a house that is losing heat at a rate of 35,000 kj/h when the outside temperature drops to 4°c is to be heated by electric resistance heaters. if the house is to be maintained at 25°c at all times, determine the re

Sagot :

Q(l) = 35,000 kj/h

T° = 4° c = 277k

T(H) = 298 k

given that house is to be maintained at 25° c at all times

hence internal energy is zero. du=0

now, using first law of thermodyanamics

dq= du+dw

dq= dw ( because du = 0)

hence, heat lost by house is equal to the work input for system

Q(l)= w (input)

w (input) =35,000 kj/hr

now, coefficient of performance for reversible heat pump = cop ( rev,hp)

cop ( rev,hp) = = 14.9

cop ( rev,hp) = Q(l)/w (input)

14.9 = 35,000/ (win)rev

(win)rev = 2349 kj/h ( reversible work input)

Irreversibility of process = I

I = (win) - (win)rev

I = 35000- 2349

I = 32651 KJ/hr
