HEAT PUMP
An object with a more significant temperature is said to be hot, and the word “hot brings to mind the word “heat.”
Heat moves from a hotter item to a cooler object when the two things are placed in contact. For instance, a pot of
chocolate drink feels hot when touched, while you feel cold when you touch a scoop of ice cream. The temperature of hot
chocolate is relatively higher than the average body temperature of 370C; on the other hand, ice cream’s temperature is
lower than 370C. When you touch a chocolate drink cup, heat flows from a hotter cup to a cooler hand. Furthermore,
when you feel a cone of ice cream, heat moves from hot to cold. In this case, from the warmer hand to the cooler cone.
The feedback of the nerves in hand to the arrival or departure of heat yield the brain to recognize the cup of chocolate
drink as being hot and a cone of ice cream as being cold.
A heat pump a device that allows heat to transfer from a cold reservoir to a warmer one, which cannot happen
spontaneously, or on its own. Work is needed for the heat to move from a lower to a higher temperature. This work is
contributed by the motor of a heat pump. Heat flows from higher temperature to lower temperature. It is a natural or
spontaneous process. Any external energy is not required to happen. When heat moves from lower temperature to
higher temperature, it needs mechanical energy to happen. It is called non-spontaneous process. In doing so, work
should be done. Mechanical energy is necessary for this to occur. The Second Law of Thermodynamics is used here. It
says that heat will not at all move from a cold temperature to hot temperature items. The work is contributed to the motor
of the heat pump.
ACTIVITY
Activity 1: Fill Me!
A. Directions: Fill in the blanks with the best answers to complete the statements.
1. The change in the ______________ of a system is equivalent to the difference between the heat taken in by the
system and the work performed by the system.
2. _________ is the unit to express internal energy.
3. A process without gain or loss of heat is called _______________.
4. Heat flows commonly from higher temperature to lower temperature which is a ______________ process.
5. The second law of _____________ says that heat will not at all of itself move from a cold temperature to a hot
temperature.
B. TRUE OR FALSE. Read and analyze each statement carefully. Write HEAT if the statement is
accurate, and write TEMPERATURE if the information is false on the space before each number.
__________6. A heat engine is a device that turns thermal energy into mechanical work.
__________7. Using a heat engine, all heat can be converted into work.
__________8. Thermal pollution is caused by the pile-up exhaustion of heat coming from diesel, gasoline and
industrial engines.
__________9. Heat moves from a lower temperature to a higher temperature.
__________10. The spontaneous process occurs when heat flows from a lower temperature to a higher
temperature.
