A heat pump which operates on the ideal vapor-compression cycle
with R-134a is used to heat the house and maintain it at 25 ∘C
while the outside temperature is 5 ∘C. The house is losing heat at
a rate of 13 kW . The evaporator and condenser pressures are 300
kPa and 1 MPa , respectively. Use TESTCalc to answer the following
questions.
A)
Determine the mass flow rate of refrigerant.
Express your answer to three significant figures.
B)
Determine the power input to the compressor.
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the
appropriate units
C)
Determine the power input to the compressor.
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the
appropriate units.
D)
Determine the COP.
Express your answer to three significant figures.
E)
What-if scenario: What would the power
input to the compressor be if the house were losing heat at a rate
of 26 kW
instead?
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the
appropriate units.
F)
What-if scenario: What would the COP
be if the house were losing heat at a rate of 26 kW
instead?
Express your answer to three significant figures.
Write all the units please.
