Reference no: EM13701706

A heat pump is used to heat a building. The outside air temperature is -10 C and the desired inside temperature is 20.3 C. The heat loss through the walls, ceiling, etc, is 30 kW. Determine the ideal coefficient of performance and the minimum power required to maintain the heated space at a constant temperature.
