What are the difference between heat pump, heat engine and refrigerator?
Can you explain the difference between a heat pump, a heat engine and a refrigerator?
Sure thing! A heat pump is a device that moves heat from one location to another using a compressor and a circulating refrigerant. A heat engine, on the other hand, converts the energy from heat into mechanical work, often used to power things like cars and generators. A refrigerator is similar to a heat pump, but works in reverse to remove heat from a cooler space and release it to a warmer area.
