Choose correct answer: Refrigerators and heat pumps operate on the same cycle but differ in their objectives. Select one: True False
True or false Heat is transferred to a system by either a cheap commercially available air-sourced heat pump with coefficient of performance of just 1.5, or an expensive 100% efficient electrical resistance heater. The loss of Carnot Work Potential (Exergy destruction, or T0Sloss term) is minimum when heat is added by the cheap commercial heat pump.
