The structure of a house is such that it loses heat at a rate of 3800 kJ/h per C di erence between the indoors and outdoors. A heat pump that requires a power input of 4 kW is used to maintain this house at 24C. Determine the lowest outdoor temperature for which the heat pump can meet the heating requirements of this house.

Respuesta :

Answer:

-9.5° C

Explanation:

See attachment for calculations.

On the concluding parts, from the attachment, we have that

√[(297000 * 4)/(1056)] = 297 - T(l), and solving further, we get

297 - T(l) = √(1188000/1056)

297 - T(l) = √1125

297 - T(l) = 33.5

T(l) = 297 - 33.5

T(l) = 263.5

When you convert back to °C, we have

263.5 - 273 = -9.5° C
