Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Yes it is true that COP of heat pump always greater than 1.But the COP of refrigeration can be greater or less than 1.

We know that

COP of heat pump= 1 + COP of refrigeration

It is clear that COP can not be negative .So from the above expression we can say that COP of heat pump is always greater than one.

A rigid tank having 25 m3 volume initially contains air having a density of 1.25 kg/m3, then more air is supplied to the tank fr

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

$\Delta m = 102.25\,kg$

Explanation:

The mass inside the rigid tank before the high pressure stream enters is:

$m_{o} = \rho_{air}\cdot V_{tank}$

$m_{o} = (1.25\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} )\cdot (25\,m^{3})$

$m_{o} = 31.25\,kg$

The final mass inside the rigid tank is:

$m_{f} = \rho \cdot V_{tank}$

$m_{f} = (5.34\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} )\cdot (25\,m^{3})$

$m_{f}= 133.5\,kg$

The supplied air mass is:

$\Delta m = m_{f}-m_{o}$

$\Delta m = 133.5\,kg-31.25\,kg$

$\Delta m = 102.25\,kg$

To determine the factor of safety for the states of plane stress. We have to first understand the concept of Coulomb-Mohr theory.

Mohr–Coulomb theory is a mathematical model describing the response of brittle materials such as concrete, or rubble piles, to shear stress as well as normal stress.

Please refer to attachment for the step by step solution.

To determine if a product or substance being used is hazardous, consult:__________.

qwelly [4]

Answer:

Option B: An MSDS

Explanation:

A dictionary is used to check up the meaning of general words and not for checking if a substance being used is hazardous. Option A is wrong.

MSDS means "Material Safety Data Sheet" and it contains documents with information that relates to occupational health & safety for checking various substances and products. Thus, option B is correct.

SAE stands for Society of Automotive Engineering and their standards pertain to mainly Automobiles. Thus option C is wrong.

EPA guidelines are mainly for checking facility and environmental health and safety compliance. Thus, option D is wrong.
