A completely reversible heat pump produces heat ata rate of 300 kW to warm a house maintained at 24°C. Theexterior air, which is

at 7°C, serves as the source. Calculate the rate of entropy change of the two reservoirs and determine if this heat pump satisfies the second law according to the increase of entropy principle.

Answer:

Change in entropy S = 0.061

Second law of thermodynamics is satisfied since there is an increase in entropy

Explanation:

Heat Q = 300 kW

T2 = 24°C = 297 K

T1 = 7°C = 280 K

Change in entropy =

S = Q(1/T1 - 1/T2)

= 300(1/280 - 1/297) = 0.061

There is a positive increase in entropy so the second law is satisfied.

When CO2 rises, temperature rises. Why do you think this is?
icang [17]

Answer:

The warming causes the oceans to release CO2. The CO2 amplifies the warming and mixes through the atmosphere, spreading warming throughout the planet. So CO2 causes warming AND rising temperature causes CO2 rise. Overall, about 90% of the global warming occurs after the CO2 increase.

In several sentences, please discuss:
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Everything is explained below in the Explanation section.

Explanation:

<em>a) TMDL stands for = Total Daily Maximum Loads</em>

TMDL is the measure of total maximum amount of pollutant allowed in the water body. TMDL is a important tool to maintain the quality of water and measure the aquatic pollution.

Whereas, the formula to calculate TMDL is as follows:

TMDL =  Sum of waste load allocations (point source) + Sum of load allocations (non point sources and background) + Margin of Safety

 

<em>b) Dead Zones :</em>

Dead zones are zones which are termed as hypoxic which are low in oxygen because of the extreme aquatic pollution caused by human activities which in result deplete the oxygen level above the and below the oceans most required by the marine life. In addition, dead zones are those areas where oxygen is low and life in danger is high comparatively to other areas of oceans.

The main cause of that dead zones is because of eutrophication which means adding dangerous chemical nutrients in the water in exceeding amounts.

<em>c) Why Ammonia-nitrogen is detrimental to waterbodies: </em>

1. Ammonia nitrogen is a very toxic pollutant often found in landfills and sewage and waste products.

2. Ammonia nitrogen reduces the ability of water to disinfect its inhabitants and it reduces the purity. Furthermore, it changes the smell of the water and pollutes it.

3. Last but not the least, if you increase the concentration of ammonia nitrogen, the dissolved oxygen rate will be decreased and it has a inverse relation which is very dangerous to marine life underwater.

<em>d) Streeter-Phelps DO curve:</em>

Please refer to the attachment, I have attached the curve.

This curve is used to evaluate the dissolved oxygen in the water with varying distance.

It can be further studied from the curve that, how much loss sewage and other pollutants can endure upon the marine life.

Water is flowing at a rate of 0.15 ft3/s in a 6 inch diameter pipe. The water then goes through a sudden contraction to a 2 inch
Georgia [21]

Answer:

Head loss=0.00366 ft

Explanation:

Given :Water flow rate Q=0.15 \frac{ft^{3}}{sec}

         D_{1}= 6 inch=0.5 ft

        D_{2}=2 inch=0.1667 ft

As we know that Q=AV

A_{1}\times V_{1}=A_{2}\times V_{2}

So V_{2}=\frac{Q}{A_2}

     V_{2}=\dfrac{.015}{\frac{3.14}{4}\times 0.1667^{2}}

     V_{2=0.687 ft/sec

We know that Head loss due to sudden contraction

           h_{l}=K\frac{V_{2}^2}{2g}

If nothing is given then take K=0.5

So head lossh_{l}=(0.5)\frac{{0.687}^2}{2\times 32.18}

                                    =0.00366 ft

So head loss=0.00366 ft

Refrigerant-134a is to be cooled by water in a condenser. The refrigerant enters
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Refrigerant R-134a is to be cooled by waterin a condenser.The refrigerant enters thecondenser with a mass flow rate of 6 kg/minat 1 MPa and 70 C and exits at 35 C. The cool-ing water enters at 300 kPa and 15 C andleaves at 25 C. Neglecting pressure drops,determine a) the required mass flow rate ofthe cooling water, and b) the heat transferrate from the refrigerant to the water.SolutionFirst consider the condenser as the control volume. The process is steady,adiabatic and no work is done. Thus over any time intervalΔt,ΔEΔt=0and thusXin˙E=Xout˙Ewhere˙E=˙m h+12V2+gz650:351 Thermodynamics·Prof. Doyle Knight37
