Question

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.
