Answer:
The claim is valid.
Explanation:
Let assume that heat pump is reversible. The coefficient of performance for the heat pump is:
The claim is valid as real heat pumps have lower coefficients of performance.
Tech A states that friction brakes lose energy as heat. Tech B states that a brake-by-wire system converts this energy into usef

Answer:
Final mass of Argon= 2.46 kg
Explanation:
Initial mass of Argon gas ( M1 ) = 4 kg
P1 = 450 kPa
T1 = 30°C = 303 K
P2 = 200 kPa
k ( specific heat ratio of Argon ) = 1.667
assuming a reversible adiabatic process
<u>Calculate the value of the M2 </u>
Applying ideal gas equation ( PV = mRT )
P₁V / P₂V = m₁ RT₁ / m₂ RT₂
hence : m2 = P₂T₁ / P₁T₂ * m₁
= (200 * 303 ) / (450 * 219 ) * 4
= 2.46 kg
<em>Note: Calculation for T2 is attached below</em>
