An ideal reversible heat pump is taking heat from the outside air at -14.0°c and discharging it into the house at 20.0°c. what is the coefficient of performance of this heat pump?

Sagot :

the coefficient of performance of this heat pump is 8.61.

What is Heat pump ?

The air source heat pump converts heat from the ambient air into a low-temperature liquid refrigerant. The pump compresses the liquid to raise its temperature using power. To release the heat it had been holding, it then condenses back into a liquid. Your underfloor heating system or radiators get heat.

coefficient of performance -The usable heating or cooling delivered to work (energy) needed ratio, also known as the coefficient of performance, or COP, of a heat pump, refrigerator, or air conditioning system. Higher efficiency, less energy (power) usage, and thus reduced operational costs are all related to higher COPs.

temperature of cold reservoir = -14.0°C

Tc = [ 273+ (-14.0)]K = 259K

temperature of hot reservoir = 20°C

Th = [ 273+ (20)]K = 293K

therefor, formula for coefficient of performance

Cop = Th/Th-Tc

Cop = 293/34

Cop = 8.61
