A heat pump is used to extract heat from the outside atmosphere to heat the inside of a building. On a day when the outside air temperature is Tc°C, the heat pump is operating to a COP of 3.7, maintaining the inside temperature of the building at Th°C. If the building is losing heat at the rate of 53,709 kJ/hour in these conditions, determine how much power (kW) must be supplied to a heat pump? Keep two decimal places

Round everything to 4 decimal places. Since Lucas is an engineer familiar with thermodynamics. He decided to create his own heat engine at home to avoid paying for electricity. He created a small, makeshift heat engine for trial. The combustion of his fuel, diesel, reaches a temperature of 750°C, while waste heat is disposed to the atmosphere at 50°C.He, then connected a generator and a heat pump to the heat engine to check the amount of power being produced. Assume that the heat pump will be used to warm his room to 25°C, while the outside temperature is at 5°C. Lucas’ rooms loses 85,000 kJ/hr of heat. And, 25% of the heat engine’s power output goes to the heat pump. How much diesel (in kg) needs to be burned by the heat engine to maintain the temperature in Lucas’ room? Assume carnot heat engine and heat pump. If the natural gas has a heating value of 22,000 BTU/lb,
