A heat engine is used to drive a heat pump. The heat transferred from the heat engine and from the heat pump is used to heat the water circulating through the radiator of a building. The efficiency of the heat engine is 37% and the cop of the heat pump is 6. Evaluate the ratio of the heat transfer to the circulating water to the heat transfer to the heat engine

Let Q1 be heat entering the engine and Q2 and Q3 be the heat transfer to water.

To find: (Q2+Q3)/Q1 = k

Given: η = 0.37; COP =6

Solution: W = ηQ1 = 0.37Q1

Q2 = (1-η) Q1 = 0.63 Q1

Q3 = COP x W = 6 x 0.37 x Q1 = 2.22 Q1

K = (0.63 Q1 + 2.22 Q1)/Q1 = 2.85
