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?

If the thermal strain developed in polyimide film during deposition is given as 0.0044. assume room temperature is kept at 17.3 c, and thermal coefficient of expansion for the film and the substrate are 54 x 10^-6c^-1 and 3.3 x 10^-6c^-1respectively. calculate the deposition temperature.

Apipe with an outside diameter of 15 cm is exposed to an ambient air and surrounding temperature of -20°c. the pipe has an outer surface temperature of 65°c and an emissivity of 0.85. if the rate of heat loss from the pipe surface is 0.95 kw per meter of length, the external convective heat transfer coefficient (h) is: (a) 12.5 w/m"k (b) 18.6 w/mk (c) 23.7 w/mk (d) 27.9 w/mk (e) 33.5 w/mk
