g Warm water in a geothermal heating system enters the pipe of a radiator at 20 psia and 119oF with a flow rate of 235 cfm (ft3/

min). The diameter of the pipe decreases from 3.2" to 2.3" inside the radiator, and heat is transferred from the water to the room at a rate of 1,100 BTU/s. Determine the temperature of the water when it leaves the radiator. Assume any changes in density of the water are negligible.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Notice that the condenser section includes both the hot water and space heater and station (3) is specified as being in the Quality region. Assume that 50°C is a reasonable maximum hot water temperature for home usage, thus at a high pressure of 1.6 MPa, the maximum power available for hot water heating will occur when the refrigerant at station (3) reaches the saturated liquid state. (Quick Quiz: justify this statement). Assume also that the refrigerant at station (4) reaches a subcooled liquid temperature of 20°C while heating the air.

Using the conditions shown on the diagram and assuming that station (3) is at the saturated liquid state

a) On the P-h diagram provided below carefully plot the five processes of the heat pump together with the following constant temperature lines: 50°C (hot water), 13°C (ground loop), and -10°C (outside air temperature)

b) Using the R134a property tables determine the enthalpies at all five stations and verify and indicate their values on the P-h diagram.

c) Determine the mass flow rate of the refrigerant R134a. [0.0127 kg/s]

d) Determine the power absorbed by the hot water heater [2.0 kW] and that absorbed by the space heater [0.72 kW].

e) Determine the time taken for 100 liters of water at an initial temperature of 20°C to reach the required hot water temperature of 50°C [105 minutes].

f) Determine the Coefficient of Performance of the hot water heater [COPHW = 4.0] (defined as the heat absorbed by the hot water divided by the work done on the compressor)

g) Determine the Coefficient of Performance of the heat pump [COPHP = 5.4] (defined as the total heat rejected by the refrigerant in the hot water and space heaters divided by the work done on the compressor)

h) What changes would be required of the system parameters if no geothermal water loop was used, and the evaporator was required to absorb its heat from the outside air at -10°C. Discuss the advantages of the geothermal heat pump system over other means of space and water heating

A student claims that any object in motion must experience a force that keeps it in motion. Do you agree or disagree? Explain yo
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

I disagree

Explanation:

I think the students claim is wrong because according to Newton's First Law an object that is in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Which makes the students claim wrong because a object doesn't require another force to keep it moving.
