    Calculating Cost of 1KWhr Heat from a Reversible Heat Pump

    A perfectly reversible heat pump heats a building at 20deg from the atmosphere at 5deg. If the heat pump is run by an electrical motor whose efficiency is 80%, what is the cost of 1KWhr of heat supplied? (1KWhr of electricity is 6p) I am confused by this qn as I thought the efficiency, e =...

    What Is the Coefficient of Performance of a Carnot Heat Pump?

    This question is killing me because I just can't seem to get it. A heat pump is used to heat a house in winter; the inside radiators are at T_h and the outside heat exchanger is at T_c. If it is a perfect (e.g., Carnot cycle) heat pump, what is K_pump, its coefficient of performance? Give...

    How many cycles until pressure decreases k times?

    Air pump is pumping out a gas from a vessel (vessel's volume is V). After each cycle i it pumps out dV. Gas is ideal. T=Const. After how much cycles pressure P will decrease k times? Here is my work. PV = nRT Initially n=n(0) After each cycle n decreases (1-dV/V) times. So, after x...

    Modifying Hurricanes and Preventing Tornados: The Giant Pump of the Earth

    I figured out how to modify (weaken) a Hurricane and prevent tornados with a pipeline while using the rotational velocity of the Earth. Actually, the Earth is a Giant Pump.Gravity is greater at the poles of the Earth because the Earth is not spinning with as much velocity. This why you would...

    100% efficiency plus hydrosonic pump

    Have any of you heard of the hydrosonic pump? It is an "over unity" device that actually works. It is said to produce about 1/3 more energy in heat than it requires in electricity to produce. It is not a perpetual motion machine because it does not produce enough energy to run itself...

    Permanent Magnet Pump Speed Control

    Hi, I have a submerged magnetic water pump that is pushing too much water at 8500L/hr. I know that the propeller rpm depends on the frequency of the AC supply but how can I build a simple circuit to reduce the frequency? Thanks :smile:

    Looking for a super high-efficiency air pump

    I am looking for a manufacturer who will be able to custom design an unusually efficient air pump. The most efficient ones on the market right now (or at least the ones I have come across) require about 60 Joules to move just one liter of air. I need something that can do the same amount of...
