Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.25P
A heat pump uses a 100,000-gallon swimming pooi as a heat source in the winter. When the heat pump is running at full capacity it is drawing 3.5 tons of energy from the pool. Assuming no heat gain to the pool from sunlight or ground conduction, how long would it take the heat pump, running at full capacity, to draw the pooi temperature down 20F?

Don't use chatgpt,I am tired of it.
A homeowner is trying to decide whether to heat with a furnace rated at 95%
efficiency or by an electrically powered heat pump. She lives in a town where
electricity is produced by a coal-fired power plant that claims to operate with 1st law
efficiency that is 55% of the Carnot limit. The heat pump's CoP is advertised to
be 40% of the Carnot limit. For what range of outside temperatures To would the
2nd law efficiency of the furnace be greater than that of the heat pump? Assume T+
= 400°C, T- = T= 40°C.
