A heat pump cycle whose coefficient of performance is 2.5 delivers energy by heat transfer to a dwelling at a rate of 20kW.

Engineering

8 0

Answer:

a) 8kW

b) $128

Explanation:

Given the coefficient of performance of the heat pump cycle to be 2.5

Energy delivered by the heat pump = 20kW

a) net power required to operate the heat pump = Energy delivered / coefficient of performance

Net power required = 20/2.5

= 8kW

b) Given the cost of electricity is $0.08 for 1kWhour

Since net power required to operate heat pump = 8kW

If the heat pump operate for 200hours, total power required for a month = 8kW×200hours = 1600kWhour

since 1kWh of electricity costs $0.08, cost of electricity used in a month when the pump operates for 200hour will be 1600kWh×$0.08 which is equivalent to $128

1.The moist unit weights and degrees of saturation of a soil are given: moist unit weight (1) = 16.62 kN/m^3, degree of saturati
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Gs = 2.647

e = 0.7986

Explanation:

We know that moist unit weight of soil is given as

\gamma_m \ or\ bulk\ density = \frac{(Gs+Se)\times \gamma_w}{(1+e)}

where,  \gamma_m = moist unit weight of the soil

Gs = specific gravity of the soil

S = degree of saturation

e = void ratio

\gamma_w = unit weight of water = 9.81 kN/m3

From data given we know that:

At 50% saturation,\gamma_m = 16.62 kN/m3

puttng all value to get Gs value;

16.62= \frac{(Gs+0.5*e)\timees 9.81}{(1+e)}

Gs - 1.194*e = 1.694 .........(1)

for saturaion 75%, unit weight = 17.71 KN/m3

17.71 = \frac{(Gs+0.75*e)\times 9.81}{(1+e)}

Gs - 1.055*e = 1.805 .........(2)

solving both  equations (1) and (2), we obtained;

Gs = 2.647

e = 0.7986

There is an electric field near the Earth's surface whose magnitude is about 145 V/m . How much energy is stored per cubic meter
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

u_e = 9.3 * 10^-8 J / m^3  ( 2 sig. fig)

Explanation:

Given:

- Electric Field strength near earth's surface E = 145 V / m

- permittivity of free space (electric constant) e_o =  8.854 *10^-12 s^4 A^2 / m^3 kg

Find:

- How much energy is stored per cubic meter in this field?

Solution:

- The solution requires the energy density stored between earth's surface and the source of electric field strength. The formula for charge density is given by:

                                        u_e = 0.5*e_o * E^2

- Plug in the values given:

                                        u_e = 0.5*8.854 *10^-12 *145^2

                                        u_e = 9.30777 * 10^-8  J/m^3

Which explanation best identifies why the company in the following scenario has decided against investing in solar energy?
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The company found the cost of the required photovoltaic cells too expensive.

Explanation:

Solar energy can be used as an alternative source of supply for fuel. Solar energy is a renewable source of energy, that is it keeps on replenishing every day. Also solar energy does not require a lot of maintenance.

The cost required is starting a solar system is very high because one needs to buy solar panel, photovoltaic cells for batteries, inverters and so on.

From the question, the company decided against solar energy for the time being. This means that probably in the future they might consider it. Therefore it is as a result of the economic situation of the company that they have not set up a solar system because the cost of the required photovoltaic cells too expensive.
