3. A completely reversible heat pump produces heat at a

rate of 300 kW to warm a house maintained at 25°C.

The exterior air, which is at 9°C, serves as the source.

Calculate the rate of entropy change of the two

reservoirs and determine if this heat pump satisfies the

second law of thermodynamics, according to the

increase of entropy principle. [MO7]
