Question 2. A household with electric resistance heating plans to switch from resistive heating to a ground source heat pump. Annual heat consumption of the house is 30 000 kWh. Investment cost of the heat pump is 21 000 €. Heat pumps COP is 4.0. How much are the annual savings compared to resistive heating after the change of the heating system (in kWh)? Average price of electricity is assumed to be 12 c/kWh. Round off your answer to one decimal digit and enter it without the unit.

Question 10 Consider a residential heat pump use to maintain the inside air temperature of the house at 23C. Assuming Carnot assumptions, estimate the minimum power requirements (kW) if the outside temperature is OC and the house requires 1 kW of heating per temperature difference between the indoors and the outdoors temperatures (C). 2.392 12.87 1.163 1.787
The heat loss from a chicken coop (chicken house) is K(Tnside - Totside) during the winter, where K is 1.5 kW/K. The chicken coop temperature can vary between 15 °C and 25 °C without harming egg production. A heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 40% of that of a reversible heat pump is used to heat the chicken coop. What are the minimum power requirements if the outside temperature is -5 °C? .
A heat pump is used to heat a house. When the outside air temperature is 266K and the inside is maintained at 293K, the heat loss from the house is 195 kW. a. What is the minimum electric power (kW) required to operate the heat pump? b. What is the rate of heat transfer to the heat pump? C. What is the COP for an ideal heat pump operating between these temperatures?
a) A reversible heat pump absorbs heat at a temperature of 35.00oC and produces heat at 67.00oC, The work input rate is 101.00 kW, determine the heat output rate. the answer is 1073.13kW b) A reversible heat pump absorbs heat at a temperature of 25.00oC and produces heat at 61.00oC, The work input rate is 110.00 kW, determine the heat input rate. the answer is 2490.16kW
(b) After graduation, you decided to work overseas to experience living in a country with four seasons. Your neighbour, knowing that you are an engineer asked your help to install a heat pump system for his house. He wanted to always maintain the temperature in his house at 24°C during winter. In that area during winters, average outside temperature is -3°C. He also has an underground water well with average water temperature of 10°C during winter. You estimated that the heat losses from the house under the average outside temperature to be 75000 kJh. Investigate the most economical mean to power the heat pump (by calculating the minimum power required) if you can choose to extract heat from either: i. The outside air at average temperature of -3°c ii. The well water at 10°C State the reasoning for your calculations.

You have decided now that quarantine is about over to take a trip to Hawaii. You decide to rent a small house that has floor to ceiling windows. It is small so it is one floor. The length and width of the windows are 9m x 14m. There are 4 of them. It is a constant 950F (350C) outside and you really like it 650F(180C) inside. You have an air conditioner that operates at 75 percent Carnot efficiency. The windows are 6cm thick and the rest of the house is well insulated. a) How much electrical energy do you use in a day? b) What is the cooling capacity each day?
