Name a common device or appliance that you are familiar with that uses a heat pump. Describe its operation in terms of a Carnot engine and estimate its Carnot efficiency. Remember to show your work and explain how you estimated the efficiency.
Name a common device or appliance that you are familiar with that uses a heat pump. Describe its operation in terms of a Carnot engine and estimate its Carnot efficiency. Remember to show your work and explain how you estimated the efficiency. If you could please answer with a WRITTEN response, not just equations and math. I am trying to understand it conceptually rather than mathematically.
A Carnot heat engine uses a hot reservoir consisting of a large amount of boiling water and a cold reservoir consisting of a large tub of ice and water. In 5 minutes of operation of the engine, the heat rejected by the engine melts a mass of ice equal to 5.45×10−2 kg . Throughout this problem use Lf=3.34×105J/kg for the heat of fusion for water. A.) During this time, how much work W is performed by the engine?
A Carnot heat engine uses a hot reservoir consisting of a large amount of boiling water and a cold reservoir consisting of a large tub of ice and water. In 5 minutes of operation of the engine, the heat rejected by the engine melts a mass of ice equal to 4.30×10−2 kg . Throughout this problem use Lf=3.34×105J/kg for the heat of fusion for water. During this time, how much work W is performed by the engine?
The heat pump illustrated beside uses 1.5 kW mechanical power (that's is 1500 J/s) and extracts 1.2 million calories per hour from the outside air. • A) How much heat is pumped into the house every day? • B) If this heat pump is made such that it is ideal and reversible, and you decide to heat your house with a gas furnace and use the heat pump as an heat engine to produce mechanical work, then what would be...
earning Goal: To understand that a heat engine run backward is a heat pump that can be used as a refrigerator. By now you should be familiar with heat engines--devices, theoretical or actual, designed to convert heat into work. You should understand the following: Heat engines must be cyclical; that is, they must return to their original state some time after having absorbed some heat and done some work). Heat engines cannot convert heat into work without generating some waste...
Please show work for A 1-4! 1. Heat engines A heat engine is a device that does work by exchanging thermal energy with its environment. All heat engines operate in cycles during which a system, also known as the working substance, passes through a series of thermodynamic processes returning repeatedly to each state. A. Device 1, shown at right, represents a heat engine operating between 900 K reservoirs at 900 K and 400 K. (The system interacting with the reservoirs...

Need help with part D You decide to use your body as a Carnot heat engine. The operating gas is in a tube with one end in your mouth (where the temperature is 37.0 ∘C) and the other end at the surface of your skin, at 30.0 ∘C. PART A What is the maximum efficiency of such a heat engine? ANS: 2.3% PART B Suppose you want to use this human engine to lift a 2.50 kg box from the...
