absorb solar and fossil energy

b.
circulate and move within a liquid or gas

c.
make contact with the heat source

d.
transmit electromagnetic waves

Which is not a characteristic of a heat pump? a. it is used in air conditioners. b. it uses a refrigerant. c. it requires no work. d. it reverses the normal flow of thermal energy.

At an oceanside nuclear power plant, seawater is used as part of the cooling system. this raises the temperature of the water that is discharged back into the ocean. the amount that the water temperature is raised has a uniform distribution over the interval from 10° to 25° c. what is the standard deviation of the temperature increase?

The temperature at a point (x, y) is t(x, y), measured in degrees celsius. a bug crawls so that its position after t seconds is given by x = 6 + t , y = 8 + 1 3 t, where x and y are measured in centimeters. the temperature function satisfies tx(3, 9) = 5 and ty(3, 9) = 4. how fast is the temperature rising on the bug's path after 3 seconds? (round your answer to two decimal places.)
