Answer:

COP of the heat pump is 3.013

OP of the cycle is 1.124

Explanation:

W = Q₂ - Q₁

Given

Q₂ = Q₁ + W

= 15 + 7.45

= 22.45 kw

COP = Q₂ / W = 22.45 / 7.45 = 3.013

Q₂ = 15 x 1.055 = 15.825 kw

therefore,

Q₁ = Q₂ - W

Q₁ = 15.825 - 7.45 = 8.375

∴ COP = Q₁ / W = 8.375 / 7.45 = 1.124

Answer:

3.013
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 = $\frac{Q2}{W}$

from equation 1

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

therefore COP = $\frac{22.45}{7.45}$ = 3.013

B) COP when cycle is reversed

COP = $\frac{Q1}{W}$

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 = $\frac{8.375}{7.45}$ = 1.124

What is the thermal efficiency of this regeneration cycle in terms of enthalpies and fractions of total flow?

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

$\eta =\dfrac{(h_3-h_4)-(h_2-h_1)}{(h_3-h_5)}$

Explanation:

generally regeneration of cycle is used in the case of gas turbine. due to regeneration efficiency of turbine is increased but there is no effect on the on the net work out put of turbine.Actually in regeneration net heta input is decreases that is why total efficiency increase.

Now from T-S diagram

$W_{net}=W_{out}-W_{in}$

$W_{net}=(h_3-h_4)-(h_2-h_1)$

$Q_{in}=h_3-h_5$

Due to generation $(h_5-h_2)$ amount of energy has been saved.

$Q_{generation}=Q_{saved}$

So efficiency of cycle $\eta =\frac{W_{net}}{Q_{in}}$

$\eta =\dfrac{(h_3-h_4)-(h_2-h_1)}{(h_3-h_5)}$

Effectiveness of re-generator

$\varepsilon =\dfrac{(h_5-h_2)}{(h_4-h_2)}$

So the efficiency of regenerative cycle

$\eta =\dfrac{(h_3-h_4)-(h_2-h_1)}{(h_3-h_5)}$

What is thermodynamics system? Briefly explain (i) control mass system (ii) control volume system. Comment briefly on control ma

olga2289 [7]

Explanation:

Thermodynamics system :

Thermodynamics system is a region or space in which study of matters can be done.The system is separated from surroundings by a boundary this boundary maybe flexible or fixed it depends on situations.The out side the system is called surroundings.

Generally thermodynamics systems are of three types

1.Closed system(control mass system)

Only energy transfer take place ,no mass transfer take place.

2.Open system(control volume system)

Both mass as well as energy transfer take place.

3.Isolated system

Neither mass or nor energy transfer take place.

At steady state ,property is did not changes with respect to time.
