A vapor-compression heat pump with a heating capacity of 500 kJ/min is driven by a power cycle with a thermal efficiency of 20%. For the heat pump, Refrigerant 134a is compressed from saturated vapor at -10°C to the condenser pressure of 10 bar. The isentropic compressor efficiency is 80%. Liquid enters the expansion valve at 9.6 bar, 34°C. For the power cycle, 80% of the heat rejected is transferred to the heated space.

(a) Determine the power input to the heat pump compressor, in kW
(b) Evaluate the ratio of the total rate that heat is delivered to the heated space to the rate of heat input to the power cycle.
