A building has to be maintained at 18°C at all times. A heat pump is required for this when the temperature outside the building drops to -6°C, thu building losses heat at the rate of 120000 kJ/kg. What is the least power required to drive the heat pump?A. 2.75 kWB. 3.89 kWC. 5.42 kWD. 4.45 kW
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 refrigeration system uses a water-cooled condenser for rejecting the waste heat. The system absorbs heat from a space at 25°F at a rate of 21,000 Btu/h. Water enters the condenser at 65°F at a rate of 1.45 lbm/s. The COP of the system is estimated to be 1.9. Determine the power input to the system in kW.

A garage is being retrofitted with a heat pump of COP=3. The garage heat losses are 10,000 BTU/h. How much would it cost to heat for one month (30 days) if electricity costs $0.14/kWh? How much will it cost to heat with an electrical baseboard (assume 100% efficiency)? Ans: heat pump - around $100 (exactly $98.5); electrical baseboard - $295.40
The coefficient of performance of a residential heat pump is 1.6. Calculate the heating effect in kJ/s this heat pump will produce when it consumes 2 kW of electrical power.
Question 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 the heat pump consumes 4.8 kW of power while operating, determine:The COP, heat loss for the day, required work input, how long the heat pump ran on that dayThe total heating costs, assuming an average price of R 2.35/kWh for electricity, andThe heating cost for the same day if resistance heating is used instead of a heat pump
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 t also be used to maintain a cool temperature inside a room? Justify your answer.
