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

lianna [129]

Answer:

Circuit attached with explanation

Explanation:

Hi Dear,

A circuit is attached for your reference.

When you press "start" PB, the supply reaches the motor starter relay coil "M" that is also in parallel with the "start" PB which allows the motor to remain ON even when you release "start" PB as supply to relay coil is directly from supply "L" through "M".

To stop motor just press "stop" PB and the circuit breaks which de-energize the relay coil and the motor stops.

Hope this finds easy to you.

A tank with some water in it begins to drain. The function v ( t ) = 46 − 3.5 t determines the volume of the water in the tank (

olchik [2.2K]

Answer with Explanation:

Part a)

The volume of water in the tank as a function of time is plotted in the below attached figure.

The vertical intercept of the graph is 46.

Part b)

The vertical intercept represents the volume of water that is initially present in the tank before draining begins.

Part c)

To find the time required to completely drain the tank we calculate the volume of the water in the tank to zero.

$0=46-3.5t\\\\3.5=46\\\\\therefore t=\frac{46}{3.5}=13.143minutes$

Part d)

The horizontal intercept represents the time it takes to empty the tank which as calculated above is 13.143 minutes.

8. Two 40 ft long wires made of differing materials are supported from the ceiling of a testing laboratory. Wire (1) is made of

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Material K has a modulus of elasticity E=3.389× 10¹¹ Pa

Material H has a modulus of elasticity E=1.009 × 10⁹ Pa

Material K has higher value of modulus of elasticity than material H

Material K is stiffer.

Explanation:

Wire 1 material H

Length=L = 40 ft =12.192 m

Diameter= 3/8 in = 0.009525 m

Area= A= πr²,where r=0.009525/2 =0.004763

A=3.142*0.004763² =0.00007126 m²

Force, F= 225 lb= 225*4.45 =1001.25 N

Change in length =Δ L= 0.10 in = 0.00254

To find modulus of elasticity apply'

E=F*L/A*ΔL

E=1001.25*12.192/(0.004763*0.00254)

E= 1009027923.58 Pa

E=1.009 × 10⁹ Pa

For Wire 2 material K

Length=L= 40 ft =12.192 m

Diameter = 3/16 in = 0.1875 in = 0.004763 m

Area= πr² = 3.142 * (0.004763/2)² = 0.00000567154 m²

Force, F= 225 lb= 225*4.45 =1001.25 N

Change in length =Δ L= 0.25 in =0.00635 m

To find modulus of elasticity apply'

E=F*L/A*ΔL

E= (1001.25*12.192)/(0.00000567154 * 0.00635 )

E=338955422575 Pa

E=3.389× 10¹¹ Pa

Material K has a greater modulus of elasticity

The material with higher value of E is stiffer than that with low value of E.The stiffer material is K.
