A NATO base in northern Norway is warmed with a heat pump that uses 7.0∘C ocean water as the cold reservoir. Heat extracted from the ocean water warms fluid to 80∘C; this warmed fluid is used to heat the building. When the system is working at full capacity, 2000 kW of heat are delivered to the building at the cost of 600 kW of electric energy.
A. What is the actual coefficient of performance of the system?
B. What is the theoretical maximum coefficient of performance of the system?

Q2. A heat pump cycle is operating reversibly between a warm reservoir at 20o C and a cold reservoir at -5o C. A second heat pump cycle is also operating reversibly between a hot reservoir at 30o C and a cold reservoir whose temperature, TC, is unknown. Given that the coefficient of performance of the first heat pump cycle is twice that of the second cycle, determine TC (in o C). Q3. You see a newspaper advertisement from an organization...
