Consider a Carnot-cycle heat pump with R-410a as the working fluid. Heat is rejected from the R410a at 35 oC, during which process the R-410a changes from saturated vapor to saturated liquid. The heat is transferred to the R-410a at 0 oC. The specific volume during the isothermal heat addition process at 0 oC changes from 0.00841 m3 /kg to 0.02994 m3 /kg. a.

A Carnot heat pump moves heat to a warm house at 24°C at a rate of 300kW. The heat is pumped from the outside air at 7°C. What is the power required by the heat pump? What is the rate of change of entropy for each of the thermal reservoirs (the house, and the outside air)? Does this heat pump satisfy the second law of thermodynamics increase of entropy principle?

Consider the reversible Carnot cycle shown in the following figure given below with 1.19 mol of an ideal gas with C V,m =5R/2 as the working substance. The initial isothermal expansion occurs at the hot reservoir temperature of T hot = 890 K from an initial volume of 3.85 L ( V a ) to a volume of 10.5 L ( V b ) . The system then undergoes an adiabatic expansion until the temperature falls to T cold =...

a. Refrigerators make use of the heat cycles, such as the Carnot cycle, but in order to remove heat from the cold source (fridge) and put that energy into the hot source (the enrivonment), another energy source must be added to the system to make this occur. The minimum energy to be supplied follows the equation given below. Find an expression for the coefficient of performance in terms of Th and Tc.                         coefficient of performance (c) = heat...
