A vapor-compression heat pump with a heating capacity of 500 kJ/min is driven by a power cycle with a thermal efficiency of 20%. For the heat pump, Refrigerant 134a is compressed from saturated vapor at -10°C to the condenser pressure of 10 bar. The isentropic compressor efficiency is 80%. Liquid enters the expansion valve at 9.6 bar, 34°C. For the power cycle, 80% of the heat rejected is transferred to the heated space. (a) Determine the power input to the heat pump compressor, in kW (b) Evaluate the ratio of the total rate that heat is delivered to the heated space to the rate of heat input to the power cycle. Round answers to 3 significant digits.

the East with respect to the bottom of the sea. The boat moves 15
knots with a direction of 60 degrees north of East with respect to
the seawater.
a) What is the velocity, magnitude and direction, of the boat with
respect to the bottom of the sea.
b) To navigate in a determined time interval and to a given destiny the boat requires a speed of 22 knots in a direction of 45 degrees west of North with respect to the bottom of the sea. What is it's velocity with respect to the water?

Consider a Rankine cycle with an ideal intermediate steam pickup, one of which is open and the other is closed feed water heaters. The steam enters the turbine at 12.5 MPa pressure and 550 degrees Celsius temperature and expands to 10 kPa condenser pressure. The steam separated from the turbine at 0.8 MPa pressure is sent to the closed feed water heater and the steam separated at 0.3 MPa pressure is sent to the open feed water heater. The feed water is heated to the condensing temperature of the steam leaving the turbine in the closed heater. The steam comes out of the closed heater as a saturated liquid, then the pressure is lowered into a valve and sent to the open feed water heater. Show the cycle in a T-s diagram with saturated liquid and saturated vapor curves.
a)
Water flow that must pass through the boiler for the production of 250 MW net power,
b)
Calculate the thermal efficiency of the cycle.
