Magnetic Levitation (MagLev) trains “float” on powerful magnetic fields to reduce friction. Aluminum is widely use on MagLev trains. Why is aluminum so widely used and what other materials could possibly be used?

An air compression refrigeration system is to have an air pressure of 100 psia in the brine tank and an allowable air temperature increase of 60°f for standard vapor compression cycle temperatures of 77 f entering the expansion cylinder and 14 f entering the compression cylinder, calculate the coefficient of performance a. 2.5 b 3.3 c. 4.0 d. 5.0
