Determine the COP of a heat pump that supplies energy to a house at a rate of 8200 kJ/h for each kW of electric power it draws. Also, determine the rate of energy absorption from the outdoor air.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]COP_{HP} = 2.278[/tex], [tex]\dot Q_{L} = 1.278\,kW[/tex]

Explanation:

The heat supply is:

[tex]Q_{H} = (8200\,\frac{kJ}{h})\cdot (\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )[/tex]

[tex]Q_{H} = 2.278\,kW[/tex]

The Coefficient of Performance of a Heat Pump is:

[tex]COP_{HP} = \frac{\dot Q_{H}}{\dot W}[/tex]

[tex]COP_{HP} = \frac{2.278\,kW}{1\,kW}[/tex]

[tex]COP_{HP} = 2.278[/tex]

The rate of heat absorption from the outdoor air is:

[tex]\dot Q_{L} = \dot Q_{H} - \dot W[/tex]

[tex]\dot Q_{L} = 2.278\,kW-1\,kW[/tex]

[tex]\dot Q_{L} = 1.278\,kW[/tex]
