The performance of a heat pump degrades (i.e., its COP decreases) as the temperature of the heat source decreases. This makes us

ing heat pumps at locations with severe weather conditions unattractive. Consider a house that is heated and maintained at 26°C by a heat pump during the winter. What is the maximum COP for the heat pump if heat is extracted the out door air at 10 C?

Answer:

COP_max = 18.69

Explanation:

We are given;

Heated space temperature; T_H = 26°C = 273K + 26 = 299K

Temperature at which heat is extracted; T_L = 10°C = 273 + 10 = 283K

Now the Coefficient of performance (COP) of a heat pump will be a maximum when the heat pump operates in a reversible manner. The COP of a reversible heat pump depends on the temperature limits in the cycle only and is determined by the formula;

COP_max = 1/(1 - (T_L/T_H))

Thus,

COP_max = 1/(1 - (283/299))

COP_max = 1/(1 - 0.9465)

COP_max = 1/0.0535 = 18.69

Alinara [238K]
So I’m thinking C because they both have a lot to do with design here is my evidence. Structural engineering is a component of civil engineering which focuses on the design and development of infrastructures such as bridges, skyscrapers, dams. Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment. I may be wrong but hope this helped!

Air at T1 = 32°C, p1 = 1 bar, 50% relative humidity enters an insulated chamber operating at steady state with a mass flow rate
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

4.5kg/min

Explanation:

Given parameters

T_1 = 32^0 C,  m_1 = 3 kg/min, T_2 = 7^0 C ,T_3 = 17^0

if we take  

The mass flow rate of the second stream = m_2(kg/min)

The mass flow rate of mixed exit stream = m_3 (kg/min)

Now from mass conservation

m_3 = m_2 + m_1

m_3 = m_2 + 3 (kg/min)

The temperature of the mixed exit stream given as

T_3m_3 = T_2m_2 +T_1m_1\\\\17 ( 3 + m_2) = 7 \times m_2 + 32 \times 3\\\\51 + 17 m_2 = 7 m_2 + 96\\\\10 m_2 = 96 - 51\\\\m_2 = 4.5 kg/min\\\\\\\\

Therefore the mass flow rate of second stream will be 4.5 kg/min.
