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 keeps the house at 20°C while the ambient (outside) temperature is 0°C. from the roof and The heat loss from the walls is 3000 kJ/h per degree temperature difference between the indoor and outdoor environment. Determine the minimum theoretical power in kW required to operate the heat pump.
(c) The structure of a house is such that it loses heat at a rate of 5400 kJ/h per °C difference between the indoors and outdoors. A heat pump that requires a power input of 6 kW is used to maintain this house temperature at 21°C. Examine the lowest outdoor temperature for which the heat pump can meet the heating requirements of this house and sketch a simple schematic diagram for the heat pump complete with the value of energy, its direction, and temperature reading of both indoors and outdoors.
A heat pump can use a maximum of 2 kW power for maintaining a house at 20°C during winter. The rate of heat transfer from the roof and walls is 3000 kJ/h per degree temperature difference between inside and outside. The coefficient of performance is 25% of a reversible heat pump.

A Carnot heat engine is used to drive a heat pump to maintain the heat of a small building. The HE receives heat from at 1600 °F reservoir at a rate of 1800 Btu/min and rejects heat into ambient air at 32°F. From the same ambient air at 32 °F, the heat pump removes heat to maintain the temperature of the building at 70 °F. What is the maximum rate of heat transferred to the house (in Btu/min)? What is the rate of heat removed from ambient air by the heat pump? Final answers must be in Btu/min.

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.
