2. A heat pump with a COP of 3.8 is used to heat a home (high temperature reservoir) by transferring heat from the ambient air (low temperature reservoir). If the heat transfer occurs to the home at a rate of QH = 7.5 kW, what is the required power input to the heat pump? What is the heat transfer rate from the ambient air to the heat pump (Q)? (Answer: Win between 1 and 3 kW)
