You have been hired by a "storm chaser" as an assistant. this individual loves to find locations at which tornadoes and violent lightning storms are occurring. while there, he takes photographs and makes electromagnetic measurements. you are on a chase with him to a lightning storm in florida. he explains to you that a cloud layer and the ground can be considered as the plates of a capacitor that stores charge, with the ground being charged negatively. the capacitor continuously leaks charge due to the free charges in the air between the plates. in thunderclouds, however, various processes result in charge distributions that eventually lead to lightning, a phenomenon that delivers negative charge to the ground. therefore, the lightning recharges the capacitor. ahead of you is a cloud layer that the storm chaser measures to be of area 1.65 km2 and height 740 km above the ground. he then uses a special apparatus called a field mill to measure that the electric field under the cloud is 4.00 ✕ 106 n/c. he asks you to do a quick calculation of the charge on the cloud-ground capacitor (in c), so you can know what to expect if there is a bolt of lightning.

4r-134a enters the condenser of a residential heat pump at 800 kpa and 50°c at a rate of 0.022 kg/s and leaves at 750 kpa subcooled by 3°c. the refrigerant enters the compressor at 200 kpa superheated by 4°c determine (a) the isentropic efficiency of the compressor, (b) the rate of heat supplied to the heated room, and (c) the cop of the heat pump. also, determine (d) the cop and rate of heat supplied to the heated room if this heat pump operated on the ideal vapor-compression cycle between the pressure limits of 200 and 800 kpa.
