Despite living in cold arctic water, sea otters don't have much blubber insulation. instead, they have the densest known fur (26,000 to 165,000 hairs/cm2, compared to 200-300 hairs/cm2 for human heads) which holds a lot of air. air is a good insulator because

a. it has a high conductivity coefficient
b. it has a high heat capacity
c. it has a low conductivity coefficient
d. it has a low heat capacity

Refrigerant-134a flows through a carnot heat pump cycle at 0.5 kg/s. it is known that the maximum absolute temperature in the cycle is 1.1 times the minimum absolute temperature, and the net power input to the cycle is 2.5 kw. if the refrigerant changes from a saturated vapor to a saturated liquid during the heat rejection process, determine the maximum magnitude of the enthalpy of vaporization for this process in kj/kg (with 3 significant figures).
