Yeji just came back from dance practice and went straight to her bedroom. It was summer so the temperature in her bedroom was estimated to be around 40°C. She then turned her air conditioner on, closed her door and windows, and it cooled her bedroom to 18°C in 20 minutes. Calculate, a. How much heat was transferred to cool her bedroom to 18°C? b. What is the power consumption of the air conditioner, in kW? The air conditioner has a COP of 2.8. Assume the mass of her entire bedroom to be 750 kg of air, Cv = 0.72 kJ/kg.°C and Cp = 1.0 kJ/kg.°C. *Round off all answers to four decimal places*

Physics Jennifer is a Mechanical Engineer, and is hired to design a massive 450 MW power plant for the city of Dubai. Jennifer decides that the optimal efficiency would be obtained if the pressure of saturated vapor entering the turbine should be 10 MPa, and the pressure of saturated liquid exiting the condenser to be 0.005 MPa. Dubai is in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where the water from the Persian Gulf is 40 °C and UAE environmental laws limit the exiting cooling water to a maximum temperature of 45 °C (in order to prevent damage to the local fishing industry). For Jennifer’s power plant, calculate: heat input form the boiler (in Mega Watts) thermal efficiency mass flow rate of cooling water (in kg/s)
