A heat pump is a device that is capable of transferring heat energy from a source of heat to what is known as the heat sink. It also moves thermal energy in the opposite direction of a spontaneous heat transfer through heat absorption from a cold space and releasing it to a warmer space.
When a heat pump is being utilized for heating, it employs the same principle with that of the refrigeration cycle used by an air conditioner or a refrigerator, but in the opposite direction since it releases heat into a conditioned space rather than the surrounding environment. Moreover, heat pump resembles much as refrigeration since it has the same components with the latter except for the presence of a reverse valve.
Explanation:
The height of the rise of liquid with capillary tube is given by the formula as follows :
Where
r is radius
It is clear that the height of the rise of liquid is inversely proportional to the radius of the capillary tube.
If the radius of the capillary tube is doubled, it means the height of rise of liquid with capillary tube become half.
Answer:
Explanation:
Using the efficiency formula;
Efficiency = Work done by the machine (output)/work done on the machine (input) ×100%
Efficiency =w/50 ×100
90 = 100w/50
Cross multiply
90×50 = 100W
4500 = 100W
W = 4500/100
W = 45Joules
Hence the lever does 45Joules of work on its load
2) Mechanical Advantage= Load/Effort
Given
MA = 4
Load = 500N
4 = 500/Effort
Effort = 500/4
Effort =125N
Hence the effort required to lift the load is 125N
Answer:
Weight = 137.2 kg.m/
Explanation:
Given
mass of an object, m = 14 kg
Weight (W) is given by the formula:
W = mg , where m is mass of the object and g is acceleration due to gravity and the value is 9.8 m/
Hence W = 14 kg x 9.8 m/
= 137.2 kg.m/
Answer:
W = 112.58 N-unit
Explanation:
Given:
- Force F = 10 N
- Angle Q of force with x axis: 30 degrees
- distance to be moved d = 13 units along + x axis
Find:
Work Done by the force F:
Solution:
The work by force in positive x direction can only be done if the both the direction of distance traveled and direction of force are parallel vectors. Hence we compute the component of Force F in x direction F_x:
F_x = F*cos(Q)
F_x = 10*cos(30)
F_x = 8.66 N
Hence,
Work Done by force
W = F_x * d
W = 8.66 * 13
W = 112.58 N-unit
