Question 2. A household with electric resistance heating plans to switch from resistive heating to a ground source heat pump. Annual heat consumption of the house is 30 000 kWh. Investment cost of the heat pump is 21 000 €. Heat pumps COP is 4.0. How much are the annual savings compared to resistive heating after the change of the heating system (in kWh)? Average price of electricity is assumed to be 12 c/kWh. Round off your answer to one decimal digit and enter it without the unit.
Pls. Answer thank you! An air-conditioning system is used to maintain a house at 75°F when the temperature outside is 95°F. The house is gaining the heat through the walls and windows at a rate of 1250 Btu/min, and the heat generation rate within the house from people, lights, and appliances amounts to 350 Btu/min. Determine the minimum power input required for this air-conditioning system.
The heat loss from a chicken coop (chicken house) is K(Tnside - Totside) during the winter, where K is 1.5 kW/K. The chicken coop temperature can vary between 15 °C and 25 °C without harming egg production. A heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 40% of that of a reversible heat pump is used to heat the chicken coop. What are the minimum power requirements if the outside temperature is -5 °C? .
