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

here is a true or false Question pl,ease help..... . In a closed system, the volume of a gas is not related to the volume of its
KIM [24]
There are four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas and plasma. Solid has a shape and volume of its own. A liquid takes the shape of the container does not occupy entirely the volume of the container.  For gas, it takes the shape of the container as well as taking the volume of the container. In this case, if the system is only composed of gas, the statement given is true.

What is the potential difference between a point 0.48 mm from a charge of 2.9 nc and a point at infinity?
Nuetrik [128]
The potential at a distance r from a charge Q is given by
V(r) = k_e  \frac{Q}{r}
where ke is the Coulomb's constant.

The charge in our problem is Q=2.9 nC=2.9 \cdot 10^{-9} C; for the point at r=0.48 mm=0.48 \cdot 10^{-3} m, the potential is
V_1 = k_e  \frac{Q}{r}= (8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2}) \frac{2.9 \cdot 10^{-9} C}{0.48 \cdot 10^{-3} m}=  5.43 \cdot 10^4 V

For the point at infinity, we immediately see that the potential is zero, because r= \infty and so V_2 = 0.

Therefore, the potential difference between the two points is
\Delta V = V_1 - V_2 = V_1 = 5.43 \cdot 10^4 V
