The elevation might be higher causing more rain

Answer:

It's because the moisture in the air condenses much quicker at a higher elevation. When the air condenses, rain clouds are formed. The side the air comes from is called the windward side, which is where there is more rainfall.

A heat pump operates on a Carnot heat pump cycle with a COP of 12.5. It keeps a space at 24°C by consuming 2.15 kW of power. Det

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

a) $T_{L} = 273.378\,K\,(0.228\,^{\textdegree}C)$ , b) $\dot Q_{H} = 26.875\,kW$

Explanation:

a) The Coefficient of Performance of the Carnot Heat Pump is:

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

After some algebraic handling, the temperature of the cold reservoir is determined:

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

$T_{L} = T_{H}\cdot \left(1-\frac{1}{COP_{HP}} \right)$

$T_{L} = (297.15\,K)\cdot \left(1-\frac{1}{12.5}\right)$

$T_{L} = 273.378\,K\,(0.228\,^{\textdegree}C)$

b) The heating load provided by the heat pump is:

$\dot Q_{H} = COP_{HP}\cdot \dot W$

$\dot Q_{H} = (12.5)\cdot (2.15\,kW)$

$\dot Q_{H} = 26.875\,kW$

An aluminum alloy tube with an outside diameter of 3.50 in. and a wall thickness of 0.30 in. is used as a 14 ft long column. Ass

slega [8]

Answer:

slenderness ratio = 147.8

buckling load = 13.62 kips

Explanation:

Given data:

outside diameter is 3.50 inc

wall thickness 0.30 inc

length of column is 14 ft

E = 10,000 ksi

moment of inertia $= \frac{\pi}{64 (D_O^2 -D_i^2)}$

$I = \frac{\pi}{64}(3.5^2 -2.9^2) = 3.894 in^4$

Area $= \frac{\pi}{4} (3.5^2 -2.9^2) = 3.015 in^2$

$radius = \sqrt{\frac{I}{A}}$

$r = \sqrt{\frac{3.894}{3.015}$

r = 1.136 in

slenderness ratio $= \frac{L}{r}$

$= \frac{14 *12}{1.136} = 147.8$

buckling load $= P_cr = \frac{\pi^2 EI}}{l^2}$

$P_{cr} = \frac{\pi^2 *10,000*3.844}{( 14\times 12)^2}$

$P_{cr} = 13.62 kips$
