Answer

$\dot{W}=60.3\ W$

Work Step by Step

$\dot{m}_w=1 kg/L\times 0.4\ L/h.person\times 20 persons=8.0\ kg/h$ $\dot{Q}_c=\dot{m}_wc_p(T_i-T_e),\quad c_p=4.18\ kJ/kg.°C,\ T_i=22°C,\ T_e=8°C$ $\dot{Q}_c=468\ kJ/h=130\ W$ $\dot{Q}_t=45\ W$ $\dot{Q}_r=\dot{Q}_t+\dot{Q}_c$ $\dot{Q}_r=175\ W$ $COP=\dot{Q}_r/\dot{W}=2.9$ $\dot{W}=60.3\ W$
