A Carnot heat pump is to be used to heat a house and maintain it at 25°C in winter. On a day when the average outdoor temperature remains at about 2°C, the house is estimated to lose heat at a rate of 55,000 kJ/h. The heat pump consumes 4.8 kW of power while operating. 55,000 kJ/h Determine the total heating costs, assuming an average price of $0.11/kWh for electricity.
