β¦ Synopsis
The operation of a three-heat-reservoir heat pump is viewed as a production process with exergy as its output. The relations between the optimal pro"t and COP (coe$cient of performance), and the COP bound at the maximum pro"t of the heat pump are derived based on a general heat transfer law. The results provide a theoretical basis for developing and utilizing a variety of heat pumps. The focus of this paper is to search the compromised optimization between economics (pro"t) and the utilization factor (COP) for "nite-time endoreversible thermodynamic cycles.
