T OR F? Sgen is greater than zero for reversible process
COP of a refrigerator is higher than COP of a heat pump operating between the same two reservoirs
The efficiency an irreversible heat engine is always lower than the efficiency of a reversible engine operating between the same two reservoirs.
In reversible process,all the internal irreversibility are zero.So there will be no entropy generation.Hence statement 1 is false.
COP of Heat pump=COP of refrigerator +1
Therefore statement 2 is false
Statement 3 is true as it follows Carnot Principle.
If you like my answer then please give me a " Thumbs Up ". It motivates me to solve more questions and help more number of students.
Thank You.
