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 assumed to be T= 5 degrees C during the winter months and T= 35 degrees C during the summer. Using R-134a as the working fluid.

For the winter months,

(a) The coefficient of performance for a Carnot heat pump cycle operating at the given temperatures.

(b) Determine the temperature and pressures at the principal states of the cycle.

(c) The power input to the compressor, in kJ/kg.

(d) The thermal efficiency (coefficient of performance)

A centrifugal pump is to be used to pump water from a lake to a storage tank which is 165 feet above the surface of the lake. The pumping rate is to be 10 - 35 gal/min at a water temperature of 43°F. The water is used for drinking but will have to undergo filtration and chlorine treatment because there is sediment in the lake. The pump on hand can develop a discharge pressure of 60.0 psig pumping at a...
