A heat pump receives energy from a source at 80∘C and delivers energy to a boiler that operates at 350 kPa. The boiler input is saturated liquid water and the exit is saturated vapor, both at 350 kPa. The heat pump is driven by a 2.5-MW motor and has a COP that is 60% that of a Carnot heat pump. What is the maximum mass-flow rate of water the system can deliver?
