A heat pump is installed in a building to heat the space to a constant 22 ⁰C when the outdoor temperature is 15 ⁰C. The heating requirement at these conditions is 30 kW. The system uses R-410a as a refrigerant and operates according to an ideal vapor compression cycle as shown in the figures below. The saturation temperature of the refrigerant in the indoor coil is typically 20 ⁰C higher than the desired space temperature, and the saturation temperature of the refrigerant in the outdoor unit is typically 20 ⁰C lower than the outdoor temperature. (one of those coils is the condenser, the other is the evaporator) Determine the states at points 1 through 4.
(a) What is the hot reservoir temperature of a Carnot engine that has an efficiency of 42.0% and a cold reservoir temperature of 27.0C? (b) What must the hot reservoir temperature be for a real heat engine that achieves 0.700 of the maximum efficiency, but still has an efficiency of 42.0% (and a cold reservoir at 27.0C)? (c) Does your answer imply practical limits to the efficiency of car gasoline engines?
heat engine operates between the maximum and minimum temperatures of 6710 C and 600 C respectively, with an efficiency of 50% of the appropriate Carnot efficiency. It drives a heat pump which uses river water at 4.40 C to heat a block of flats in which the temperature is to be maintained at 21.10 C. Assuming that a temperature difference of 11.10 C exists between the working fluid and the river water, on the one hand, and the required room temperature on the other, and assuming the heat pump to operate on the reversed Carnot cycle, but with a COP of 50% of the ideal COP, determine the heat input to the engine per unit heat output from the heat pump.
