrigerant in the hot water and space heaters divided by the work done on the compressor)
h) What changes would be required of the system parameters if no geothermal water loop was used, and the evaporator was required to absorb its heat from the outside air at -10°C. Discuss the advantages of the geothermal heat pump system over other means of space and water heating
Answer:
The correct answer is - 43%.
Explanation: The increase in CO2 between these two suggested periods is approximately 43%. Even though it is a natural process that the CO2 levels vary in the atmosphere, still this is not the same case nowadays. Nowadays, or rather in the past few decades, apart from the natural increase of CO2 in the atmosphere, it has seen a much more increased levels because of the human activity. The industrial facilities and the vehicles, the cutting of the forests and burning the wood (there's both release of CO2 from the burning of the trees and loss of natural accumulator of the CO2), are just some of the more important human activities that contribute to a significant rise in the CO2 levels.
Answer:
B)60km[W]
Explanation:
The boat travels 20km/h. So every hour the boat goes 20 miles. So if one hour equals 20km. Then 3 hours will be 3*20km which equals 60km. The boat is also going west. So you should consider putting that in your answer as well. So the answer would be B)60km[W].
Hope that helps!
Answer:(c)
Explanation:
Charge particle posses a region of influence called a filed i.e. Electric field.
It is a region around the charged particle such that other charge particle experiences force due to this field. The nature of force is decided by the charge on the particle creating an electric field.
For a positive charge, electric field lines emerge out of it, and for a negative charge, it acts as radially inwards.
<h2>
Answer: an underground lake</h2>
Explanation:
In general, sound (mechanical waves) travels faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases. This is because <u>the speed of the mechanical waves is determined by a relationship between the elastic properties of the medium </u>in which they are propagated and the mass per unit volume of the medium (that is:<u>density</u>).
In other words: The speed of sound varies depending on the medium through which the sound waves travel.
So, if we are told the sound wave initially had a speed of 4,000 m/s and it suddenly decreases to 1,500 m/s, this means the sound waves passed from a solid medium to a liquid medium.
Hence, the correct option is: an underground lake.
