A heat pump designer claims to have an air-source heat pump whose coefficient of performance is 1.8 when heating a building whos

e interior temperature is 300 K and when the atmospheric air surrounding the building is at 260 K. Is this claim valid

3 0

Answer:

The claim is valid.

Explanation:

Let assume that heat pump is reversible. The coefficient of performance for the heat pump is:

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

COP_{HP} = \frac{300\,K}{300\,K-260\,K}

COP_{HP} = 7.5

The claim is valid as real heat pumps have lower coefficients of performance.

why is the thermal conductivity of super insolation order of magnitude lower than the thermal conductivity of ordinary insulatio
Anni [7]

Answer:

Super insulation are obtained by using layers of highly reflective sheets separated by glass fibers in an vacuumed space. Radiation heat transfer between any of the surfaces is inversely proportional to the number of sheets used and thus heat lost by radiation will be very low by using these highly reflective sheets which will an effective way of heat transfer.

For a fluid with a Prandtl Number of 1000.0, the hydrodynamic layer is thinner than the thermal boundary layers. a) True b) Fals
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

(b)False

Explanation:

Given:

 Prandtl number(Pr) =1000.

We know that   Pr=\dfrac{\nu }{\alpha }

  Where \nu is the molecular diffusivity of momentum

             \alpha is the molecular diffusivity of heat.

 Prandtl number(Pr) can also be defined as

    Pr=\left (\dfrac{\delta }{\delta _t}\right )^3

Where \delta is the hydrodynamic boundary layer thickness and \delta_t is the thermal boundary layer thickness.

So if Pr>1 then hydrodynamic boundary layer thickness will be greater than thermal boundary layer thickness.

In given question Pr>1 so  hydrodynamic boundary layer thickness will be greater than thermal boundary layer thickness.

So hydrodynamic layer will be thicker than the thermal boundary layer.

Technician A says that a way to prevent galvanic corrosion is to duplicate the original installation method. Technician B says t
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Technician A

Explanation:

Galvanic corrosion is not on only one metal alone but caused when two metals are interacting. Thus, Duplicating the original installation method is a better option because re-using a coated bolt doesn't prevent galvanic corrosion because both materials must be coated and not just the bolt and in technician B's case he is coating just the bolt. Thus, technician B's method will not achieve prevention of galvanic corrosion but technician A's method will achieve it.

Repetitive movements at work can lead to injuries. True or False
OverLord2011 [107]
Answer

True

Explanation

RSI can occur when you do repetitive movements. Those movements can cause your muscles and tendons to become damaged over time. Some activities that can increase your risk for RSI are: stressing the same muscles through repetition.
