A heat pump is used to warm a building in the winter. This system implements an ideal vapor-compression cycle with R-134a as the working fluid. The cycle operates between 180 kPa and 900 kPa, with a mass flow rate of 0.05 kg/s.

Determine:

(a) the heating load that can be met (kW)

(b) the power input required for this system (kW)

(c) the coefficient of performance

(d) the warmest outside temperature at which this particular cycle is unable to operate (C)

(Same as the coldest outside temperature at which it is able to operate)
