Abstract

The relationship between optimal COP (coefficient of performance) and heating load of a three-heat-reservoir endoreversible heat pump (including both temperature amplifier and heat amplifier cycles) with non-linear heat transfer (phenomenological law in irreversible thermodynamics) is derived. The results presented in this paper are different from those obtained with a linear heat transfer law. The relationships provide a theoretical basis for developing and utilizing a variety of three-heat-reservoir heat pumps.
