A heat pump with a COP of 3.15 is used to heat an air-tight house. When running, the heat pump consumes 5 kW of power. If the te

mperature in the house is 7°C when the heat pump is turned on, how long will it take for the heat pump to raise the temperature of the house to 22°C? Assume the entire mass within the house (air, furniture, etc.) is equivalent to 1500 kg of air. The constant volume specific heat of air at room temperature is cv = 0.718 kJ/kg·°C.

Answer: 1026s, 17.1m

Explanation:

Given

COP of heat pump = 3.15

Mass of air, m = 1500kg

Initial temperature, T1 = 7°C

Final temperature, T2 = 22°C

Power of the heat pump, W = 5kW

The amount of heat needed to increase temperature in the house,

Q = mcΔT

Q = 1500 * 0.718 * (22 - 7)

Q = 1077 * 15

Q = 16155

Rate at which heat is supplied to the house is

Q' = COP * W

Q' = 3.15 * 5

Q' = 15.75

Time required to raise the temperature is

Δt = Q/Q'

Δt = 16155 / 15.75

Δt = 1025.7 s

Δt ~ 1026 s

Δt ~ 17.1 min

The length of a football field is closest to<br> (1) 1000 cm (3) 1000 km<br> (2) 1000 dm (4) 1000 mm
Sergeu [11.5K]

For this case, the first thing you should know is that the length of a football field is around 100 meters.

We must then look for a measure close to this value.

We have the following unit conversion:

1 meter = 10 decimeters

Applying the conversion we have:

(1000 dm)*(\frac{1}{10} \frac{m}{dm}) = 100 m

Therefore, the measure closest to a soccer field is:

1000 dm

Answer:

The length of a football field is closest to:

(2) 1000 dm

Which of think following materials is the best is the best choice for an insulating material?
RSB [31]
You are correct, the answer is C. 

Good insulators are materials that do not allow heat, electricity, light or sound pass through easily. Materials like steel and silver (which are metals) are not good insulators because they make good conductors. They easily allow heat, electricity and the like pass through them. 

Thus, the answer is letter C. Rubber.
