The hot water needs of an office are met by heating tab water by a heat pump from 16 C to 50 C at an average rate of 0.2 kg/min.

If the COP of this heat pump is 2.8, the required power input is: (a) 1.33 kW (d) 10.2 kW (b) 0.17 kW (c) 0.041 kW

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

given,

heating tap water from 16° C to 50° C

at the average rate of 0.2 kg/min

the COP of this heat pump is 2.8

power output = ?

COP = \dfrac{Q_H}{W_{in}}\\W_{in} = \dfrac{Q_H}{COP}\\W_{in} = \dfrac{\dfrac{0.2}{60}\times 4.18\times (50-16)}{2.8}\\W_{in} = 0.169

the required power input is 0.169 kW or 0.17 kW

hence, the correct answer is option B

Examples of reciprocating motion in daily life
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Examples of reciprocating motion in daily life are;

1) The needles of a sewing machine

2) Electric powered reciprocating saw blade

3) The motion of a manual tire pump

Explanation:

A reciprocating motion is a motion that consists of motion of a part in an upward and downwards (\updownarrow) or in a backward and forward (↔) direction repetitively

Examples of reciprocating motion in daily life includes the reciprocating motion of the needles of a sewing machine and the reciprocating motion of the reciprocating saw and the motion of a manual tire pump

In a sewing machine, a crank shaft in between a wheel and the needle transforms the rotary motion of the wheel into reciprocating motion of the needle.

The 30-kg gear is subjected to a force of P=(20t)N where t is in seconds. Determine the angular velocity of the gear at t=4s sta
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

\omega =\frac{24}{1.14375}=20.983\frac{rad}{s}

Explanation:

Previous concepts

Angular momentum. If we consider a particle of mass m, with velocity v, moving under the influence of a force F. The angular  momentum about point O is defined as the “moment” of the particle’s linear momentum, L, about O. And the correct formula is:

H_o =r x mv=rxL

Applying Newton’s second law to the right hand side of the above equation, we have that r ×ma = r ×F =

MO, where MO is the moment of the force F about point O. The equation expressing the rate of change  of angular momentum is this one:

MO = H˙ O

Principle of Angular Impulse and Momentum

The equation MO = H˙ O gives us the instantaneous relation between the moment and the time rate of change of angular  momentum. Imagine now that the force considered acts on a particle between time t1 and time t2. The equation MO = H˙ O can then be integrated in time to obtain this:

\int_{t_1}^{t_2}M_O dt = \int_{t_1}^{t_2}H_O dt=H_0t2 -H_0t1

Solution to the problem

For this case we can use the principle of angular impulse and momentum that states "The mass moment of inertia of a gear about its mass center is I_o =mK^2_o =30kg(0.125m)^2 =0.46875 kgm^2".

If we analyze the staritning point we see that the initial velocity can be founded like this:

v_o =\omega r_{OIC}=\omega (0.15m)

And if we look the figure attached we can use the point A as a reference to calculate the angular impulse and momentum equation, like this:

H_Ai +\sum \int_{t_i}^{t_f} M_A dt =H_Af

0+\sum \int_{0}^{4} 20t (0.15m) dt =0.46875 \omega + 30kg[\omega(0.15m)](0.15m)

And if we integrate the left part and we simplify the right part we have

1.5(4^2)-1.5(0^2) = 0.46875\omega +0.675\omega=1.14375\omega

And if we solve for \omega we got:

\omega =\frac{24}{1.14375}=20.983\frac{rad}{s}

In the fully developed region of flow in a circular pipe, does the velocity profile change in the flow direction?
taurus [48]

Answer:

<em>No, the velocity profile does not change in the flow direction.</em>

Explanation:

In a fluid flow in a circular pipe, the boundary layer thickness increases in the direction of flow, until it reaches the center of the pipe, and fill the whole pipe. If the density, and other properties of the fluid does not change either by heating or cooling of the pipe, <em>then the velocity profile downstream becomes fully developed, and constant, and does not change in the direction of flow.</em>
