A refrigerator increases the entropy of its hot reservoir at the same time as it decreases the entropy of its cold reservoir,but a heat engine does just the opposite.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A refrigerator transfers heat from a cold reservoir to a hot reservoir, increasing the entropy of the hot reservoir and decreasing the entropy of the cold reservoir. A heat engine transfers heat from a hot reservoir to a cold reservoir, increasing the entropy of the cold reservoir and decreasing the entropy of the hot reservoir.
