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 .

A thin taut string is fixed at both ends and stretched along the horizontal x-axis with its left end at x = 0. It is vibrating i

Fofino [41]

Answer:

(a) Wavelength is 0.436 m

(b) Length is 0.872 m

(c) 11.518 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

The eqn of the displacement is given by:

$y(x, t) = (1.22 cm)sin[14.4 m^{- 1}x]cos[(166\ rad/s)t]$ (1)

n = 4

Now,

We know the standard eqn is given by:

$y = AsinKxcos\omega t$ (2)

Now, on comparing eqn (1) and (2):

A = 1.22 cm

K = $14.4 m^{- 1}$

$\omega = 166\ rad/s$

where

A = Amplitude

K = Propagation constant

$\omega$ = angular velocity

Now, to calculate the string's wavelength,

(a) $K = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}$

where

K = propagation vector

$\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{K}$

$\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{14.4} = 0.436\ m$

(b) The length of the string is given by:

$l = \frac{n\lambda}{2}$

$l = \frac{4\times 0.436}{2} = 0.872\ m$

(c) Now, we first find the frequency of the wave:

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi}$

$f = \frac{2\pi}{166} = 26.42\ Hz$

Now,

Speed of the wave is given by:

$v = f\lambda$

$v = 26.419\times 0.436 = 11.518\ m/s$

At a given instant the bottom A of the ladder has an acceleration aA = 4 f t/s2 and velocity vA = 6 f t/s, both acting to the le

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Acceleration=24.9ft^2/s^2

Angular acceleration=1.47rads/s

Explanation:

Note before the ladder is inclined at 30° to the horizontal with a length of 16ft

Hence angular velocity = 6/8=0.75rad/s

acceleration Ab=Aa +(Ab/a)+(Ab/a)t

4+0.75^2*16+a*16

0=0.75^2*16cos30°-a*16sin30°---1

Ab=0+0.75^2sin30°+a*16cos30°----2

Solving equation 1

(0.75^2*16cos30/16sin30)=angular acceleration=a=1.47rad/s

Also from equation 2

Ab=0.75^2*16sin30+1.47*16cos30=24.9ft^2/s^2

What is the wavelength in nm of a light whose first order bright band forms a diffraction angle of 30 degrees, and the diffracti

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The wavelength is 3500 nm.

Explanation:

d= $\frac{1}{700 lines per mm} = 0.007mm = 7000 nm$

n= 1

θ= 30°

λ= unknown

Solution:

d sinθ = nλ

λ = $\frac{7000 nm sin 30}{1}$

λ = 3500 nm

The half life of Po-218 is three minutes. How much of a 2.0 gram sample remains after 15 minutes? Suppose you wanted to buy some

Greeley [361]

After 15 minutes :

M = M₀ (1/2)^(t/T)

M = 2 (1/2)^(15/3)

M = 0.0625 gr

In order to get 0.1 gr :

M = M₀ (1/2)^(t/T)

0.1 = M₀ (1/2)^(30/3)

0.1 = Mo / 1024

Mo = 102.4 gr
