Lecture

Heat Pumps: Thermodynamic Cycles and Efficiency

Description

This lecture covers the concept of heat pumps, which gather heat at low temperatures and reject it at higher temperatures, providing both cooling and heating. It explains the thermodynamic cycles involved in heating and cooling heat pumps, energy balance, ideal effectiveness, and exergy approach. The lecture also discusses the heating and cooling effectiveness, specific exergy losses, coefficient of performance, and the relationship between Carnot factor and exergy efficiency.
