The structure of a house is such that it loses heat at a rate of 4500kJ/h per °C difference between the indoors and outdoors. A

heat pump that requires a power input of 4 kW is used to maintain this house at 24°C. Determine the lowest outdoor temperature for which the heat pump can meet the heating requirements of this house.

Answer:

15.24°C

Explanation:

The quality of any heat pump pumping heat from cold to hot place is determined by its coefficient of performance (COP) defined as

COP=\frac{Q_{in}}{W}

Where Q_{in} is heat delivered into the hot place, in this case, the house, and W is the work used to pump heat

You can think of this quantity as similar to heat engine's efficiency

In our case, the COP of our heater is

COP_{heater} = \frac{\frac{4500\ kJ}{3600\ s} *(T_{house}-T_{out})}{4\ kW}

Where T_{house} = 24°C and T_{out} is temperature outside

To achieve maximum heating, we will have to use the most efficient heat pump, and, according to the second law of thermodynamics, nothing is more efficient that Carnot Heat Pump

Which has COP of:

COP_{carnot}=\frac{T_{house}}{T_{house}-T_{out}}

So we equate the COP of our heater with COP of Carnot heater

\frac{1.25 *(T_{house}-T_{out})}{4}=\frac{T_{house}}{T_{house}-T_{out}}

Rearrange the equation

\frac{1.25}{4}(24-T_{out})^2-24=0

Solve this simple quadratic equation, and you should get that the lowest outdoor temperature that could still allow heat to be pumped into your house would be

15.24°C
