A residential heat pump has a coefficient of performance of 2.6. How much heating effect in Btu/h will result when 4.6 hp is supplied to the heat pump?

a) Heating effect in Btu/h

What would the heat effect be if this input power was converted directly to heat (as in a Joule device)?

b) Joule Heating in Btu/h
