A heat pump is used to meet the heating requirements of a house and maintain it at 20°C. On a day when the outdoor air temperature drops to 2°C, the house is estimated to lose heat at a rate of 80,000 kJ/h. If the heat pump under these conditions has a COP of 2.5, determine the power consumed by the heat pump. COP=2.5 House 20°C 32,000 kJ/h 34,000 kJ/h HP Outdoor air at -2°C 35,000 kJ/h OH 33,000 kJ/h Q₁ = ? 80,000 kJ/h W Heat loss net.in
