Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.24P
A heat pump uses a 100,000-gallon swimming pool as a heat sink in the summer. When the heat pump is running at full capacity it is dumping 6 tons of energy into the pool. Assuming no heat loss by conduction or evaporation from the pool, what would be the temperature rise of the pool per day if the heat pump were to run continuously at full capacity 16 hours per day?

A 600-MW steam power plant, which is cooled by a
nearby river, has a thermal efficiency of 40 percent. Deter-
mine the rate of heat transfer to the river water. Will the actual
heat transfer rate be higher or lower than this value? Why?
It is common knowledge that the temperature rises as it is compressed. An inventor thought about using this high temperature air to heat buildings. He used a compressor driven by an electric motor. The inventor claims that the compressed hot air system is 25% more efficient than a resistance heating system that provides an equivalent amount of heating. Is this claim valid, or is this just another perpetual motion machine?
Two constant-volume tanks, each filled with 30 kg of air, have temperatures of 900 K and 300 K. A heat engine placed between the two tanks extracts heat from the high-temperature tank, produces work, and rejects heat to the low-temperature tank. Determine the maximum work that can be produced by the heat engine and the final temperatures of the tanks. Assume constant specific heats at room temperature.
