We propose to heat a house during the winter using 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 is lost from the house is estimated to be 25 kW. What is the minimum electrical power required to drive the heat pump unit?

The y form of iron is known as: a) ferrite b) cementite c) perlite d) austenite

When using the ohmmeter function of a digital multimeter, the leads are placed in what position relative to the component being tested? a. parallel b. control c. series d. line

Refrigerant 134a enters an insulated compressor operating at steady state as saturated vapor at -26°c with a volumetric flow rate of 0.18 m3/s. refrigerant exits at 9 bar, 70°c. changes in kinetic and potential energy from inlet to exit can be ignored. determine the volumetric flow rate at the exit, in m3/s, and the compressor power, in kw.
