A heat pump uses groundwater at 12°C as an energy source. If the energy delivered by the heat pump is to be 60 MJ/h, estimate the minimum mass flow rate of groundwater if the compressor operates with R-134a between pressures of 100 kPa and 1.0 MPa. Calculate the minimum compressor power.

Consider a residential heat pump that uses lake water as the
heat source in the winter and as heat sink inthe summer. The house
is to maintained at a winter temperature of T= 18 degrees C and a
summer temperature of T= 25 degrees C. To do this efficiently, it
is found that the indoor coil should be at T= 50 degrees C in the
winter and T= 5 degrees C in the summer. The outdoor coil
temperature can be...

A heat pump is used to heat a house with an indoor temperature
of 21 ◦C. Assume the outdoor temperature is -9 ◦C. What is the
maximal energy that could be delivered to the house in one second
if the work done on the heat pump is 1500 W (1500 J/s)?
(a) 3000 J (b) 3500 J (c) 15.0 kJ (d) 200 J (e) 10.7 kJ

In an environmental project, a ground source heat pump system
will be installed, which will result in an annual fuel savings of
2000 HK$/year. The initial investment of the heat pump system is 14
000 HK$. The life-time of the heat pump system is 20 years. The
annual maintenance cost is 300 HK$/year. At the end of the 20
years' life time, the salvage value is 1500 HK$. The interest rate
is 10%.

In an environmental project, a ground source heat pump system
will be installed, which will result in an annual fuel savings of
$2000/year. The initial investment of the heat pump system is $14
000. The life-time of the heat pump system is 20 years. The annual
maintenance cost is $300/year. At the end of the 20 years' life
time, the salvage value is $1500. The interest rate is 10%.
Please investigate and comment that how the "annual fuel saving"
and...

A Carnot heat pump moves heat to a warm house at 24°C at a rate
of 300kW. The heat is pumped from the outside air at 7°C. What is
the power required by the heat pump?
What is the rate of change of entropy for each of the thermal
reservoirs (the house, and the outside air)?
Does this heat pump satisfy the second law of thermodynamics
increase of entropy principle?

An R-134 heat pump system obtains heat from a geothermal source
and transfers 90,000 Btu/hr to an office building for space
heating. The refrigeration cycle operates at pressure limits of 50
and 120 psia. If the compressor efficiency is 75%, find the power
input (in hp and in Watts). (b) Find the COP for this heating
application. If the building used electrical resistive heating
rather than a heat pump, how much electrical power (in W) would be
required? What is...

A binary geothermal power plant uses geothermal water at 160°C
as the heat source. The plant operates on the simple Rankine cycle
with isobutane as the working fluid. Heat is transferred to the
cycle by a heat exchanger in which geothermal liquid water enters
at 160°C at a rate of 555.9 kg/s and leaves at 90°C. Isobutane
enters the turbine at 3.25 MPa and 147°C and leaves at 79.5°C and
410 kPa. Isobutane is condensed in an air-cooled condenser and...
