Answer:

Explanation:

How are sustainable design practices used in civil engineering projects? Sustainable designs are made in buildings to reduce heating and cooling costs by using less energy, which in turn helps the environment. Engineering new ways to build infrastructure can help reduce the impact on the environment.

A heat pump cycle is used to maintain the interior of a building at 15°C. At steady state, the heat pump receives energy by heat

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

a) Ql=33120000 kJ

b) COP = 5.6

c) COPreversible= 29.3

Explanation:

a) of the attached figure we have:

HP is heat pump, W is the work supplied, Th is the higher temperature, Tl is the low temperature, Ql is heat supplied and Qh is the heat rejected. The worj is:

W=Qh-Ql

Ql=Qh-W

where W=2000 kWh

Qh=120000 kJ/h

$Q_{l}=14days(\frac{24 h}{1 day})(\frac{120000 kJ}{1 h})-2000 kWh(\frac{3600 s}{1 h})=33120000 kJ$

b) The coefficient of performance is:

$COP=\frac{Q_{h} }{W}=\frac{120000 kJ/h*14(\frac{24 h}{1 day}) }{2000 kWh(\frac{3600 s}{1 h}) } = 5.6$

c) The coefficient of performance of a reversible heat pump is:

$COP_{reversible}=\frac{T_{h} }{T_{h}-T_{l} }$

Th=20+273=293 K

Tl=10+273=283K

Replacing:

$COP_{reversible}=\frac{293}{293-283}=29.3$

Compared to 15 mph on a dry road, about how much longer will it take for

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

8 to 10 times

Explanation:

For dry road

u= 15 mph ( 1 mph = 0.44 m/s)

u= 6.7 m/s

Let take coefficient of friction( μ) of dry road is 0.7

So the de acceleration a = μ g

a= 0.7 x 10 m/s ² ( g=10 m/s ²)

a= 7 m/s ²

We know that

v= u - a t

Final speed ,v=0

0 = 6.7 - 7 x t

t= 0.95 s

For snow road

μ = 0.4

de acceleration a = μ g

a = 0.4 x 10 = 4 m/s ²

u= 30 mph= 13.41 m/s

v= u - a t

Final speed ,v=0

0 = 30 - 4 x t'

t'=7.5 s

t'=7.8 t

We can say that it will take 8 to 10 times more time as compare to dry road for stopping the vehicle.

Consider two different versions of algorithm for finding gcd of two numbers (as given below), Estimate how many times faster it

juin [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Step 1:

a) The formula for compute greatest advisor is

gcd(m,n) = gcd (n,m mod n)

the gcd(31415,14142) by applying Euclid's algorithm is

gcd(31,415,14,142) =gcd(14,142,3,131)

=gcd=(3,131, 1,618)

=gcd(1,618, 1,513)

=gcd(1,513, 105)

=gcd(105, 43)

=gcd(43, 19)

=gcd(19, 5)

=gcd(5, 4)

=gcd(4, 1)

=gcd(1, 0)

STEP 2

b) The number of comparison of given input with the algorithm based on checking consecutive integers and Euclid's algorithm is

The number of division using Euclid's algorithm =10 from part (a)

The consecutive integer checking algorithm:

The number of iterations =14,142 and 1 or 2 division of iteration.

14,142 ∠= number of division∠ = 2*14,142

Euclid's algorithm is faster by at least 14,142/10 =1400 times

At most 2*14,142/10 =2800 times.
