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

Describe with an example how corroded structures can lead to environment pollution?

raketka [301]

According to EonCoat, corrosion is the process of decay on a material caused by a chemical reaction with its environment. Corrosion of metal occurs when an exposed surface comes in contact with a gas or liquid, and the process is accelerated by exposure to warm temperature, acids, and salts.” (1)
Although the word ‘corrosion’ is used to describe the decay of metals, all natural and man-made materials are subject to decay, and the level of pollutants in the air can speed up this process.

Carnot heat engine A operates between 20ºC and 520ºC. Carnot heat engine B operates between 20ºC and 820ºC. Which Carnot heat en

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

engine B is more efficient.

Explanation:

We know that Carnot cycle is an ideal cycle for all working heat engine.In Carnot cycle there are four processes in which two are constant temperature processes and others two are isentropic process.

We also kn ow that the efficiency of Carnot cycle given as follows

$\eta =1-\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}$

Here temperature should be in Kelvin.

For engine A

$\eta =1-\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}$

$\eta =1-\dfrac{273+20}{520+273}$

$\eta =0.63$

For engine B

$\eta =1-\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}$

$\eta =1-\dfrac{273+20}{820+273}$

$\eta =0.73$

So from above we can say that engine B is more efficient.

1). Mention any four operations that requires airlines. 2). Explain how airflow is applicable to the above mentioned operations.

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Following are the answer to this question:

Explanation:

Following the four operations in the airlines:

Landside operations:

In Airlines, the airports are divided into areas on the countryside and on the airside, in which landside region is available to the public, although strictly controlled access to the airside zone. Its area covers all areas of the airport across the aircraft, including parts of the buildings which can only be reached by customers and employees.

Airside Operations:

It's also committed to ensuring which air operations military exercises Ballarat airfields are safe and secure. It includes the provision of parking and flight escort services to itinerant and automates. Organizing operational response to incidents, accidents, or emergencies at the airport.

Billing and invoicing Operations:

This requires several steps, each of which must be performed with absolute accuracy to ensure that perhaps the airport operator is adequately paid for supplying passengers with all the services and infrastructure. After this, the receipts want to be produced and sent to customers on the airline.

Information management:

In this, it collects all the data about the customers and employees and it also helps in finding new routes and after collecting the data it processes on them.

It involves many activities in the airline, including dispatch, flight preparation, flight watch, weather information source, activities control, ground-to-air communications, and staff coordination, scheduling, and maintenance planning. Computing and expert programs are constantly being used to handle unpredictable activities.

Prefix version of 6600 volts

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

6.6 kilo volts = 6.6 k volts

Explanation:

A prefix is a word, number or a letter that is added before another word. In physics we have different prefixes for the exponential powers of 10, that are placed before units in place of those powers. Some examples are:

deci (d) ------ 10⁻¹

centi (c) ------ 10⁻²

milli (m) ------ 10⁻³

kilo (k) ------ 10³

mega (M) ----- 10⁶

giga (G) ------ 10⁹

We have:

6600 volts

converting to exponential form:

=> 6.6 x 10³ volts

Thus, we know that the prefix of kilo (k) is used for 10³.

Hence,

=> <u>6.6 kilo volts = 6.6 k volts</u>
