A NATO base in northern Norway is warmed with a heat pump that uses 7.0 °C ocean water as the cold reservoir. Heat extracted fro

m the ocean water warms fluid to 80°C; this warmed fluid is used to heat the building. When the system is working at full capacity, 2,000 kW of heat is delivered to the building at the cost of 600 kW of electric energy. a. What is the actual coefficient of performance of the system? b. What is the theoretical maximum coefficient of performance of the system?

Answer:

3.33, 4.84

Explanation:

A) Actual coefficient of performance can be calculated by the formula stated below

Actual COP = heat delivered/ work required

Actual COP = 2,000/600

Actual COP = 3.33

B) Th = High temperature = 80°C + 273 = 353K

Tl = Low temperature = 7°C + 273 = 280K

The theoretical maximum coefficient of performance can ve calculated by the formula

Theoretical COP = Th/(Th-Tl)

Theoretical COP = 353/(353-280)

Theoretical COP = 353/73

Theoretical COP = 4.84

The big bang theory has finally answered one of the biggest questions of science—the origin of the universe.
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

According to the big bang theory, matter was an infinitely small and very high density point which at one point exploded and expanded in all directions, creating what we know as our Universe, which also includes space and time . This happened about 13.8 billion years ago. Theoretical physicists have managed to reconstruct this chronology of events from 1/100 of a second after the Big Bang. After the explosion, while the Universe expanded, it cooled sufficiently and the first subatomic particles were formed: Electrons, Positrons, Mesons, Barions, Neutrinos, Photons among others. Today more than 90 particles are known. This theory solves many unknowns and is very well received by the scientific community, however there is still much to solve, for example, one of the great unsolved scientific problems in the expanding Universe model is whether the Universe is open or closed.

An attempt to solve this problem is to determine if the average density of matter in the Universe is greater than the critical value in Friedmann's model. The mass of a galaxy can be measured by observing the movement of its stars; multiplying the mass of each galaxy by the number of galaxies, it is seen that the density is only 5 to 10% of the critical value.

Where is the switch located on this diagram?
Fed [463]
For this case, the switch is located at point B of the diagram.
 Remember that point D is the universal symbol for resistance.
 In A what you have is a source of power and in C what you have is a cable.
 Therefore, the answer for this case is B.

Which term is a scalar quantity?
balu736 [363]
Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. Distance is a scalar quantity. It refers only to how far an object has traveled. For example, 4 feet is a distance; it gives no information about direction.
