Answer to the following: a. Describe essential characteristics of the reversed Carnot cycle. b. Write down the two formulas for the coefficient of performance (COP) of reversible refrigerator and for COP of irreversible heat pump. c. Derive the relation between COPR for refrigerator and COPHP for heat pump. d. Discuss specific differences between irreversible refrigerator and reversible refrigerator.

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.
