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?

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...
