A heat pump is used to maintain a house at 22°C by extracting heat from the outside air on a day when the outside air temperature is 2°C. The house is estimated to lose heat at a rate of 110,000 kJ/h, and the heat pump consumes 5 kW of electric power when running. Is this heat pump powerful enough to do the job?

Acompressor compresses a gas, a pump compresses a liquid. for a given pressure ratio, why does it take more work to compress a gas in a compressor than a liquid in a pump? a)- for a given pressure ratio the average specific volume for a gas is much higher than the average specific volume for a liquid. b)- there is no difference. the only difference is the amount of heat generated (not work) c)- for a given pressure ratio the average volurge for a gas is much higher than the average volume for a liquid. d)-there is no difference

Consider two concentric spheres forming an enclosure with diameters of 12 cm and 18 cm the spheres are maintained at uniform temperatures ti-50°c and t2 = 250°c and have emissivities .45 and .8, respectively. determine the net rate of radiation heat transfer between the two spheres per unit surface area.

Acountershaft is supported by two tapered roller bearings using indirect mounting. the radial bearing loads are 1120 lb for the left-hand bearing and 2190 lb for the right-hand bearing. the shaft rotates at 400 rpm and is to have an l10 life of 40,000 hours and an application factor of 1.4. assume ka2k 15, and find the required radial rating of each bearing
