Chapter 15 Problem 35

Question

A heat pump is used to keep a house warm at \(22^\circ \mathrm C\). How much work is required of the pump to deliver 3100 J of heat into the house if the outdoor temperature is \((a)~0^\circ \mathrm C\), \((b)~-15^\circ \mathrm C\)? Assume a COP of 3.0. \((c)\) Redo for both temperatures, assuming an ideal (Carnot) coefficient of performance \(\mathrm{COP}=T_\mathrm H/(T_\mathrm H-T_\mathrm L)\).

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 15 problem number 35 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A heat pump is used to keep a house warm at \(22^\circ \mathrm C\). How much work is required of the pump to deliver 3100 J of heat into the house if the outdoor temperature is \((a)~0^\circ \mathrm C\), \((b)~-15^\circ \mathrm C\)? Assume a COP of 3.0. \((c)\) Redo for both temperatures, assuming an ideal (Carnot) coefficient of performance \(\mathrm{COP}=T_\mathrm H/(T_\mathrm H-T_\mathrm L)\).
From the textbook chapter The Laws of Thermodynamics you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
