\(CO{P_{HP}} = \frac{{Desired\;Output}}{{Required\;Input}} = \frac{{{Q_1}}}{W} = \frac{{{Q_1}}}{{{Q_1} - {Q_2}}} = \frac{{{T_1}}}{{{T_1} - {T_2}}} = \frac{{{Q_H}}}{{{Q_H} - {Q_L}}}\)

Calculation:

Given:

T1 = 27°C = 300 K, T2 = -23°C = 250 K, W = 1 kW

Now

\(\frac{{{Q_1}}}{1} = \frac{{{300}}}{{{300} - {250}}} \Rightarrow Q = 6 \ kW\)
