Question:
Using the given heat pump in the previous problem, how warm could it make the shelter in the arctic night?
Data from previous problem
Arctic explorers are unsure if they can use a 5-kW motor-driven heat pump to stay warm. It should keep their shelter at 15◦C. The shelter loses energy at a rate of 0.5 kW per degree difference to the colder ambient. The heat pump has a COP that is 50% that of a Carnot heat pump. If the ambient temperature can fall to −25◦C at night, would you recommend this heat pump to the explorers?
