Why Does COP in Heat Pumps Depend on Time?

AI Thread Summary
The Coefficient of Performance (COP) in heat pumps is influenced by time due to factors such as wear and tear, which lead to decreased efficiency as the system ages. Over time, components may degrade, impacting the overall performance of the heat pump. This decline in efficiency is similar to other machines that experience reduced functionality with prolonged use. Understanding this relationship is crucial for maintaining optimal performance in heat pumps. Regular maintenance can help mitigate some of the efficiency losses associated with aging.

Hi experts... I'm new to this forum and want to know that why does COP(Coefficient of Performance) in heat pumps depend on time?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
What do you mean by "depends on time"? Are you asking why a heat pump's COP decreases as it ages?
 
Yes you got it right. Please explain
 
I don't have anything specific to say. It's like for any other machine: wear and tear leads to reduced efficiency.
 
okay thanks
 

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
