A heat pump is used to meet the heating requirements of a house and maintain it at 20°C. On a day when the outdoor air temperature drops to -2°C, the house is estimated to lose heat at a rate of 63,000 kJ/h. If the heat pump under these conditions has a COP of 1.8, determine the rate at which heat is absorbed from the cold outdoor air. Select one: a. 28,000 kJ/h b. 58,000 kJ/h c. 38,000 kJ/h d. 48,000 kJ/h NEED ASAP. I WILL UPVOTE

A homeowner is trying to decide whether to heat with a furnace rated at 95% efficiency or by an electrically powered heat pump. She lives in a town where electricity is produced by a coal-fired power plant that claims to operate with 1st law efficiency that is 55% of the Carnot limit. The heat pump's CoP is advertised to be 40% of the Carnot limit. For what range of outside temperatures To would the 2nd law efficiency of the furnace be greater than that of the heat pump? Assume T+ = 400°C, T- = T= 40°C. %3D
Since Lucas is an engineer familiar with thermodynamics. He decided to create his own heat engine at home to avoid paying for electricity. He created a small, makeshift heat engine for trial. The combustion of his fuel. diesel, reaches a temperature of 750°C, while waste heat is disposed to the atmosphere at 50°C. He, then connected a generator and a heat pump to the heat engine to check the amount of power being produced. Assume that the heat pump will be used to warm his room to 25°C, while the outside temperature is at 5°C. Lucas' rooms loses 85,000 kJ/hr of heat. And, 25% of the heat engine's power output goes to the heat pump. How much diesel (in kg) needs to be burned by the heat engine to maintain the temperature in Lucas' room? Assume carnot heat engine and heat pump. If the natural gas has a heating value of 22,000 BTU/lb.
A heat pump absorbs 10 kW of heat from outside environ- ment at 250 K while absorbing 15 kW of work. It deliv- ers the heat to a room that must be kept warm at 300 K. The Coefficient of Performance (COP) of the heat pump is
