at 238.9 K is 1.1 kW per TOR. Find (a) COP. (b) T H and (c) the heat delivered. (d) When
the device is used to deliver heat, what is its COP? Ans. 3.2, 313.3 K, 4.2

Problem No. 3:
Prove (demonstrate) that the COP for heating of a reversed Carnot cycle is equivalent
to its COP when used for refrigeration plus one; that is COP H = COPc + 1.
Given :
COP H =COPC +1
Solution :
QR
COP H =
W net
QA
COPC =
W net
W net =Q R−Q A
COP H =COPC +1
Therefore ;
