Chapter 6, Problem 49P

(choose chapter or problem)

A heat pump is used to maintain a house at a constant temperature of \(23^{\circ} \mathrm{C}). The house is losing heat to the outside air through the walls and the windows at a rate of \(85,000 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{h}\) while the energy generated within the house from people, lights, and appliances amounts to \(4000 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{h}\). For a \(\mathrm{COP}\) of \(3.2\), determine the required power input to the heat pump.
