A completely reversible heat pump produces heat at a rate of 300 kW to warm a house maintained at 248C. The exterior air, which is at 78C, serves as the source. Calculate the rate of entropy change of the two reservoirs and determine if this heat pump satisfies the second law according to the increase of entropy principle.

The heliocentric and the geocentric models of the solar system included these central principles

What quantity do units represent in value

Suppose that a cylindrical tank 6 meters high with a radius of 2 meters is filled to the rim with water. the tank is buried so that the top of the tank is 1 meter below ground level. the space above the tank is not filled with water. calculate how much work needs to be done by a pump to pump the water out of the tank up to ground level. (the water weighs 9,800 newtons per cubic meter.)
