A farmer runs a heat pump using 2 kW of power input. It keeps a chicken hatchery at a constant 30°C while the room loses 10 kW to the colder outside ambient at 10°C. What is the rate of entropy generated in the heat pump? What is the rate of entropy generated in the heat loss process?
Hatchery, steady state.
To have steady state at 30°C for the hatchery
C.V. From hatchery at 30°C to the ambient 10°C. This is typically the walls and the outer thin boundary layer of air. Through this goes QLoss
