The heat pump cycle shown in Fig. P6.53 operates at steady state and provides energy by heat transfer at a rate of 15 kW to maintain a dwelling at 22°C when the outside temperature is -22°C. The manufacturer claims that the power input required for this operating condition is 3.2 kW. Applying energy and entropy rate balances evaluate this claim. Write a brief statement detailing why or why not. OH = 15 kW Tinside = 22°C Heat pump cycle W Toutside=-22°C cycle = 3.2 kW me The heat pump cycle shown in Fig. P6.53 operates at steady state and provides energy by heat transfer at a rate of 15 kW to maintain a dwelling at 22°C when the outside temperature is -22°C.
