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
The thermal efficiency of an engine used to drive a refrigerator is 30%. The heat input into the engine for each MJ removed from the cold body by the refrigerator is 666.67 kJ. What is the COP of the refrigerator?
A Carnot heat pump maintains a home at 23 C during the cold season. At an average of -2C outside temperature, the house loses heat at a rate of 60,000 kJ/h. If this heat pump consumes 6 kW of power during operation, calculate (a) how ling the heat pump an on that day; (b) the total heating costs, assuming an average price of P12.67/kWh for electricity.
A heat pump has a coefficient of performance equal to 4.25 and requires a power of 1.61 kW to operate. (a) How much energy does the heat pump add to a home in one hour?

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 2.7, maintaining the inside temperature of the building at Th°C. If the building is losing heat at the rate of 62,893 kJ/hour in these conditions, determine how much power (kW) must be supplied to a heat pump.
A heat pump is used to heat a house during the winter. The house is to be maintained at 20 C at all times. When the ambient temperature outside drops to -10 C, the rate at which heat is lost from the house is estimated to be 25 kW. What is the minimum electrical power required to drive the heat pump?
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 engine receives a heat-transfer at the rate of 2 MW at a high temperature of 750 °C. The engine releases energy to its surrounding at 300 K and work is produced at a rate of 1200 kW. What are 1. The energy released to the ambient surroundings? 2. The efficiency of the engine?
A heat pump uses 100 J of energy as it operates for a given time. Isit possible for the heat pump to deliver more than 100 J of heat tothe inside of the house in this same time? Explain
A heat engine operates between two reservoirs at 800 and 20oC. Onehalf of the work output of the heat engine is used to drive a Carnot heatpump that removes heat from the cold surrounding at 2oC and transfersit to a house maintained at 22oC.If the house is losing heat at a rate of 62,000 kJ/h,Determine:a) The minimum rate of heat supply (kJ/h) to the heat enginerequired to keep the house at 22oC. b) The thermal efficiency of the heat engine, if the rate of heatsupply to the heat engine is 15,000 kJ/h. c) The total amount of entropy change of the surrounding by takinginto account both the heat engine and Carnot heat pump for the casesof i) and ii), respectively. d) The cyclic entropy change of the heat engine for the cases of i) andii), respectively.
A heat engine has a total heat input of 1.3 kJ and a thermal efficiency of 35 percent. How much work will it produce?
