Carnot heat pump is to be used to heat a house and maintain it at 25°C in winter. On a day when the average outdoor temperature remains at about 4°C, the house is estimated to lose heat at a rate of 110,000 kJ/h. The heat pump consumes 4.75 kW of power while operating. Determine; a. How long the heat pump ran on that day, in h. b. The total heating costs, assuming an average price of TLO.75/kWh for electricity. c. The heating cost for the same day if resistance heating is used instead of a heat pump.

QUESTION 9 The following processes occurs in a reversible thermodynamic cycle: 1-2: Reversible polytropic compression at pressure 0.8 bar at volume 0.08 m3 to a pressure 10.1 bar and specific volume 0.3 m3/kg. The index of compression may be taken as n. 2-3: Reversibly expansion with expansion index of 2 to pressure 2.3 bar. 3-1: Reversible cooling at constant volume to the initial state. Calculate the work for the compression in the process to 2 decimal places. Not in kllo or mega.
