In a certain quasi-equilibrium process, pressure increases from 200 kpa to 350 kpa. the initial gas volume is 0.2 m3 . during the process, pressure varies with volume according to:

The functioning of an electron transport chain is analogous to a) a slinky toy going down a flight of stairs. b) a canoe going over a waterfall. c) a person climbing a flight of stairs one step at a time. d) a person leaping from the top to the bottom of a flight of stairs in one jump.

Describe different biomes. what are some adaptations that organisms (plants or animals) must have to live in each biome?

An internally reversible refrigerator has a modified coefficient of performance accounting for realistic heat transfer processes of where qin is the refrigerator cooling rate, qout is the heat rejection rate, and is the power input. show that copm can be expressed in terms of the reservoir temperatures tc and th, the cold and hot thermal resistances rt,c and rt,h, and qin, as where rtot rt,c rt,h. also, show that the power input may be expressed as 1.39 a household refrigerator operates with cold- and hot-temperature reservoirs of tc 5 c and th 25 c, respectively. when new, the cold and hot side resistances are rc,n 0.05 k/w and rh,n 0.04 k/w, respectively. over time, dust accumulates on the refrigerator’s condenser coil, which is located behind the refrigerator, increasing the hot side resistance to rh,d 0.1 k/w. it is desired to have a refrigerator cooling rate of qin 750 w. using the results of problem 1.38, determine the modified coefficient of performance and the required power input w under (a) clean and (b) dusty coil conditions. internally reversible refrigerator qout qin w high-temperature reservoir low-temperature reservoir th th,i tc,i tc high-temperature side resistance low-temperature side resistance w qin th tc qinrtot tc qinrtot copm tc qinrtot th tc
