A heat pump receives heat from a lake that has an average winter time temperature of 6o C and supplies heat into a house having

an average temperature of 25o C. (a) If the house loses heat to the atmosphere at the rate of 60,000 kJ/h, determine the minimum power supplied to the heat pump (in kW) that can maintain the interior temperature of the house at 25o C. (b) Suppose the heat pump absorbs energy from the ground (10o C) instead of the lake, Calculate the minimum power (in kW) required for the heat pump.

Answer:

Explanation:

60000 kJ / h = 60000 x 1000 / (60 x 60 )

= 16667 J /s

a)

\frac{Q_H}{W} =\frac{T_H}{T_H-T_C}

where Q_H and W are heat supplied and heat given from  outside source .

Here Q_H = 16667 J/s

\frac{T_H}{T_H-T_C}=\frac{298}{298-279}

= 15.684

Q_H = 16667 J/s

16667 / W = 15.684

W= minimum power supplied  = 1062.7 W.

b )

If  T_C=283K

\frac{T_H}{T_H-T_C}=\frac{298}{298-283}

=19.87

\frac{Q_H}{W} = 19.87

W=\frac{Q_H}{19.87}

W=\frac{16667}{19.87}

= 838.8 W .

Acid mine drainage is:
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Acid mine drainage is dissolved toxic materials wash from mines into nearby lakes and streams.

Explanation:

Acid mine drainage is the flow of acidic water with pH typically between 2 and 4, and high concentrations of other dissolved toxic materials from mines into nearby lakes and streams. It mainly occurs during metal sulfide mining, when the metal sulfide ore such as pyrite (FeS2) is exposed to water and oxygen from air to produce soluble iron and sulfuric acid.

Microorganisms, especially acidophile bacteria like Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans grow by pyrite oxidation, i.e., oxidizing the Fe²⁺ in pyrite to Fe³⁺, which again react with pyrite and water to produce sulfuric acid. Then the acidic water flows into nearby water sources and reduces the pH value of water in those sources. As a result, heavy metals such as copper, lead, mercury, etc in other mineral ores also get dissolved into the water. The action of acidophile bacteria also increases the rate and degree of acid-mine drainage process.

The acid mine drainage causes water pollution and adversely affect the aquatic plants and animals. It also results in the contamination of drinking water, corrosion of infrastructures such as bridges, etc.

Which of the following statements describes nucleons?
Yuliya22 [10]
The correct answer is D.

A nucleon<span> is one of either of the two types of subatomic particles (neutrons and protons) which are located in the nucleus of atoms.
</span>

The total number of nucleon in the nucleus of an atom gives you an idea about the mass of that atom. In fact, one may refer mass number as nucleon number.

Simply put, nucleons are the particles that make nucleus of an atom and are held up together inside the nucleus due to nuclear force.

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

kinetic energy required = 1.80 MeV

= 1.8 x 10⁶ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

= 2.88 x 10⁻¹³ J

If v be the velocity of proton

1/2 x mass of proton x v² = 2.88 x 10⁻¹³

= .5 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x v² = 2.88 x 10⁻¹³

v² = 3.45 x 10¹⁴

v = 1.86 x 10⁷ m /s

If V be the potential difference required

V x e = kinetic energy . where e is charge on proton .

V x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 2.88 x 10⁻¹³

V = 1.8 x 10⁶ volt .

. A 13-g goldfinch has a speed of 8.5 m/s. What is its kinetic energy?
lesya692 [45]
PLEASE PRESS THE “Thanks!” BUTTON! :)
13 g —> 0.013 kg
KE = 1/2(m)(v)^2
KE = 1/2(0.013)(8.5)^2
KE = 0.47 J
