Step 1
Determine the heat loss of the space: The first step is to calculate the heat loss of the space that needs to be heated. This can be done by considering factors such as the size of the space, insulation levels, and outdoor temperature conditions. Show more…

A heat pump delivers 35 kW to heat a house. The outside temperature is -8 degrees Celsius and the inside temperature of the hot air supply of the heating fan is 40 degrees Celsius. A) What is the coefficient of performance of this Carnot heat pump? Note, the heat pump is like a refrigerator with the output of the hot reservoir serving as the source of heat. B) What must be the minimum power of the engine needed to run the heat pump? C) If the efficiency is 54.0%, what must be the minimum power of the pump?

We propose to heat a house in the winter with a heat pump. The house is to be maintained at 68 $\mathrm{F}$ at all times. When the ambient temperature outside drops to $15 \mathrm{F}$, the rate at which heat is lost from the house is estimated to be 80000 Btu/h. What is the minimum electrical power required to drive the heat pump?
A large heat pump should upgrade 4 MW of heat at $65^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to be delivered as heat at $145^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. What is the minimum amount of work (power) input that will drive this?
