Question:
It is a cold winter day in the author’s neighborhood. One of the houses is heated with a reversible heat pump that uses the outside air as the cold reservoir. Suppose 40,000 J of energy are lost from the house due to heat conduction through the walls, windows, and one broken window. Estimate how much energy must be used by the heat pump (as input through mechanical work) to compensate for this loss of energy.
Step by Step Answer:
The maximum efficiency of a reversible heat pump i...View the full answer

Conduction heat transfer is the transfer of heat through matter (i.e., solids, liquids, or gases) without bulk motion of the matter. In another ward, conduction is the transfer of energy from the more energetic to less energetic particles of a substance due to interaction between the particles. Conduction heat transfer in gases and liquids is due to the collisions and diffusion of the molecules during their random motion.
