5.A heat pump heats a house in the winter and then reverses to cool it in summer. The interior temperature should be 20-C in the winter and 25-C in the summer. Heat transfer through the walls and ceilings is estimated to be 2400 kJ per hour per degree temperature difference between the inside and outside. a. If the outside winter temperature is 0-C, what is the minimum power required to drive the heat pump? b. For the same power as in part (a),what is the maximum outside summer temperature for which the house can be maintained at 25-C?

5.A heat pump heats a house in the winter and then reverses to cool it in summer. The
interior temperature should be 20-C in the winter and 25-C in the summer. Heat transfer
through the walls and ceilings is estimated to be 2400 kJ per hour per degree
temperature difference between the inside and outside.
a. If the outside winter temperature is 0 C, what is the minimum power required to drive
the heat pump?
b. For the same power as in part (a).what is the maximum outside summer temperature
for which the house can be maintained at 25-C?
