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

Discuss two components that are essential to the functioning of the ecosystem.
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The two components are biotic and abiotic components

Explanation:

The two components essential for the functioning of the ecosystem are:

Biotic Components:

These are the organic components like plants, pathogens, animals, human beings and other living components in the ecosystem that affects other living organisms, influences them and helps in shaping the ecosystem.

they require desired amount of nutrition and energy and energy for proper everyday functioning.

They are further classified as Producers, decomposers and consumers out of which producers prepare their own food by photosynthesis where consumers fulfills their requirement from producers and decomposers depend s on both producers and consumers for chemical breakdown into simpler and reusable forms.

Abiotic Components:

These are the inorganic components of the ecosystem like humidity, temperature, etc.

These are the non living components of the ecosystem which includes physical and chemical constituents of the environment which influences the biotic components and the ecosystem's functioning.

The abiotic components influences certain behaviors in living organisms like reproduction, growth, etc.

These components are synthesized by the process of photosynthesis by utilizing sunlight to convert these into organic compounds by primary producers which are further are the consumption of secondary producers thus increasing the organic content.

In the attached position versus time graph what is the magnitude of average velocity for the entire 19 seconds of the motion. An
evablogger [386]

According to the plot, the positions at time <em>t</em> = 0 s and <em>t</em> = 19 s are -1 m and -2 m, respectively. So the average velocity for the 19-s interval is

v_{\rm ave} = \dfrac{-2\,\mathrm m - (-1\,\mathrm m)}{19\,\mathrm s} = -\dfrac1{19}\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\approx \boxed{-0.05\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}
