Q6// A heat pump is used to maintain a house at 22°C by extracting heat from the outside air 22c on a day when the outside air temperature is 2°C. The house is estimated to lose heat at a rate of 110,000 kJ/h, and the heat pump consumes HP SAW 5 kW of electric power when running. Is this heat Oundoors pump powerful enough to do the job?

Thermodynamics. Please help me out A Carnot heat engine is used to power a Carnot refrigerator that operatesbetween 258.15 K and 293.15 K. In the heat engine, water is used as theworking fluid. Heat is added to the water at 473.15 K, where it changes fromsaturated liquid to saturated vapor. Heat is rejected from the heat engine atP=20 kPa and constant temperatue. Calculate(a) The heat added to the water per kilogram of water(b) The amount of heat that must be added to the water so that therefrigerator can remove 1 kJ of heat from the cold reservoir.
The temperature inside a kitchen freezer is a constant 256 K, while the temperature of the air in the kitchen is a constant 302 K. The freezer's insulation is imperfect, and it conducts energy into its interior at a rate of 0.150 W. Assuming the freezer can be approximated as ideal (operating in a Carnot cycle), what is the average power required by the freezer's motor to maintain the constant interior temperature? W Need Help?
