We propose to heat a house in the winter with a heat pump. the house is to be maintained at 20 c at all times. when the ambient temperature outside drops to -10 c, the rate at which heat lost from the house is estimated to be 25 kw. what is the minimum electrical power required to drive the heat pump?

The y form of iron is known as: a) ferrite b) cementite c) perlite d) austenite

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.

Fluids at rest possess no flow energy. a)- true b)- false
