m W Compressor Determine the coefficient of performance of the air conditioner. Determine the power input required, in hp, and the coefficient of performance for a reversible air conditioner providing the same cooling effect while operating between the same cold and hot temperatures.

Each of the following statements describes a way of coping with temperature variation. Which scenario most likely includes positive heat transfer through convection? That is, in which scenario does Hconvection most likely have a positive (+) sign? Hanimal = +SR + IRin – IRout +/- Hconvection +/- Hconduction - Hevaporation + Hmetabolic Select one: a. A rabbit basking in the sun early in the morning. b. A lizard resting in the shade in a hot desert in the middle of the day. c. A bumblebee vibrating its flight muscles before flight. d. A ground squirrel hibernating in the winter. e. A bird fluffing its feathers on a cold day.
