Chapter 5, Problem 5.64P

A house is cooled by a heat pump driven by an electric motor using the inside as the low−temperature reservoir. The house grains energy in direct proportion to the temperature difference as Q ˙ g a i n = K ( T H T L ) . Determine the minimum electric power to drive the heat pump as a function of the two temperatures

3.16 The store advertisement claims that a new light bulb type consumes only 9 W to generate the same visible light as an old 40-W light bulb. The advertised saving in electric power consumption is 31 W. The objec- tive of this problem is to question this advertisement. Assume that the light bulb is on inside a building of temperature Tg = 20°C, while the 35°C. A heat pump removes the heat atmospheric temperature is TA current generated by the light bulb (Q) and rejects it to the ambient. The heat pump power required to do this is WHp. The Q/WHP ratio of the heat pump is one-fifth of what it would be in the limit of reversible operation. (a) Determine the Q/WHp ratio in the reversible limit and in the actual heat pump design. (b) Calculate the heat pump power WHp required to evacuate Q from the old light bulb and the new light bulb. (c) Calculate and compare the total power dissipated because of the old light bulb and the new light bulb. The total power of one light bulb is the sum of…
An electric storage battery which can exchange heat only with a constant temperature atmosphere goes through a complete cycle of two processes. In process 1-2, 2.8 kWh of electrical work flow into the battery while 732 kJ of heat flow out to the atmosphere. During process 2-1, 2.4 kWh of work flow out of the battery. (a) Find the heat transfer in process 2-1. (b) If the process 1-2 has occurred as above, does the first law or the second law limit the maximum possible work of process 2-1? What is the maximum possible work? (c) If the maximum possible work were obtained in process 2-1, what will be the heat transfer in the process?
2. I just need the graph of this. A certain ideal gas (unknown) inside a close piston-cylinder assembly undergoes a set of processes that composed of Isothermal expansion from State point 1 to state point 2, Isometric heat rejection from state point 2 to state point 3, and Isentropic compression from state point 3 back to the initial condition. If the maximum pressure is 3000kPa and maximum and minimum volume is 200cm3 and 50cm3
