Answer:

Heat pump is a device which is used to maintain the system at a temperature more than the atmospheric temperature.

<em>For example</em> if you need to maintain the system at a temperature more than the room temperature<em> (say 50° C), </em>the heat has to be supply continuously by means of supplying an external work on the system. Otherwise the heat easily escapes from the system due to temperature gradient between system and surroundings.

According to the "Thermodynamic  II law, the heat always transfer from high temperature body to low temperature body without aid of external energy, but the heat can also be transfer from low temperature body to high temperature body by means of some external energy.  

From given figure, To maintain the system at temperature 50° C, you need to do external work, because some energy always lost to the surroundings

What are some actions that can be taken to remedy air pollution? Select all that apply. Run your air conditioner at a higher set
Sati [7]

Answer:  Government passing regulatory laws

Car emissions testing

Carpooling and less driving overall

Air pollution results when a mixture of particles and gases that can reach in harmful concentrations both outdoors as well as indoors. This increase in concentration can lead to rise in the temperatures and global warming it is also related with the health hazards. Soot, smoke, pollen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and methane are the examples of the common pollutants.

Government passing regulatory laws: The government can ban some of the fossil fuels to prevent air pollution, and some vehicles which are likely to emit more partially combustible gases.

Car emission testing: Nowadays, cars and other vehicles are equipped with catalytic converters which converts the uncombustible gaseous products into less harmful gases which are emitted from the vehicle. The car gas emission testing should be performed to either allow a vehicle or ban the movement of the vehicle.

Carpooling and less driving overall: Carpooling is the sharing of one vehicle with more than one individual. This will prevent the need of others to drive another vehicle. The less the number of vehicles on the road the lesser will be the emission of gases and less pollution will be caused.
