Explanation:
Notice that the condenser section includes both the hot water and space heater and station (3) is specified as being in the Quality region. Assume that 50°C is a reasonable maximum hot water temperature for home usage, thus at a high pressure of 1.6 MPa, the maximum power available for hot water heating will occur when the refrigerant at station (3) reaches the saturated liquid state. (Quick Quiz: justify this statement). Assume also that the refrigerant at station (4) reaches a subcooled liquid temperature of 20°C while heating the air.
Using the conditions shown on the diagram and assuming that station (3) is at the saturated liquid state
a) On the P-h diagram provided below carefully plot the five processes of the heat pump together with the following constant temperature lines: 50°C (hot water), 13°C (ground loop), and -10°C (outside air temperature)
b) Using the R134a property tables determine the enthalpies at all five stations and verify and indicate their values on the P-h diagram.
c) Determine the mass flow rate of the refrigerant R134a. [0.0127 kg/s]
d) Determine the power absorbed by the hot water heater [2.0 kW] and that absorbed by the space heater [0.72 kW].
e) Determine the time taken for 100 liters of water at an initial temperature of 20°C to reach the required hot water temperature of 50°C [105 minutes].
f) Determine the Coefficient of Performance of the hot water heater [COPHW = 4.0] (defined as the heat absorbed by the hot water divided by the work done on the compressor)
g) Determine the Coefficient of Performance of the heat pump [COPHP = 5.4] (defined as the total heat rejected by the refrigerant in the hot water and space heaters divided by the work done on the compressor)
h) What changes would be required of the system parameters if no geothermal water loop was used, and the evaporator was required to absorb its heat from the outside air at -10°C. Discuss the advantages of the geothermal heat pump system over other means of space and water heating
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
A position describes the position of an object relative to the x/y-axis (or the four cardinal directions). A velocity is a vector quantity, defining speed with direction.
So if an object is in a positive position, it means they are in the positive x-axis direction (or wherever on the scale the positive values are stated to be) and if it has a negative velocity, it means said object is moving in the opposite direction of the positive x-axis. It is possible for the object to still be in the positive position as it's moving with a negative velocity
The answer to question one is A.
The answer to question two is A.
The answer to question three is D.
A light year is a distance.
It's the distance that light travels in a year, through vacuum.
The distance is about 5.875 trillion miles.
The nearest star outside our solar system is about 4.2 light years from us.
Sorry to have rambled on for so long.
