Market research is a good place to start the design process and usually involves asking questions about consumers.

A heat pump cycle whose coefficient of performance is 2.5 delivers energy by heat transfer to a dwelling at a rate of 20kW.

12345 [234]

Answer:

a) 8kW

b) $128

Explanation:

Given the coefficient of performance of the heat pump cycle to be 2.5

Energy delivered by the heat pump = 20kW

a) net power required to operate the heat pump = Energy delivered / coefficient of performance

Net power required = 20/2.5

= 8kW

b) Given the cost of electricity is $0.08 for 1kWhour

Since net power required to operate heat pump = 8kW

If the heat pump operate for 200hours, total power required for a month = 8kW×200hours = 1600kWhour

since 1kWh of electricity costs $0.08, cost of electricity used in a month when the pump operates for 200hour will be 1600kWh×$0.08 which is equivalent to $128

Consider the string length equal to 7. This string is distorted by a function f (x) = 2 sin(2x) - 10sin(10x). What is the wave f

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

hello your question has a missing part below is the missing part

Consider the string length equal to $\pi$

answer : 2cos(2t) sin(2x) - 10cos(10t)sin(10x)

Explanation:

Given string length = $\pi$

distorted function f(x) = 2sin(2x) - 10sin(10x)

Determine the wave formed in the string

attached below is a detailed solution of the problem

The temperature at the bottom of a reservoir is TL = 280 K and the surface temperature is TH = 295 K. This temperature differenc

Tanzania [10]

a) For the thermal efficiency we have

$\eta_{th} = \frac{Q_{out}}{Q_{in}} = \frac{|W|}{|Q_h|}\\\eta_{th} = \frac{|W|}{|W|+|Q_2|}$

With the previously values we know that

$W=8kW$ and $Q_L = 1440/6kW$ (convert the min to sec)

Replacing the values

$\eta_{th}=\frac{8}{8+1440/6}=\frac{1}{31}\\\eta_{th}\% = 3.225\%$

b) We use the formula of carnot efficiency

$\eta_{th}=1-\frac{T_l}{T_h}\\\eta_{th}\% =(1-\frac{280}{295})*100\\\eta_{th}\%=5.085\%$

**Note that apply the formula of carnot cycle we need to consider that there is no exchange of heat, there is no friction and the reservior are completely insulated
