A house is losing heat at a rate of 4500 kJ/h per °C temperature difference between the indoor and the outdoor temperatures. Express the rate of heat loss
A house is heated by an electric heat pump using the outside as the low-temperature reservoir.
A heat pump heats a house in the winter and then reverses to cool it in the summer. The interior temperature should be 20°C in the winter and 25°C in the summer
A heat pump has a coefficient of performance that is 50% of the theoretical maximum. It maintains a house at 20°C, which leaks energy of 0.6 kW per degree
