You are heating motor oil to make it flow better from the original shipping container to the new container you built. You know that the heating rate of the motor oil is 2.50 degrees Celsius per slug second [°C
/(slug s)]. Express this heating rate in units of degrees Fahrenheit per pound-mass second [°F/ (lbm s)].

The heating rate is
°F / (lbm s). (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
A heat pump is used to heat a house. The heat loss of the house at a time when the outside temperature is A ° C is B kJ / h. The interior temperature of the house is C ° C. If the coefficient of action (COPIP) of the heat pumpis D under these conditions ,a) The power consumed by the heat pump [kW],b) The heat transferred from the cold outside air to the heat pump [kJ / h]c) If the heat pump is considered to work reversibly,calculate the COPIP.
