A heat engine receives heat from a heat source at 1453 C and has a thermal efficiency of 43 percent. The heat engine does maximu

m work equal to 539 kJ. Determine: a) the heat supplied to the heat engine by the heat source (kJ), b) the heat rejected to the heat sink (kJ), and c) the temperature of the heat sink (C).

Answer:

a) 1253 kJ

b) 714 kJ

c) 946 C

Explanation:

The thermal efficiency is given by this equation

η = L/Q1

Where

η: thermal efficiency

L: useful work

Q1: heat taken from the heat source

Rearranging:

Q1 = L/η

Replacing

Q1 = 539 / 0.43 = 1253 kJ

The first law of thermodynamics states that:

Q = L + ΔU

For a machine working in cycles ΔU is zero between homologous parts of the cycle.

Also we must remember that we count heat entering the system as positiv and heat leaving as negative.

We split the heat on the part that enters and the part that leaves.

Q1 + Q2 = L + 0

Q2 = L - Q1

Q2 = 539 - 1253 = -714 kJ

TO calculate a temperature for the heat sink we must consider this cycle as a Carnot cycle. Then we can use the thermal efficiency equation for the Carnot cycle, this one uses temperatures:

η = 1 - T2/T1

T2/T1 = 1 - η

T2 = (1 - η) * T1

The temperatures must be given in absolute scale (1453 C = 1180 K)

T2 = (1 - 0.43) * 1180 = 673 K

673 K = 946 C

Is the COP of a heat pump always larger than 1?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Yes it is true that COP of heat pump always greater than 1.But the COP of refrigeration can be greater or less than 1.

We know that

COP of heat pump=  1 + COP of refrigeration

It is clear that COP can not be negative .So from the above expression we can say that COP of heat pump is always greater than one.

What are the parameters that affect life and drag forces on an aerofoil?
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

1.The velocity of fluid

2.Fluid properties.

3.Projected area of object(geometry of the object).

Explanation:

Drag force:

 Drag force is a frictional force which offered by fluid when a object is moving in it.Drag force try to oppose the motion of object when object is moving in a medium.

Drag force given as

F_D=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho\ A\ V^2

So we can say that drag force depends on following properties

1.The velocity of fluid

2.Fluid properties.

3.Projected area of object(geometry of the object).

andriy [413]

If ceramic vessels are typed together based as they were all used as storage containers, in spite of the fact that design elements indicate they are from different time periods, then they have to be  functional typeoperational typesystematic type is given below

Explanation:

The Batiscan site, excavated in the 1960s, produced one of the largest Vinette I collections known to date. Revisiting this ceramic assemblage has revealed more heterogeneity than is generally recognized within the Vinette I type of pottery. Indeed, variations from the typological definition exist, both within and between Early Woodland ceramic collections. A number of diagnostic traits, such as the presence of exterior and interior cord impressions and the absence of decoration, are challenged by the present study. It is hypothesized that part of this variability is chronological, and that the vessels from Batiscan were manufactured closer to the end of the Early Woodland period. However, other factors, such as the frequency and scale of production, and the possible exchange and circulation of ceramic containers, must also be taken into account when interpreting Vinette I variability.l
