A building has a constant cooling load of 180 kW. It is cooled by a chiller system where the condenser heat is rejected to the atmosphere through a cooling tower. The variation of the COP of the chiller with the ambient wet-bulb temperature is well represented by the equation

The seasonal bin data for the local wet-bulb temperature is given in Table P13.8.1. Estimate (i) the seasonal energy input to the chiller, (ii) the average COP, and (ii) the total heat rejected in the cooling tower.
