A heating system must maintain the interior of a building at TH = 20 °C when the outside temperature is TC = 2 °C. If the rate o

f heat transfer from the building through its walls and roof is 16.4 kW, determine the electrical power required, in kW, to heat the building using (a) electrical-resistance heating, (b) a heat pump whose coefficient of performance is 3.0, (c) a reversible heat pump operating between hot and cold reservoirs at 20 °C and 2 °C, respectively.

Answer:

a)Q_H=16.4kW

b) w=5.467

c)  w=1.2345

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Interior temperature TH = 20 °C

outside temperature is TC = 2 °C

Rate H=16.4kW

a)

Generally electric resistance heating is the heat transfer from interior building

Therefore

Q_H=R

Q_H=16.4kW

b)

COP =3

Generally the equation for coefficient of performance is mathematically given by

COP=\frac{Q_H}{w}

Therefore

w=\frac{Q_H}{COP}

w=16.4/3

w=5.467

c)

Generally the equation for coefficient of performance is mathematically given by

COP_r=\frac{TH}{TH-TC}

COP_r=\frac{20+273}{(20+273)-(2+273)}

COP_r=16.2

Therefore

w=1.2345

w=20/16.2

w=1.2345

weight of 1000 pounds is suspended from two cables. The allowable stress in the cables is 1500 psi. Find the minimum diameter fo
kari74 [83]

Answer:

The minimum diameter for each cable should be 0.65 inches.

Explanation:

Since, the load is supported by two ropes and the allowable stress in each rope is 1500 psi. Therefore,

(1/2)(Weight/Cross Sectional Area) = Allowable Stress

Here,

Weight = 1000 lb

Cross-sectional area = πr²

where, r = minimum radius for each cable

(1/2)(1000 lb/πr²) = 1500 psi

500 lb/1500π psi = r²

r = √1.061 in²

r = 0.325 in

Now, for diameter:

Diameter = 2(radius) = 2r

Diameter = 2(0.325 in)

<u>Diameter = 0.65 in</u>
