Most of the energy of train systems is used in starting and stopping. The design of the rotating train platform saves energy, because passengers can board or leave a train while the train is still moving. Study the sketch and convince yourself that this is true. The small circular platform in the middle is stationary, and is connected to a stationary stairway. a. If there is to be no relative motion between the train and the edge of the platform, how fast must the train move compared to the rim speed of the rotating platform?
b. Why is the stairway located at the center of the platform?

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.
