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.

Solutions

Expert Solution

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.
