Question:

Ona cold (−10◦C) winter day, a heat pump provides 20kWto heat a house maintained at 20◦C and it has a COPHP of 4 using the maximum power available. The next day a storm brings the outside temperature to −15◦C, assuming that the COPHP changes by the same percentage as a Carnot unit and that the house loses heat to the outside air. How cold is the house then?
