An air conditioner operating at steady state maintains a dwelling at 70oF on a day when the outside temperature is 90oF. If the

rate of heat transfer into the dwelling through the walls and roof is 30,000 Btu/h, might a net power input to the air conditioner compressor of 3 hp be sufficient? If yes, determine the coefficient of performance. If no, determine the minimum theoretical power input, in hp.

30000 btuh /3413 btuh/kw. = 8.8 kw

8.8 kw/.746 kw/hp = 11.8 hp if COP is 1

11.8/3 hp (COP coefficient of performance) = 3.99 COP

>>>So yes a 3.0 hp compressor with a nominal COP of 4 will handle the 30,000 btuh load.

3.2 to 4.5 is expected COP range for an air cooled heat pump or a/c unit.

: Does increasing temperature increase pressure?
Vesnalui [34]
Yes, an increase in temperature is accompanied by an increase in pressure. Temperature is the measurement of heat present and more heat means more energy. Molecules in hotter temperatures move faster and more often, eventually moving into the gaseous phase. The molecules would fill the container, and the hotter it got the more they would bounce off the walls, pushing outward, increasing the pressure.
I suppose you could measure this with some kind of loosely inflated balloon and subject it to different temperatures and then somehow measure the size/pressure of it.
