Chapter 1, Problem 1.24P
A heat pump uses a 100,000-gallon swimming pool as a heat sink in the summer. When the heat pump is running at full capacity it is dumping 6 tons of energy into the pool. Assuming no heat loss by conduction or evaporation from the pool, what would be the temperature rise of the pool per day if the heat pump were to run continuously at full capacity 16 hours per day?

Determine the maximum amount of heat that can be supplied to the room if this heat from the radiator is supplied to a heat engine that is driving a heat pump. Assume the heat engine operates between the radiator and the surroundings.
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.

- Pls. Answer thank you! An air-conditioning system is used to maintain a house at 65°F when the temperature outside is 85°F. The house is gaining 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 systemarrow_forwardQuestion 1 A Carnot heat pump is to be used to heat a house and maintain it at 25°C in winter. On a day when the average outdoor temperature remains at about 2°C, the house is estimatedto lose heat at a rate of 55 000 kJ/h.

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?arrow_forward
- An air conditioning unit works by taking heat out of a room. As the refrigerant gas expands in the cooling coils, it absorbs heat from the circulating air in the room. This heat is then released as the refrigerant is compressed by the part of the unit that is directed out of the room. The unit serves like a heat pump for the room. Since a refrigerator works in a similar manner, can it also be used to maintain a cool temperature inside a room? Justify your answer.arrow_forwardWhat is a heat pump and explains its purpose?
