Consider a residential heat pump use to maintain the inside air temperature of the house at 23C. Assuming Carnot assumptions, estimate the minimum power requirements (kW) if the outside temperature is OC and the house requires 1 kW of heating per temperature difference between the indoors and the outdoors temperatures (C).
