The furnace heating the house in Morgantown can be fueled by coal, natural gas or directly heated by electricity. Please write a 200 words essay explaining if the house heating is associated with global warming and educate Morgantown resident about the possible technologies/best practices capable of minimizing the energy consumption/global warming impact associated with house heating. You must specify if the knowledge you are leaning in heat transfer will help to minimize the global warming impact. This essay must be typed.

Amass of 1.5 kg of air at 120 kpa and 24°c is contained in a gas-tight, frictionless piston-cylinder device. the air is now compressed to a final pressure of 720 kpa. during the process, heat is transferred from the air such that the temperature inside the cylinder remains constant. calculate the boundary work input during this process.

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.

The drive force for diffusion is 7 fick's first law can be used to solve the non-steady state diffusion. a)-true b)-false
