Geothermal Energy and heat echan he lab

✓ Identify the independent variables in the laboratory. Make a statement about which independent variable has the greatest effect on the temperature change in the heat exchange model and provide reasoning. Does the data from trials 3 and 4 support your claim? Explain (in one or two sentences) ✓ Explain why only one variable is changed for the setup in Test 2, instead of changing both the length of the tube and the height of the upper cup. Describe what the data shows about the relationships between the variables (flow rate/pipe length) in the plotted data. For a summary paragraph, choose one of the following topics: a. Explain what the data imply about the possible impact of intensive use of geothermal heat pumps on underground soil and water temperatures, as well as how this could affect the overall energy use by heating and cooling systems in a region. b. Greywater (water from showers and dishwashers) maintains a relatively constant temperature of 32.5°C (90°F) as it leaves a building, before entering sewer lines. As a result, graywater thermal capture systems have great potential for energy conservation. Heat exchange units can be integrated into plumbing systems to extract thermal energy from gray water. Identify and discuss the possible advantage of using gray water heat exchange systems in a college dormitory, besides energy conservation, of course.
