Question: 1 ) A heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 4 . 5 receives a work input at a rate of 3 0 0

1) A heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 4.5 receives a work input at a rate of 300\(\mathrm{Btu}/\mathrm{hr}\) while extracting heat from the surroundings at \(40^{\circ}\mathrm{F}\). Find the rate at which heat is extracted from the surroundings (Btu/hr) and provided to a dwelling (Btu/hr) to maintain an interior temperature of \(75^{\circ}\mathrm{F}\). What is the maximum coefficient of performance for the heat pump? How much electricity can be saved if the heat pump operated ideally? (8 pts)
