2. Consider a room that is initially at the outdoor temperature of 20°C. The room contains a 100-W light bulb, a 110-W TV set, a 200-W refrigerator, and a 1000-W iron. Assuming no heat transfer through the walls, determine the rate of increase of the energy content of the room when all of these electric devices are on.

A heat pump is used to maintain a house at T1°C by extracting heat from the outside air on a day when the outside air temperature is T2°C. The house is estimated to lose heat at a rate of Q kJ/h, and the heat pump consumes 5 kW of electric power when running. Is this heat pump powerful enough to dothe job?
A freezer is maintained at 20°F by removing heat from it at a rate of 75 Btu/min. The power input to the freezer is 0.70 hp, and the surrounding air is at 75°F. Determine the second-law efficiency of this freezer.
The “Energy Guide” label of a refrigerator states that the refrigerator will consume $170 worth of electricity per year under normal use if the cost of electricity is $0.125/kWh. If the electricity consumed by the lightbulb is negligible and the refrigerator consumes 400 W when running, determine the fraction of the time the refrigerator will run.

A dealer advertises that he has just received a shipment of electric resistance heaters for residential buildings that have an efficiency of 100 percent. Assuming an indoor temperature of 21°C and outdoor temperature of 10°C, determine the second-law efficiency of these heaters.
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 the heat pump consumes 4.8 kW of power while operating, determine: (a). how long the heat pump ran on that day(b). The total heating costs, assuming an average price of R 2.35/kWh for electricity, and(c). The heating cost for the same day if resistance heating is used instead of a heat pump.
