An ideal vapor-compression heat pump cycle using R-134a is used to heat a house. The insidetemperature is 22°C, the outside temperature is 0°C. Saturated vapor at 2.2 bar enters thecompressor, saturated liquid leaves the condenser at 8 bar. The mass flow rate is 0.2 kg/s.
Calculate:
(a) the power input to the compressor, in kW.
(b) the coefficient of performance.

Steel is coated with a thin layer of ceramic to protect against corrosion. what do you expect to happen to the coating when the temperature of the steel is increased significantly? explain.

Awall of 0.5m thickness is to be constructed from a material which has average thermal conductivity of 1.4 w/mk. the wall is to be insulated with a material having an average thermal conductivity of 0.35 w/mk so that heat loss per square meter shall not exceed 1450 w. assume inner wall surface temperature of 1200°c and outer surface temperature of the insulation to be 15°c. calculate the thickness of insulation required.
