You have a workshop in the back yard of your house where you do carpentry. You like to be at constant temperature of 25oC while the room loses 10 kW to the colder outside at a temperature of 10oC. You use a heat pump to keep your workshop at your ideal temperature. The heat pump uses 2 kW of power input. Calculate the rate of entropy generation of the heat pump.
