    The document contains a quiz with 5 questions on refrigeration engineering concepts. Question 1 asks about the power required by a heat pump on two different days with outside temperatures of -10C and -15C, maintaining an indoor temperature of 20C with a given COP. Question 2 asks to show that the COP of a heat pump equals the COP of a refrigerator plus 1. Question 3 has two parts asking about the minimum power required to heat a house in winter and maximum summer temperature that can be maintained with the same power. Question 4 asks about the work done by a battery and final pressure of nitrogen gas heated in a rigid insulated tank. Question 5 asks to express the law of conservation of mass for a control volume.

    MEng 111 – Refrigeration Engineering Quiz 1

    1. On a cold (−10◦C) winter day, a heat pump provides 20 kW to heat a house maintained
    at 20◦C and it has a COPHP of 4. How much power does the heat pump require? The next
    day, a storm brings the outside temperature to −15◦C, with the same COP
    and the same house heat transfer coefficient for the heat loss to the outside air. How
    much power does the heat pump require then?

    2 .Show that the COP of Heat Pump = COP of Refrigerator + 1

    3.A heat pump heats a house in the winter and then reverses to cool it in summer. The
    interior temperature should be 20◦C in the winter and 25◦C in the summer. Heat transfer
    through the walls and ceilings is estimated to be 2400 kJ per hour per degree
    temperature difference between the inside and outside.
    a. If the outside winter temperature is 0◦C, what is the minimum power required to drive
    the heat pump?
    b. For the same power as in part (a),what is the maximum outside summer temperature
    for which the house can be maintained at 25◦C?

    4.A rigid and insulated tank of volume 100 liters contains nitrogen at 300 K and 1 bar. An
    electrical resistor placed inside the tank is connected to a battery and current flows
    through the resistor till the gas raises to a temperature of 350 K. Assume nitrogen is an
    ideal gas. The molar heat capacity at constant volume (Cv) of nitrogen is 5R/2 where R
    is the universal gas constant. Determine the work done by the battery and the final
    pressure of the gas in the tank.

    5. Express the law of conservation of mass for a control volume.
