Required information NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. A 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 2°C, the house is estimated to lose heat at a rate of 55,000 kJ/h. The heat pump consumes 4.8 kW of power while operating. 55,000 kJ/h Determine the total heating costs, assuming an average price of $0.11/kWh for electricity. The total heating cost is $40.33 (You must provide an answer before moving to the next part.) < Prev 7 8 of 9 Next >

3.5 A novel heat engine is being considered for producing work from the thermal energy contained in the wastewater discharge from a large food-processing plant. On an average day, 35 ° C wastewater leaves the plant and is discharged into the ocean at 1,000 gallons per minute. If the average annual ocean temperature is 10 ° C at that location, what is the maximum power that could be produced by this heat engine? What would be the thermal cycle efficiency of your maximum power engine? You can assume that the heat capacity of water at constant pressure is constant at 4,200 J/kg K.
A heat pump with a COP of 3.2 is used to heat a perfectly sealed house (no air leaks). The entire mass within the house (air, furniture, etc.) is equivalent to 1200 kg of air. When running, the heat pump consumes electric power at a rate of 5 kW. The temperature of the house was 7°C when the heat pump was turned on. If heat transfer through the envelope of the house (walls, roof, etc.) is negligible, the length of time the heat pump must run to raise the temperature of the entire contents of the house to 22°C is (a) 13.5 min (b) 43.1 min (c) 138 min (d) 18.8 min (e) 808 min
