Question

A reversible heat pump delivers heat at a rate of 100 kW to warm a house maintained at 20°C. The exterior air, which is at -5 °C, serves as the

cool reservoir. Please calculate the rate of entropy change of the hot and cool reservoirs, respectively, as well of as the entire heat pump system. Please also check and justify if this heat pump satisfies the increase of entropy principle.
