A heat pump receives heat from a lake that has an average wintertime temperature of 6o C and supplies heat into a house having a

n average temperature of 25o C. (a) If the house loses heat to the atmosphere at the rate of 60,000 kJ/h, determine the minimum power supplied to the heat pump (in kW) that can maintain the interior temperature of the house at 25o C. (b) Suppose the heat pump absorbs energy from

Answer:

a) \dot W = 1.062\,kW

Explanation:

a) Let consider that heat pump is reversible, so that the Coefficient of Performance is:

COP_{HP} = \frac{T_{H}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}

COP_{HP} = \frac{298.15\,K}{298.15\,K-279.15\,K}

COP_{HP} = 15.692

The minimum heat received by the house must be equal to the heat lost to keep the average temperature constant. Hence:

\dot Q_{H} = 60000\,\frac{kJ}{h}

The minimum power supplied to the heat pump is:

\dot W = \frac{\dot Q_{H}}{COP}

\dot W = \frac{\left(60000\,\frac{kJ}{h}  \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s}  \right)}{15.692}

\dot W = 1.062\,kW

Consider a simply supported rectangular beam with a span length of 10 ft, a width of 8 in, and an effective depth of 20 in. Norm
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

beam with a span length of 10 ft, a width of 8 in, and an effective depth of 20 in. Normal weight concrete is used for the beam. This beam carries a total factored load of 9.4 kips. The beam is reinforced with tensile steel, which continues uninterrupted into the support. The concrete has a strength of 4000 psi, and the yield strength of the steel is 60,000 psi. Using No. 3 bars and 60,000 psi steel for stirrups, do the followings:

Prefix version of 6600 volts​
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

6.6 kilo volts = 6.6 k volts

Explanation:

A prefix is a word, number or a letter that is added before another word. In physics we have different prefixes for the exponential powers of 10, that are placed before units in place of those powers. Some examples are:

deci (d)   ------  10⁻¹

centi (c)   ------  10⁻²

milli (m)   ------   10⁻³

kilo (k)     ------   10³

mega (M) -----   10⁶

giga (G)   ------   10⁹

We have:

6600 volts

converting to exponential form:

=> 6.6 x 10³ volts

Thus, we know that the prefix of kilo (k) is used for 10³.

Hence,

=> <u>6.6 kilo volts = 6.6 k volts</u>

Let's model this housing price data! Before we can do this, however, we need to split the data into training and test sets. Reme
Lilit [14]

The program reads in a dataset into a pandas dataframe, and uses the train_test_split function in the sklearn library to split the data into <em>training and test sets</em>. The code goes thus :

import pandas as pd

<em>#import</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>pandas</em><em> </em><em>dataframe</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>alias</em><em> </em><em>it</em><em> </em><em>as</em><em> </em><em>pd</em>

from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

<em>#import</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>train_test_split</em><em> </em><em>function</em><em> </em>

housing_df = pd.read_csv('housing price.csv')

<em>#read</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>housing</em><em> </em><em>data</em><em> </em>

features_df = df.iloc[:,1:]

<em>#seperate</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>features</em><em> </em><em>from</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>label</em><em> </em><em>;</em>

target_df = df.iloc[:,0]

<em>#put</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>label</em><em> </em><em>into</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>seperate</em><em> </em><em>dataframe</em><em> </em><em>as</em><em> </em><em>well</em><em>.</em><em> </em>

X_train, X_test, Y_train, Y_test = train_test_split(features_df, target_df, test_size = 0.1, random_state = 1)

<em>#uses</em><em> </em><em>tuple</em><em> </em><em>unpacking</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>randomly</em><em> </em><em>assign</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>data</em><em> </em><em>each</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em> </em><em>variables</em><em>.</em><em> </em>

<em>#</em><em>Test</em><em> </em><em>size</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>test</em><em> </em><em>percent</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>entire</em><em> </em><em>dataset</em><em> </em>

Find the mechanical average of a wheel axle System of the wheel has a radius of 1.5 feet in the accident has a radius of 6 inche
kvasek [131]

Answer:

Mechanical average of a wheel = 3

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of wheel = 1.5 ft = 1.5 x 12 = 18 inches

Radius of axle = 6 inches

Find:

Mechanical average of a wheel

Computation:

Mechanical average of a wheel = Radius of wheel / Radius of axle

Mechanical average of a wheel = 18 / 6

Mechanical average of a wheel = 3
