Extracted text: 1. A geothermal heat pump with a COP of 1.3 provides 48000 BTU/hr of heat to a building. Assuming an electrical power rate of $0.20/kWh. answer the following questions for this system: a. What would be the monthly cost to provide heat at a rate of 48000 BTU/hr if the heat was delivered by a simple electrical resistance heater? b. How much heat is drawn from the ground by the heat pump in that month, in kWh? c. What is the savings per month enjoyed by operating this heat pump for a month vs. a simple electrical resistance heater?
