a heat pump in heating mode delivers 1,053 j of energy into a home. if the coefficient of performance is 12.7, how many joules of energy does it extract from the cold reservoir?



Answer :

OneeRa

The energy extracted from the cold reservoir is 970 Joule. The result is obtained by using the formula of coefficient of performance for a heat pump.

What is coefficient of performance (COP)?

The coefficient of performance is a ratio between energy produced and energy used. It expressed the efficiency of a heat pump. COP of a heat pump can be expressed as

[tex]COP = \frac{Q_{h} }{W} = \frac{Q_{h} }{Q_{h} - Q_{c}}[/tex]

Where

  • COP is the coefficient of performance
  • W is the power supplied to the compressor
  • Qh is the energy delivered to home
  • Qc is the energy extracted from the cold reservoir

If

  • Qh = 1,053 J
  • COP = 12.7

Then, what is the value of Qc?

The value of Qc is

[tex]COP = \frac{Q_{h} }{Q_{h} - Q_{c}}[/tex]

[tex]12.7 = \frac{1,053 }{1,053 - Q_{c}}[/tex]

[tex]12.7 (1,053 - Q_{c}) = 1,053[/tex]

[tex]13,373.1 - 12.7Qc = 1,053[/tex]

[tex]13,373.1 - 1,053 = 12.7Qc[/tex]

[tex]12,320.1 = 12.7Qc[/tex]

[tex]Qc = \frac{12,320.1}{12.7}[/tex]

[tex]Qc = 970 Joule[/tex]

Hence, the energy extracted from the cold reservoir of the heat pump is 970 Joule.
