A heat pump is under consideration for heating a research station located on an Antarctica ice shelf. The interior of the station is to be kept at 15C. Determine the maximum theoretical rate of heating provided by the heat pump, in kW per kW of power input, in each of two cases: The role of the cold reservoir is played by
a. The atmosphere at -20C
b. Ocean water at 5C
Using the appropriate tables determine the indicated property for a process in which there is no change in specific entropy between state 1 and state 2.(Text: P6.6)
a. Water, p1=14.7lbfin2,T1=500F,p2=100lbfin2. Find T2 in F.
b. Water, T1=10C,x1=0.75, saturated vapor at state 2. Find p2 in bar.
c. Air as an ideal gas, T1=27C,p1=1.5bar,T2=127C. Find p2 in bar.
d. Air as an ideal gas, T1=100F,p1=3atm,P2=2atm. Find T2 in F.
e. Refrigerant 134a,T1=20C,p1=5bar,p2=1bar. Find v2 in m3kg.
