I just need clarification what are TL and TH?
Where do we get the values from?

Transcribed Image Text:A completely reversible heat pump produces heat at a rate of 300 kW to warm a
house maintained at 24°C. The exterior air, which is at 7°C, serves as the source.
Calculate the rate of entropy change of the two reservoirs and determine if this
heat pump satisfies the second law according to the increase of entropy principle.

According to the first law, the rate at which heat is removed from the low-temperature
energy reservoir is
300 kW -17.17 kW = 282.8 kW

The rate at which the entropy of the high temperature reservoir changes, according to the
definition of the entropy, is

The net rate of entropy change of everything in this system is

as it must be since the heat pump is completely reversible.
