A geothermal heat pump absorbs 15 KJ/s of heat from the Earth 15 m below a house. This heat pump uses a 7.45 kJ/s compressor.

a. Calculate the COP of the heat pump.
b. In the summer, the cycle is reversed to cool the house. Calculate the COP of the cycle when it is operated as an air-conditioner assuming the working fluid rejects 15 Btu/s to the Earth.
