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

With a diameter that's 11 times larger than Earth's, _______ is the largest planet.
Svetradugi [14.3K]
With a diameter that's 11 times larger than Earth's, Jupiter is the largest planet.

Jupiter is the biggest planet in the solar system. No wonder ancient astronomers named it after Jupiter, King of the Roman gods. More than 1,000 planets the size of Earth could fit inside Jupiter. A tunnel through Jupiter would be 11 times longer than a tunnel through Earth. A trip around Jupiter equator would take 6 times longer than a trip around the Earth's equator.

As an tempature decreases what happens to the rate of radiation?
Firlakuza [10]
As the temperature decreases, the rate of radiation goes down, but the radiation exists as long as the temperature is above the absolute zero, which is actually 0 Kelvin. 0 Kelvin equals -273°C or -460°F. All objects in the world radiate if above that temperature.
