Course work: Design a heat pump to heat the James Watt Building South

This course work assignment is part of the final assessment of this course, and it accounts for 25 marks (25%

of the total assessment).

Objective:

The peak heating demand of the James Watt Building South is assumed to be 400 kW. Its heating network

system delivers heat by pumping hot water at 80 *C through radiators.

The measured river water temperature for most of the heating season is in the range 6-10 °C. After extracting

heat, the cold water should be returned to the river with a temperature no less than 4 °C.

You are expected to apply the learned thermodynamics knowledge and skills to conduct a conceptual design

of a two-stage water source heat pump to extract heat from the water of river Kelvin to heat the James Watt

Building South.
