Textbook Question

Chapter 19, Problem 43P

You operate a store that’s heated by an oil furnace supplying 30 kWh of heat from each gallon of oil. You’re considering switching to a heat-pump system. Oil costs $1.75/gallon, and electricity costs 16.5ȼ/kWh. What’s the minimum heat-pump COP that will reduce your heating costs?
