(b)
After graduation, you decided to work overseas to experience living in a country with four
seasons. Your neighbour, knowing that you are an engineer asked your help to install a heat
pump system for his house. He wanted to always maintain the temperature in his house at
24°C during winter. In that area during winters, average outside temperature is -3°C. He also
has an underground water well with average water temperature of 10°C during winter.
You estimated that the heat losses from the house under the average outside temperature to
be 75000 kJh. Investigate the most economical mean to power the heat pump (by calculating
the minimum power required) if you can choose to extract heat from either:
i.
The outside air at average temperature of -3°c
ii.
The well water at 10°C
State the reasoning for your calculations.
The Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC)
system in Hawali utilizes the surface water and
deep water as thermal energy reservoirs. Assume
the ocean temperature at the surface to be 20 "C
and at some depth to be 6 "C
Determine the maximum possible thermal efficiency achievable by a heat engine.
Express the thermal efficiency as a percentage to three significant figures.
Thà = 478 %

- Answer question 2 based on the results of question 1. You have a natural gas furnace in your home that used 78,500 cubic feet of natural gas for heating last winter. Your neighbor has a furnace that burns heating oil, and used 516 gallons of heating oil last winter. You can convert the natural gas and heating oil consumption data into Btu to determine which home used more energy for heating. Natural gas BTU: 1,028 Btu per cubic foot Oil BTU: 138,590 Btu per gallon Natural Gas BTU= 80698000 Btu Oil BTU = 71512440 Btu The home that used a natural gas furnace used more energy for heating. 2. You need a new furnace for your home, and you are comparing systems that use natural gas and heating oil. One factor to consider is the cost of fuel. You can compare the price of the fuels on an equal basis by dividing the price per unit of the fuels by the Btu content per unit of the fuels to get a price per million Btu.

- 1.2 A concrete wall in a factory located in Canada has a thickness of 0.1 metres. The wall is exposed to a relatively cold breeze at a temperature of – 3.15°C through a convection heat transfer coefficient of 40 W/m2K. On the other side is calm air at 330 K, with a natural- convection heat transfer coefficient of 10 W/m K.

At this stage you are asked not to include cost factors. The single point design condition they have given you is for an incident solar radiation on the collector of 550 W/m2, a surrounding temperature of 18 C. The dead state for this problem should be taken as To = 291 K, Po = 1 bar. You can perform your analysis at steady state conditions. In addition to determining the power output and first law efficiency of the options, you have been requested to determine the exergy destroyed for each of them. The photovoltaic system has an efficiency of 0.15 defined as the power output/incident solar radiation. The basic photovoltaic collector is 1.1 m2 and losses heat from both the front and back surface. The edge area can be neglected. The convective heat transfer coefficient is 10 W/m2 K.
