Q1.By supplying energy at an average rate of 21100 kJ/h, a heat pump maintains the temperature of
a house at 21⁰C. If the electricity cost is Rs. 8 / kW.h, determine the minimum theoretical operating
cost for each day of operation if the heat pump receives energy by heat transfer from (a) the outdoor
air at -5⁰C and (b) well water at 8⁰C. [CO3] [K2] [ 5 marks ]

Q2. An isolated system consists of a closed aluminium vessel of mass 0.1 kg containing 1 kg of liquid
water, each initially at 5⁰C, immersed in a 20 kg bath of liquid water initially at 20⁰C. The system is

kJ/K of the aluminium vessel and each of the liquid water masses and (c) the amount of entropy
produced in kJ/K. Take Cp for aluminium as 0.9 kJ/kg.K and for water as 4.2 kJ/kg.K.
