Answer:

COP of heat pump=3.013

COP of cycle=1.124

Explanation

W = Q2 - Q1 ----- equation 1

W = work done

Q2 = final energy

Q1 = initial energy

A) calculate the COP of the heat pump

COP =Q2/W

from equation 1

Q2 = Q1 + W = 15 + 7.45 = 22.45 KW

therefore COP =22.45/7.45  = 3.013

B) COP when cycle is reversed

COP = Q1/W

from equation 1

Q1 + W = Q2 ------ equation 2

Q2 = 15 Btu/s = 15 * 1.055 = 15.825 KW therefore from equation 2

Q1 = 8.375 KW

COP =8.375/7.45   = 1.124

Answer:

a) COP = 3.01

b) COP = 1.12

Explanation:

a) The heat is:

Q₂ = Q₁ + W = 15 + 7.45 = 22.45 kW

the COP of the heat pump is

COP = Q₂/W = 22.45/7.45 = 3.01

b) Operating as an air conditioner, the heat is

Q₁ = Q₂ - W = 8.375 kW

The COP is:

COP = Q₁/W = 8.375/7.45 = 1.12

while performing a running compression test how should running compression compare to static compression
algol [13]

Answer:

The idle speed of a running compression should be between 50-75 PSI and that is about half of the static compression.

Explanation:

The Running or Dynamic compression is used to determine how well the cylinder in an engine  is absorbing air, reserving it for the proper length of time, and releasing it to the exhaust. The static or cranking compression test is used to check the sealing of the cylinder. Before performing the running compression test, the static compression test is first performed to rule out other issues like bent valves.

The standard value for the static compression is given by;

Compression ratio * 14.7 = Manufacturers Specification

The running compression should always be half of the static compression.

A 225 MPa conducted in which the mean stress was 50 MPa and the stress amplitude was (a) Compute the maximum and (b) Compute the
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given data in question

mean stress  = 50 MPa

amplitude stress  = 225 MPa

to find out

maximum stress, stress ratio, magnitude of the stress range.

solution

we will find first  maximum stress  and minimum stress

and stress will be sum of (maximum +minimum stress) / 2

so for stress 50 MPa and 225 MPa

\sigma _{m} =  \sigma _{maximum} + \sigma _{minimum}  / 2

50 =  \sigma _{maximum} + \sigma _{minimum}  / 2    ...........1

and

225 =  \sigma _{maximum} + \sigma _{minimum}  / 2      ...........2

from eqution 1 and 2 we get maximum and minimum stress

\sigma _{maximum} = 275 MPa        ............3

and \sigma _{minimum} = -175 MPa     ............4

In 2nd part we stress ratio is will compute by ratio of equation 3 and 4

we get ratio =  \sigma _{minimum} / \sigma _{maximum}

ratio = -175 / 227

ratio = -0.64

now in 3rd part magnitude will calculate by subtracting maximum stress - minimum stress i.e.

magnitude = \sigma _{maximum} - \sigma _{minimum}  

magnitude = 275 - (-175) = 450 MPa
