A building is maintained at a temperature T_h by means of an ideal heat pump. This operates like a refrigerator, but the objective is to deliver heat (IQ_h|) to the high tem- perature reservoir (the building) by drawing energy from a low temperature reservoir (a nearby river) at T_c. So, the COP is |Qh|/|W|], where |W| is the electrical energy used by the heat pump.
(a) Derive an expression for the COP of this ideal heat pump, which is based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics. Your expression should involve only the temperatures of the reservoirs.
