Answer:

<h2>The Invention of the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE)</h2>

Explanation:

The internal combustion engine is an engine in which ignition and combustion take place in the engine(in one place), the invention of the ICE was an integral part of the industrial revolution, as there was increasing demand for power, and manual labor could not suffice, especially during the mid 19 century.

The ICE made it possible for tasks that demand intensive power consumption to come through to reality, it was as a result of the invention of the ICE that road transportation was made easier for mankind, as the means of transport then was the use of beast of burden, now we have cars, airplanes ship, etc, essentially the invention of ICE reduced the tedious task man would have to engage in for his daily needs

The structure of a house is such that it loses heat at a rate of 4500kJ/h per °C difference between the indoors and outdoors. A

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

15.24°C

Explanation:

The quality of any heat pump pumping heat from cold to hot place is determined by its coefficient of performance (COP) defined as

$COP=\frac{Q_{in}}{W}$

Where Q_{in} is heat delivered into the hot place, in this case, the house, and W is the work used to pump heat

You can think of this quantity as similar to heat engine's efficiency

In our case, the COP of our heater is

$COP_{heater} = \frac{\frac{4500\ kJ}{3600\ s} *(T_{house}-T_{out})}{4\ kW}$

Where T_{house} = 24°C and T_{out} is temperature outside

To achieve maximum heating, we will have to use the most efficient heat pump, and, according to the second law of thermodynamics, nothing is more efficient that Carnot Heat Pump

Which has COP of:

$COP_{carnot}=\frac{T_{house}}{T_{house}-T_{out}}$

So we equate the COP of our heater with COP of Carnot heater

$\frac{1.25 *(T_{house}-T_{out})}{4}=\frac{T_{house}}{T_{house}-T_{out}}$

Rearrange the equation

$\frac{1.25}{4}(24-T_{out})^2-24=0$

Solve this simple quadratic equation, and you should get that the lowest outdoor temperature that could still allow heat to be pumped into your house would be

Without motorcycle riders are at risk of severe injury in a crash ?

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. proper protection

Explanation:

Motorcycle riders ride the motorcycle while at some level of speed while having the entire body exposed to be a major part of any collision.

Injuries sustained from motorcycle accidents are several times more severe than injuries sustained by occupants of a car that is fully protected by the metallic panel in the same and even more serious accident scenarios

Hence, motorcycle riders require adequate protection by putting on available motorcyclist safety gear

Therefore, to reduce the risk of severe injury n a crash, motorcycle riders require proper protection.
