3.5 A heat pump is a closed system that operates steadily (or in cycles) while requiring the mechanical power input W, absorbing the heat transfer rate Qo from the ambient, and transferring heat at the rate QH to the inside of a house. In the steady state, the house temperature remains constant as the heating effect QH is balanced by the heat that leaks to the ambient through the house insulation. The heat pump operates irreversibly. Show that the power requirement of the heat pump is proportional to the rate of entropy generation in the entire region where the temperature is higher than the ambient temperature To. Which features and components are responsible for this entropy generation rate?

Give an example of in the absence of any work interactions, the energy change of a system is equal to the net heat transfer.
Refrigerators to preserve perishable foods have long been one of the essential appliances in a household. The refrigeration system of the household refrigerator is basically based on the vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, as shown in Figure Q2.1. Among the important components of the vapor-compressions refrigeration cycle are a throttling valve (A) and a compressor (B). In this refrigeration system, tetrafluoroethane (R-134a) is used as the refrigerant. Condenser W B A Evaporator Figure Q2.1: Basic components of a refrigeration system.

An inventor claims to have a solar powered heat pump that receives energy as heat from the sun at the rate of 10 kW and extracts energy as heat from the environment at the rate of 7 kW. This system does not require any shaft or electrical power input. If you think this device is impossible, explain why using basic principles to support your argument. If you think it might be possible, what would be the steady-state rate of transfer of energy as heat to the house? (Assume TH = 20 Cand TL = -15 C).
A heat engine operates between thermal energy stores at 800 ° C and 20 ° C. Half of the power generated by the heat engine drives the Carnot heat pump, which is used to heat a house. While the interior temperature of the house is 22 ° C, the outside temperature is 2 ° C, the heat loss of the house is 62000 kJ / h. In these conditions, calculate the minimum heat that should be given to the heat machine per unit time as kW.
