Chapter 5, Problem 5.59P
A heat pump receives energy from a source at 80°C and delivers energy to a boiler that operates at 350kPa. The boiler input is saturated liquid water and the exit is saturated vapor, both at 350kPa. The heat pump is driven by a 2.5−MW motor and has a COP that is 60% that of a Carnot heat pump. What is the maximum mass−flow rate of water the system can deliver?

A heat pump receives energy from a source at 80∘C and delivers energy to a boiler that operates at 350 kPa. The boiler input is saturated liquid water and the exit is saturated vapor, both at 350 kPa. The heat pump is driven by a 2.5-MW motor and has a COP that is 60% that of a Carnot heat pump.
What is the maximum mass-flow rate of water the system can deliver?
4. A Camot heat pump with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to keep
a room at 78*F by absorbing heat from geothermal liquid water that enters the
evaporator at 60°C at a rate of 3.78 kg/min and leaves (still as a liquid) at 40°c
The refrigerant, meanwhile, enters the evaporator at 12°C with a quality of 25%
and leaves at the same pressure as saturated vapor. If the compressor
consumes 1.8 kW of power, detemine (a) the mass flow rate (in kg/s) of the
refrigerant at the evaporator, (b) the rate of heat (in kW) supplied to maintain
the room temperature, and (c) the COP. Also, what is (d) the ambient
temperature at the outside, in "C, that necessitates the use of the heat pump?
Assume steam properties to compute for the thermodynamic conditions of
geothermal water.

A heat pump with refrigerant-134a (R-134a) as the working fluid is used to keep a space at 21 °C by absorbing heat from geothermal water that enters the evaporator at Ti,water = 60 °C at a rate of 0.067 kg/s and leaves at To,water = 40 °C. The specific heat of liquid water is 4.18 kJ/(kg∙K). Refrigerant enters the evaporator at TR-134a = 10 °C with a quality of x = 12 % and leaves at the same pressure as saturated R-134a vapor at the same temperature. The compressor consumes 1.4 kW of power.
1)Determine the mass flow rate (in kg/s) of the refrigerant.
2)Determine the rate of heat (in kW) supplied to the space.
2)Determine the COP of the heat pump.
4)Determine the ideal minimum power input (in kW) to the compressor for the same rate of heat supply
