A heat pump cycle operating at steady state receives energy by heat transfer from well water at 10oC and discharges energy by heat transfer to a building at the rate of 1.4x105 kJ/h. Over a period of 14 days, an electric meter records that 1620 kW·h of electricity is provided to the heat pump. These are the only energy transfers involved. Determine the total amount of energy transfer by work into the heat pump over the 14-day period, in GJ. Determine the amount of energy that the heat pump receives by heat transfer from the well water over the 14-day period, in GJ. Determine the heat pump’s coefficient of performance.

Ashielded metal arc-welding operation is accomplished in a work cell by a fitter and a welder. the fitter takes 5.5 min to load components into the welding fixture at the beginning of the work cycle, and 1.5 min to unload the completed weldment at the end of the cycle. the total ength of the weld seams 1200 mm, and the travel speed used by the welder averages 300 mm/min. every 600 mm of seam length, the welding stick must be changed, which takes 0.8 min. while the fitter is working, the welder is idle (resting): and while the welder is working the fitter is idle. (a) determine the average arc-on time as a fraction of the work cycle time. (b) how much improvement in arc-on time would result if the welder used flux-cored arc welding (manually operated), given that the spool of weld wire must be changed every 10 weldments, and it takes the welder 5.0 min to accomplish the change? (c) what are the production rates for these two cases (weldments completed per hour)? attach your work and solutions.
