Answer:

The minimum work per unit heat transfer will be 0.15.

Explanation:

We know the for a heat pump the coefficient of performance (C_{HP}) is given by

C_{HP} = \dfrac{Q_{H}}{W_{in}}

where, Q_{H} is the magnitude of heat transfer between cyclic device and    high-temperature medium at temperature T_{H} and W_{in} is the required input and is given by W_{in} = Q_{H} - Q_{L}, Q_{L} being magnitude of heat transfer between cyclic device and low-temperature T_{L}. Therefore, from above equation we can write,

&& \dfrac{Q_{H}}{W_{in}} = \dfrac{Q_{H}}{Q_{H} - Q_{L}} = \dfrac{1}{1 - \dfrac{Q_{L}}{Q_{H}}} = \dfrac{1}{1 - \dfrac{T_{L}}{T_{H}}}

Given, T_{L} = 460 K and T_{H} = 540 K. So,  the minimum work per unit heat transfer is given by

\dfrac{W_{in}}{Q_{H}} = \dfrac{T_{H} - T_{L}}{T_{H}} = \dfrac{540 - 460}{540} = 0.15

PLEASE HELP!!! When you lift a book from the ground to your desk, what kind of work do you do, negative or positive? By lifting
Snowcat [4.5K]

When someone lifts a book from the ground, the work you use is positive. By lifting the book, you change it's energy and it's original place The book gains, kinectic energy.


Hope I helped.
