A heat pump is like a refrigerator in that it uses work to take heat from a cold source (Tc, the inside of a house) and dumps it into a hot source (Th, usually the outdoor environment). a) Use the second law to find the magnitude of the work |w| needed to extract |qc] from the cold source and dump into the hot source. b) Assume all processes are reversible and the second law to explain why |w| > 0 if |qc| > 0 in part a).

2. A heat pump is like a refrigerator in that it uses work to take heat from a cold source (\(T_c\), the inside of a house) and dumps it into a hot source (\(T_h\), usually the outdoor environment).

a) Use the second law to find the magnitude of the work \(|w|\) needed to extract \(|q_c|\) from the cold source and dump into the hot source.

b) Assume all processes are reversible and use the second law to explain why \(|w| > 0\) if \(|q_c| > 0\) in part a).
