Problem 06.107-Minimum heat pump power A heat pump is used to heat a house and maintain it at 24°C. On a winter day when the outdoor air temperature is -5°C, the house is estimated to lose heat at a rate of 81000 kJ/h. Determine the minimum power required to operate this heat pump. (Round the final answer to three decimal places.) The minimum power required to operate this heat pump is kW.

A heat engine running between a pit at 15 degree and an energy storage that is 50 times warmer than the pitworks. 2/3 of the generated power is used to run the Carnot heat pump, which heats an home. Heatpump draws heat from the air at 4 degree and keeps the home at 15 degree. So the heat loss of homeis 61000 kJ / h;a. Describe the system by drawing it schematically.b. Calculate the minimum heat that should be transferred to the heat engine.
Pls. Answer thank you! A logging firm in Isabella operates a Diesel Electric Plant to supply its electric energy requirements. During a 2 hour period, the plant consumed 250 gallons of fuel at 80°F and produced 2900 kW-hrs. Industrial fuel is used at 30°API and was purchased at P30/li at 60°F. Determine the overall thermal efficiency in percent of the plant.
