(a) What is the best coefficient of performance for a refrigerator that cools an environment at −30.0ºC and has heat transfer to

another environment at 45.0ºC ? (b) How much work in joules must be done for a heat transfer of 4186 kJ from the cold environment? (c) What is the cost of doing this if the work costs 10.0 cents per 3.60×106J (a kilowatt-hour)?

Answer:

a) 3.242

b) 1291.178 KJ

c) 3.59 cents

Explanation:

a) First all the temperature units should be in Kelvin. -30°C + 273.15 = 243.15K and 45°C + 273.15 = 318.15K. Coefficient of performance for refrigerator is COP = TL/(TH-TL) where TL is Lower Temperature and TH is the Higher Temperature. COP = 243.15/(318.15-243.15) = 3.242

b) COP  = Cooling Effect/Work Input. Cooling Effect (or Desired Output) is 4186 kJ.

So Work Input = Cooling Effect/COP = 4186KJ/3.242= 1291.178 KJ

c) 3.6 MJ (3600kJ) is for 10 cents, using ratio for cost: energy used

\frac{10}{3600 kJ} =\frac{x}{1291.178kJ}

3.59 cents

As the chicken cooks (and if it doesn't directly touch the fire), energy goes through the chemical, radiant, then thermal stages respectively.

The charcoal fire releases chemical energy. The heat of the fire is radiant, and the thermal (heat) of the fire cooks the chicken.

What is linear speed called when something moves in a circle
Dmitry [639]

Answer: Tangential Velocity

The tangential velocity V is defined as the angular velocity \omega by the radius r of circular motion. As shown below:

V=\omega. r

Its name is due to the fact that this linear velocity vector is always tangent to the trajectory and is the distance traveled by a body or object in a circular movement in a period of time.

2 Select the correct answer. Javed suffers from a severe food allergy. Which device should Javed always carry? A. inhaler B. epi
Slav-nsk [51]

The best answer would be:

B. Epi pen

Here is more about it:

An epi pen injects epinephrine into the body to counteract the effects of an allergic reaction. Epinephrine helps narrow blood vessels and open up the airways. This can be used for food allergies, insect bites, and some other allergens. It is very effective and immediately works, but it is short-lived, so seeking medical attention after is still needed.
