- 24arrow_forward4) A ground source heat pump heats a building by extracting heat from the ground and pumping it into the building. Define: Qc = heat extracted from the ground, Qn= heat pumped into the building, W = electric energy used by the heat pump, Tc= temperature of the ground, T = temperature of building (Qc, Qn, and W are positive by definition). Assume Tr > Tc. a) Draw a diagram showing energy flow in and out of the heat pump. b) Write a general expression for the change AS in the entropy of the "universe", that is the heat pump plus the cold and hot reservoirs, in terms of the quantities defined above. Now assume ideal (reversible) operation, and take Te= 10 °C and Tp= 20 °C. What is the coefficient of performance (ČOP) of the heat pump? By what factor would this change if we had Tc = 0 °C instead?arrow_forward27) Which of the following must be true for a thermodynamic process that starts and ends at the same state? A: The total heat and work for the cycle must both be zero B: The total work equals the heat C: The value of all state functions must be different at the beginning and the end of the process D: The change in internal energy over the whole cycle must equal 0 E: The temperature of the system will be constant throughout the processarrow_forward

Heat then flows out of the gas at constant volume, and the pressure and temperature are allowed to decrease until the temperature reaches its original value. Calculate a) the total work done by the gas in the processes and b) the total heat flow to the gas.arrow_forwardSKIN temperatures (57 C)the iatent neat or vap moi water ny of watch p=998.2 kg/m'. 3. Assume that the thickness of the tissue between the interior and the exterior of the body is d =3 cm and that the average area through which conduction can occur is A =1.5 m². Find heat transferred by conduction per hour if temperature difference between the inner body and the skin is AT = 2°C. Coefficient of thermal for tissue without blood is K. = 18 × 10-2 Cal /m-hr-ºC.arrow_forward
- If I bring a small object at temperature 200C in thermal contact with a large object at the same temperature, a) thermal energy will flow from the large to the small object because the large object has more internal energy. b) thermal energy will flow from the small to the large object because that will increase entropy. c) thermal energy will not flow.arrow_forwardQ1) There are four main thermodynamic processes that you learned from Unit 3: isobaric, isochoric, isothermal, and adiabatic. For each process below, classify it has one of these processes and then determine the signs of Q (the heat energy that flows into the gas), W (the work done by the gas), and AU (the change in internal energy of the gas). a) A container filled with an ideal gas has been submerged in a large water bath for a long time such that both reach thermal equilibrium. You then slowly compress the gas in the container. Assume the container is not well insulted so heat energy can easily flow back and forth between the water and gas and that the water bath is so large that its temperature does not change very much. b) A container filled with an ideal gas has a well-sealed piston that you put a pin in such that it doesn't move up or down. You then put the container over a burner to heat it up. c) A container filled with an ideal gas has a well-sealed piston that can move up or…arrow_forward
