A heat pump is used to heat a house and maintain it at 24°C. On a winter day when the outdoor air temperature is -5°C (negative value), the house is estimated to lose heat at a rate of 80,000 kJ/h. Determine the minimum power required to operate this heat pump if heat is extracted from (a) the outdoor air at -4 oC and (b) the well water at 12C.

An ideal heat pump is used to maintain the inside temperature of a house at Tin = 20 ∘C when the outside temperature is Tout. Assume that when it is operating, the heat pump does work at a rate of 1700 W . Also assume that the house loses heat via conduction through its walls and other surfaces at a rate given by (650W/∘C)(Tin−Tout). For what outside temperature would the heat pump have to operate at all times in order...

A heat pump operating with R-134a is used to maintain an indoor temperature of 21°C using heat from the bottom of a lake that stays at 2°C. Assume an 80% efficient compressor. If the heat pump supplies 100 kW of energy to the building, calculate the required mass flow rate and COP for the heat pump. Calculate a few data points to plot the effect of a 10°C temperature range at the cold side on required mass flow rate and...

On a cold winter day where the outside temperature is -10o C, a heat pump provides 20 kW to heat a house to 20o C. The heat pump has a COPHP of 4 at the maximum power. The next day a storm brings the outside temperature down to −15o C. If the ratio of COPHP and the reversible COPrev for day 1 and day 2 is the same, COPHP for both days is the same, and that the house loses...

We propose to heat a house in the winter with a heat pump. The house is to be maintained at 20°C at all times. When the ambient temperature outside drops to -10°C, the rate at which heat is lost from the house is estimated to be 25 kW. What is the minimum electrical power (in kW) required to drive the heat pump? Use the correct sign convention to indicate the direction of work. Hint: the minimum power happens with the...
