A heat pump has a coefficient of performance of 3.1 in heating mode. If it requires 130 J of work per cycle, how much heat per cycle does it put into the hot reservoir? How much heat per cycle is pulled in from the cold reservoir? During one cycle, a refrigerator removes 480 J from a cold reservoir and discharges 780 J into its hot reservoir. What is its coefficient of performance? How much work per cycle does it require to operate? In a very mild winter climate, a heat pump has heat transfer from an environment at 13.1°C to one at 26.3 C. What is the best possible coefficient of performance for these temperatures?
