- Please answer a,b, and carrow_forward1. Assess the limiting factors that impact on the economics of heat pumps. As an example, consider the following: a) Do you think a heat pump system will be more cost-effective in New York or in Miami? Explain. b) How does the COP of a water-source heat pump system compare to that of an air- source system? c) Temperature variationarrow_forwarda) State whether the following statements are true or false A process must satisfy the first law to occur, however, satisfying the first law does not ensure that the process will take place. ii. A heat engine must reject waste heat into a low temperature sink to operate. A cyclic device that transfers heat from a cold medium to a warmer medium is only possible to be built if there is a provision for work input. The Carnot cycle is the most efficient thermodynamic cycle operating between two specified temperatures and can have as much efficiency as 100%. iii. iv.arrow_forward
