Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 2PA
You are working on a residential heat pump. The heat pump is connected to a 240-V, 60-Hz power line. The compressor has a current draw of 34 amperes when operating. The compressor has a power factor of 70%. The backup strip heat is rated at 10 kW. You need to know the amount of total current draw that will occur if the strip heat comes on while the compressor is operating.

In a closed cycle gas turbine, there is two stage compressor and two-stage
turbine. All the components are mounted on the same shaft. The pressure
and temperature of air at inlet to the first stage compressor are 1.5 bar
and 20°C respectively. The maximum cycle pressure and temperature are
limited to 750°C and 6 bar. A perfect intercooling and reheating are used
between the compressors and the turbines. A regenerator whose
effectiveness is 0.7 was employed. Assuming the compressors and
turbines efficiencies as 0.82, calculate:
a. Thermal efficiency of the cycle.
b. Mass of working fluid for a power output of 350 kW.
Assume the working fluid is air has Cp = 1.005 kJ/kg K, y = 1.4.
Question 2. Considering this figure. The firing
angle is 45°, the motor current is 10 A, and the supply
