A completely reversible heat pump produces heat at a rate of 300 kW to warm a house maintained at 24 °C. The exterior air, which

is at 7 °C, serves as the source. Calculate the rate of entropy change of the two reservoirs and determine if this heat pump satisfies the second law according to the increase of entropy principle.

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

The Coefficient of Performance of the reversible heat pump is determined by the Carnot's cycle:

COP_{HP} = \frac{T_{H}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}

COP_{HP} = \frac{297.15\,K}{297.15\,K-280.15\,K}

COP_{HP} = 3.339

The power required to make the heat pump working is:

\dot W = \frac{300\,kW}{3.339}

\dot W = 89.847\,kW

The heat absorbed from the exterior air is:

\dot Q_{L} = 300\,kW - 89.847\,kW

\dot Q_{L} = 210.153\,kW

According to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, the entropy generation rate in a reversible cycle must be zero. The formula for the heat pump is:

\frac{\dot Q_{L}}{T_{L}} - \frac{\dot Q_{H}}{T_{H}} + \dot S_{gen} = 0

\dot S_{gen} = \frac{\dot Q_{H}}{T_{H}} - \frac{\dot Q_{L}}{T_{L}}

\dot S_{gen} = \frac{300\,kW}{297.15\,K}-\frac{210.153\,kW}{280.15\,K}

\dot S_{gen} = 0.259\,\frac{kW}{K}

Which contradicts the reversibility criterion according to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

A batch of 1000 is split into 10 smaller batches of equal size 100. The processing time of each unit is 2
Vika [28.1K]

The lead time of the actual batch will be in

  • 2950 in minutes

<h3>What is Processing Time?</h3>

This refers to the amount of time which is taken for a processor to run a procedure and return a result.

We can see that a batch of 1000 is split so that they each have 10 smaller batches which has an equal size of 100 each, then if the processing time is 2 mins per machine and the set up time is 30 mins.

Hence, when this batch is processed over a serial line of 5 machines, then the lead time of the actual batch would be 2950 in minutes

How many watts are consumed in a circuit having a power factor of 0. 2 if the input is 100 vac at 4 amperes?.
Anna71 [15]

The watts that are consumed is 80 watts.

<h3>What power factor?</h3>

The term power factor has to do with the measure of the efficiency of the use of energy. Recall that power is defined as the rate of doing work. The magnitude of the power factor shows the extent to which the power is used.

Now, to obtain the watts are consumed in a circuit having a power factor of 0. 2 if the input is 100 vac at 4 amperes we have;  V × I × PF = 100V × 4A × 0.2 = 80 watts.
