A geothermal heat pump absorbs 15 KJ/s of heat from the Earth 15 m below a house. This heat pump uses a 7.45 kJ/s compressor.

Oxana [17]

Answer:

COP of heat pump=3.013

COP of cycle=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 =Q2/W

from equation 1

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

therefore COP =22.45/7.45 = 3.013

B) COP when cycle is reversed

COP = 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 =8.375/7.45 = 1.124

A 2-cm-diameter vertical water jet is injected upward by a nozzle at a speed of 15 m/s. Determine the maximum weight of a flat p

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:58.28 N

Explanation:

Given data

$dia. of nozzle \left ( d\right )=2 cm$

$initial velocity\left ( u\right )=15 m/s$

$height\left ( h\right )=2m$

Now velocity of jet at height of 2m

$v^2-u^2=2gh$

$v^2=15^2-2\left ( 9.81\right )\left ( 2\right )$

$v=\sqrt{185.76}=13.62 m/s$

$Now\ forces\ on\ plate\ are\ weight\left ( Downward\right ) and jet\ force\left ( upward\right )$

equating them

W= $\left ( \rho Av\right )v$

W= $10^{3}\times \frac{\pi}{4}\left ( 0.02\right )^2\times 13.62^2$

W=58.28 N

An amplifier which needs a high input resistance and a high output resistance is : Select one: a. A voltage amplifier b. None of

True [87]

Answer:

None of these

Explanation:

There are different types of amplifiers, and each has different characteristics.

Voltage amplifier needs high input and low output resistance.

Current amplifier needs Low Input and High Output resistance.

Trans-conductance amplifier Low Input and High Output resistance.

Trans-Resistance amplifier requires High Input and Low output resistance.

Therefore, the correct answer is "None of these "
