Question: 5 ( a ) _ # 3 : A heat pump must supply ( 5 0 , 0 0 0 mathrm {

5(a)_\#3: A heat pump must supply \(50,000\mathrm{Btu}/\mathrm{h}\) on a \(30^{\circ}\mathrm{F}\) day to maintain the temperature of a house at \(72{}^{\circ}\mathrm{F}\).
a) Determine the maximum coefficient of performance for this heat pump.
b) What is the minimum power input, hp, for this heat pump? (1.55 hp )
c) If the electricity cost is 8.5 center per kWh , calculate the minimum cost to run this heat pump for one week. (\(\$ 16.52/\) month)
d) Assuming that the power input that is available is in 1 hp increments, determine actual COP and the corresponding increase in cost for one week for the closest available size. (28.9\%)
