Determine the heat transfer rate to the home


A reversible heat engine operating a 1500 F source and the atmosphere at 0 F produces work to drive a reversible heat pump. The heat pump is connected to the 0 F atmosphere and supplies the heating required to maintain a home at 70 F. The rate of heat transfer from the source is 100 kBtu/hr.

a) Determine th power delivered by the heat engine (Answer: 76.54 kBtu/hr)

b) Determine the heat transfer rate (kBtu/hr) to the home (Answer: 579.41 kBtu/hr,73 kBtu/hr)
