We propose to heat a house in the winter with a heat pump. the house is to be maintained at 20 c at all times. when the ambient temperature outside drops to -10 c, the rate at which heat lost from the house is estimated to be 25 kw. what is the minimum electrical power required to drive the heat pump?

An ideal otto cycle with air as the working fluid has a compression ratio of 8. the minimum and maximum temperatures in the cycle are 300 k and 1340 k. use constant specific heats at room temperature to determine (a) the amount of heat transferred to the air during the heat- addition kj/kg, (b) the thermal efficiency, and (c) the thermal efficiency of a carnot cycle ope limits. process, in rating between the same temperature
