An inventor lives near a mountain that in the summertime has a temprature of 40 degrees farenheit at the top. A tubing line could be run in a loop from the base of the mountain to the top. It would be insulated the entire length, except at the top of the mountain and at the base, where appropriate equipment connects to the loop in order to drive a heat engine. The average temprature at the base of the mountain during summer is 100 degrees farenheit 10lbs/s if R-134a flows through the system. At the base of the mountains, ambient air transfers heat to the refrigerant, and takes it from 40 degress farenheit sub-cooled liquid to 100 degree farenheit at 100 psia. Find:1. Computer the maximum theoretical efficiency of any heat engine operated netween the two temprature2. Compute the rate of heat input to the enginge3. Compute the maximum theoretical power output of the engine (hp)

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.
