โฆ Synopsis
closed-cycle set of chemical reactions can serve as a heat pump if endothermic reactions receive heat at intermediate temperatures and exothermic reactions release heat at higher and lower temperatures. We show that such reaction sets form unique geometric patterns on the free enerpy-temperature diagram. The development of chemical heat pumps is shown to be a problem in pattern recognition.

A simplified mathematical model has been used to compute the performance of an absorption heat pump-transformer (HPT). This two-stage apparatus, which consists of a heat transformer driven by low-temperature cooling water and of a heat pump driven by high-temperature steam, has been compared with a
