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
A heating system that uses hot air has a total heating load of 509 thousand btuh. How much hot air flow in CFM is required to satisfy the total load if the temperature difference is 23?
1) Water vapor with a flow rate of 20000 kg / h enters the condenser of a power plant at a pressure of 20 kPa and a dryness degree of 95 percent. In the condenser, there is heat transfer to the river water flowing through the pipes. The temperature rise of the river water is limited to 10'C to prevent thermal pollution. Since the state of the water at the condenser outlet is saturated liquid at 20 kPa pressure, what should be the flow rate of the cooling water.
An 500-HP engine with a thermal efficiency of 30% is using a remote radiator which absorbs 20% of the heat supplied to the engine. Cooling system with cooling tower is used with a cooling range of 5°C. The temperature rise after passing the remote radiator is 10°C. Air enters the cooling tower at 30°C dry-bulb; 20°C wet-bulb temperatures and leaves the tower at 38°C & 65%RH. Make a schematic diagram of the system, the process in the provided psychrometric chart and calculate the following: (a.) The amount of cooling water for the engine, kg/min; (b.) The water flow rate in the cooling tower in liters per hour; and (c.) If the heat absorbed by air is 5% of heat absorbed by the cooling tower water, what is the air flow needed in cu.m/hour.

An air conditioner with refrigerant-134a as the refrigerant is used to keep a large space at 20°C by rejecting the waste heat to the outside air at 37 °C. The room is gaining heat through the walls and the windows at a rate of 125 kJ/min while the heat generated by the computer, TV, and lights amounts to 0.7 kW. Unknown amount of heat is also generated by the people in the room. The condenser and evaporator pressures are 1200 and 500 kPa, respectively. The refrigerant is saturated liguid at the condenser exit and saturated vapor at the compressor inlet. If the refrigerant enters the compressor at a rate of 65 L/min and the isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 70%, determine (a) the temperature of the refrigerant at the compressor exit, (b) the rate of heat generated by the people in the room, (c) the COP of the air conditioner, and (d) the minimum volume flow rate of the refrigerant at the compressor inlet for the same compressor inlet and exit conditions.
