First law of Thermodynamics

The word thermodynamics consists of two words: thermo- and dynamics. Dynamics means the study of motion. The field of thermodynamics is all about the study of the movement of heat. In a more meaningful way, it is stated as the study of the transfer of energy. Energy transfer is something that we encounter in day-to-day life. Automobiles, chemical reactions, refrigerators, and power generators work on the basis of thermodynamic principles.

4) A ground source heat pump heats a building by extracting heat from the ground and pumping it into the building. Define: Qc = heat extracted from the ground, Qn= heat pumped into the building, W = electric energy used by the heat pump, Tc= temperature of the ground, T = temperature of building (Qc, Qn, and W are positive by definition). Assume Tr > Tc. a) Draw a diagram showing energy flow in and out of the heat pump. b) Write a general expression for the change AS in the entropy of the "universe", that is the heat pump plus the cold and hot reservoirs, in terms of the quantities defined above. Now assume ideal (reversible) operation, and take Te= 10 °C and Tp= 20 °C. What is the coefficient of performance (ČOP) of the heat pump? By what factor would this change if we had Tc = 0 °C instead?
The urban heat island effect is often strongest at night when temperatures would typically drop. What does this indicate about energy transfer and the material used in the building? (a) The material in buildings releases more energy at night than it absorbs during the day (b) The material in buildings absorbs a lot of energy during the day and when it gets colder at night the energy is released back into the cooler air. (c) The material in buildings absorbs energy during the day and releases it because the temperature of the buildings is lower than the cooler air (d) The material in buildings releases a lot of energy into the hot air during the day so at night all of the energy is still there
