1. In an analysis, a heat engine based on the Carnot cycle operating between 1000 0C and 300 0C. The heat rejected from this engine to the sink was at a rate of 800 kJ/min. Determine the thermal efficiency (in %) and power output (in kW) of the engin 2.You found out that the power output of your dream car is the same as the sum of each digits of your student number (in kW) with a percentage thermal efficiency the same as the first four digit of your student number divided by 100. The calorific value of the fuel available has a calorific value of 40 000 kJ/kg. Assuming a constant power output from the car, calculate the heat transfer rate (in kW) and the fuel consumption rate (in kg/h)

A heat pump is used to extract heat from the outside atmosphere to heat the inside of a building. On a day when the outside air temperature is Tc°C, the heat pump is operating to a COP of 3.7, maintaining the inside temperature of the building at Th°C. If the building is losing heat at the rate of 53,709 kJ/hour in these conditions, determine how much power (kW) must be supplied to a heat pump? Keep two decimal places
A homeowner is trying to decide whether to heat with a furnace rated at 95% efficiency or by an electrically powered heat pump. She lives in a town where electricity is produced by a coal-fired power plant that claims to operate with 1st law efficiency that is 55% of the Carnot limit. The heat pump's CoP is advertised to be 40% of the Carnot limit. For what range of outside temperatures To would the 2nd law efficiency of the furnace be greater than that of the heat pump? Assume T+ = 400°C, T- = T= 40°C. %3D
A heat pump with a COP of 3.2 is used to heat a perfectly sealed house (no air leaks). The entire mass within the house (air, furniture, etc.) is equivalent to 1200 kg of air. When running, the heat pump consumes electric power at a rate of 5 kW. The temperature of the house was 7°C when the heat pump was turned on. If heat transfer through the envelope of the house (walls, roof, etc.) is negligible, the length of time the heat pump must run to raise the temperature of the entire contents of the house to 22°C is (a) 13.5 min (b) 43.1 min (c) 138 min (d) 18.8 min (e) 808 min

A heat pump supplies heat energy to a house in order to maintain its temperature at 20°C. Over a period of one month, the heat pump operates for 100 hours to transfer energy from outside to inside the house. There are two possible heat reservoirs where the heat pump can operate on.Scenario 1: The heat pump receives heat from the outside air at -5°C.Scenario 2: The heat pump receives heat from a lake having a water temperature of 8°C.Upon comparing the two heat reservoirs, the house would be able to save $17 with the lake rather than the outside air. Assuming that electricity costs $0.12/kW-h.a. What is the maximum COP of the heat pump if the outside air is used?b. What is the maximum COP of the heat pump, if the lake as source is used?c. How much heat is lost by the house?*Round off all answers to four decimal places*

Heat Engine you are an engineering consultant who has been tasked with providing power to a remote village. After some initial evaluation it was determined that a simple four-device heat engine with water as the working fluid is the best option to produce electricity at the location. Natural gas and wood are abundantly available as a fuel source and 400 kW of power is needed. Design a heat engine to meet the stated requirements.
If a house needs a minimum heat transfer rate of 75 kJ/h (i.e., 75 kJ of heat needs to be transferred into the house during one hour) to maintain a pleasant indoor temperature. If one wants to use a heat pump with a COP of 5.55 to fulfill this heat transfer rate, what is the corresponding electricity (in kWh) consumption to run such a heat pump for one hour?
A student buys a 5000 Btu window air conditioner for his apartment bedroom. He monitors it for one hour on a hot day and determines that it operates approximately 60 percent of the time (duty cycle = 60 percent) to keep the room at nearly constant temperature. (a) Showing all your work and using unity conversion ratios, calculate the rate of heat transfer into the bedroom through the walls, windows, etc. in units of Btu/h and in units of kW. (b) If the energy efficiency ratio (EER) of the air conditioner is 9.0 and electricity costs 7.5 cents per kilowatt-hr, calculate how much it costs (in cents) for him to run the air conditioner for one hour.
