Answer:

a) 8kW

b) $128

Explanation:

Given the coefficient of performance of the heat pump cycle to be 2.5

Energy delivered by the heat pump = 20kW

a) net power required to operate the heat pump = Energy delivered / coefficient of performance

Net power required = 20/2.5

= 8kW

b) Given the cost of electricity is $0.08 for 1kWhour

Since net power required to operate heat pump = 8kW

If the heat pump operate for 200hours, total power required for a month = 8kW×200hours = 1600kWhour

since 1kWh of electricity costs $0.08, cost of electricity used in a month when the pump operates for 200hour will be 1600kWh×$0.08 which is equivalent to $128

Answer:

common fate

Explanation:

The gestalt effect may be defined as the ability of our brain to generate the whole forms from the groupings of lines, points, curves and shapes. Gestalt theory lays emphasis on the fact that whole of anything is much greater than the parts.

Some of the principles of Gestalt theory are proximity, similarity, closure, symmetry & order, figure or ground and common fate.

Common fate : According to this principle, people will tend to group things together which are pointed towards or moving in a same direction. It is the perception of the people that objects moving together belongs together.

Find the largest number. The process of finding the maximum value (i.e., the largest of a group of values) is used frequently in

salantis [7]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Required

- Pseudocode to determine the largest of 10 numbers

- C# program to determine the largest of 10 numbers

The pseudocode and program makes use of a 1 dimensional array to accept input for the 10 numbers;

The largest of the 10 numbers is then saved in variable Largest and printed afterwards.

Pseudocode (Number lines are used for indentation to illustrate the program flow)

1. Start:

2. Declare Number as 1 dimensional array of 10 integers

3. Initialize: counter = 0

4. Do:

4.1 Display “Enter Number ”+(counter + 1)

4.2 Accept input for Number[counter]

4.3 While counter < 10

5. Initialize: Largest = Number[0]

6. Loop: i = 0 to 10

6.1 if Largest < Number[i] Then

6.2 Largest = Number[i]

6.3 End Loop:

7. Display “The largest input is “+Largest

8. Stop

C# Program (Console)

Comments are used for explanatory purpose

using System;

namespace ConsoleApplication1

{

class Program

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

int[] Number = new int[10]; // Declare array of 10 elements

//Accept Input

int counter = 0;

while(counter<10)

{

Console.WriteLine("Enter Number " + (counter + 1)+": ");

string var = Console.ReadLine();

Number[counter] = Convert.ToInt32(var);

counter++;

}

//Initialize largest to first element of the array

int Largest = Number[0];

//Determine Largest

for(int i=0;i<10;i++)

{

if(Largest < Number[i])

{

Largest = Number[i];

}

//Print Largest

Console.WriteLine("The largest input is "+ Largest);

Console.ReadLine();

}

Consider insulation on a circular pipe For the same thickness and type of insulation, the thermal resistance of the insulation i

leonid [27]

Answer:

b). The same for all pipes independent of the diameter

Explanation:

We know,

$R_{conduction}=\frac{ln(\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}})}{2\pi LK}$

$R_{convection}=\frac{1}{h(2\pi r_{2}L)}$

From the above formulas we can conclude that the thermal resistance of a substance mainly depends upon heat transfer coefficient,whereas radius has negligible effects on heat transfer coefficient.

We also know,

Factors on which thermal resistance of insulation depends are :

1. Thickness of the insulation

2. Thermal conductivity of the insulating material.

Therefore from above observation we can conclude that the thermal resistance of the insulation is same for all pipes independent of diameter.
