Answer

$C_s=\$13.71$

Work Step by Step

For air: $COP_{HP}=\dfrac{1}{1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}}$ $T_L=0°C,\ T_H=25°C$ $COP=11.92$ $COP_{HP}=\dot{Q}_H/\dot{W}_i,\ \dot{Q}_H=140,000\ kJ/h$ $\dot{W}_i=3.262\ kW$ $C=\dot{W}_i\times p_e\times\Delta t,\quad p_e=\ 0.105\ kWh,\ \Delta t=100h$ $C=\$34.26$ For lake water: $COP_{HP}=\dfrac{1}{1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}}$ $T_L=10°C,\ T_H=25°C$ $COP=19.87$ $COP_{HP}=\dot{Q}_H/\dot{W}_i,\ \dot{Q}_H=140,000\ kJ/h$ $\dot{W}_i=1.957\ kW$ $C=\dot{W}_i\times p_e\times\Delta t,\quad p_e=\ 0.105\ kWh,\ \Delta t=100h$ $C=\$20.55$ $C_s=C_a-C_l=\$13.71$
