An electric home stove with 3 burners and microwave is used in preparing a meal asfollows. Burner 1: 20 minutes Burner 2: 40 minutes Burner 3: 15 minutes . Microwave: 30minutes. If each burner is rated at 1.2 kW and the oven at 1.8 kW, and electricity costs 1000(IQ =Iraqi Dinar) per k Wh, calculate the cost of electricity used in preparing the meal?
If a house needs a minimum heat transfer rate of 75 kJ/h (i.e., 75 kJ of heat needs to be transferred into the house during one hour) to maintain a pleasant indoor temperature. If one wants to use a heat pump with a COP of 5.55 to fulfill this heat transfer rate, what is the corresponding electricity (in kWh) consumption to run such a heat pump for one hour?
A Carnot heat pump is used to maintain the temperature inside a building at 20 ∘C. Significantly, the colder it gets outside, the more heat is lost through the walls and windows of the building. Assume that 45 kW of heat are lost for each degree difference between the outside and the inside temperature. That means that the colder it gets, the harder the heat pump will need to work. However, for safety reasons, the controller circuit for the heat pump limits its electrical power consumption to 195 kW. What's the coldest it can get outside before the heat pump can't maintain the building temperature adequately?
A heat pump with a motor of 2 kW is used to keep a chicken hatchery at 30°C. This latter loses energy at a rate of 0.5 kW per degree difference to the colder ambient. The heat pump has a COP that is 50% of a Carnot heat pump. a- Draw a sketch for the entire system showing all energy transfers. b- Illustrate a heat pump operating between two constant-temperature energy reservoirs showing all energy transfers. c- What is the minimum ambient temperature for which the heat pump is sufficient?
1. A geothermal heat pump with a COP of 1.3 provides 48000 BTU/hr of heat to a building. Assuming an electrical power rate of $0.20/kWh. answer the following questions for this system: a. What would be the monthly cost to provide heat at a rate of 48000 BTU/hr if the heat was delivered by a simple electrical resistance heater? b. How much heat is drawn from the ground by the heat pump in that month, in kWh? c. What is the savings per month enjoyed by operating this heat pump for a month vs. a simple electrical resistance heater?
A heat pump is used to extract heat from the outside atmosphere to heat the inside of a building. On a day when the outside air temperature is Tc°C, the heat pump is operating to a COP of 3.7, maintaining the inside temperature of the building at Th°C. If the building is losing heat at the rate of 53,709 kJ/hour in these conditions, determine how much power (kW) must be supplied to a heat pump? Keep two decimal places

A heat pump with a COP of 3.2 is used to heat a perfectly sealed house (no air leaks). The entire mass within the house (air, furniture, etc.) is equivalent to 1200 kg of air. When running, the heat pump consumes electric power at a rate of 5 kW. The temperature of the house was 7°C when the heat pump was turned on. If heat transfer through the envelope of the house (walls, roof, etc.) is negligible, the length of time the heat pump must run to raise the temperature of the entire contents of the house to 22°C is (a) 13.5 min (b) 43.1 min (c) 138 min (d) 18.8 min (e) 808 min
A heat pump used for heating shown is essentially an air conditioner installed backward. It extracts energy from colder air outside and deposits it in a warmer room. Suppose the ratio of the actual energy entering the room to the work done by the device’s motor is 10.0% of the theoretical maximum ratio. Determine the energy entering the room per joule of work done by the motor given that the inside temperature is 20.0°C and the outside temperature is -5.00°C.
