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 transfer from well water at 9°C and discharges energy by heat transfer to the building at a rate of 120,000 kJ/h. Over a period of 14 days, an electric meter records that 2000 kW · h of electricity is provided to the heat pump. Determine the following (13 points) : (a) the amount of energy that the heat pump receives over the 14-day period from the well water by heat transfer, in kJ; (b) the heat pump’s coefficient of performance.; EGMN 204 Spring 2020 4 (c) the coefficient of performance of a reversible heat pump cycle operating between hot and cold reservoirs at 15°C and 9°C.

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.
