A small house kept at 77 F inside loses 12 Btu/s to the outside ambient at 32
Question:
A small house kept at 77 F inside loses 12 Btu/s to the outside ambient at 32 F.A heat pump is used to help heat the house together with possible electric heat. The heat pump is driven by a 2.5-kW motor, and it has a COP that is one-fourth that of a Carnot heat pump unit. Find the actual COP for the heat pump and the amount of electric heat that must be used (if any) to maintain the house temperature.
