Thermodynamic Processes and Cycles | PV Diagrams, Processes
There are two ways to tell a heat engine from a heat pump/refrigerator 1) If it is a cycle (returns to the place it starts on a PV diagram) if it progresses clockwise then it is a heat engine, counter-clockwise is a heat pump/refrigerator. 2) Heat engines …
Heat pump and refrigeration cycle - Wikipedia
Temperature–entropy diagram of the vapor-compression cycle. The vapor-compression cycle is used by many refrigeration, air conditioning, and other cooling applications and also within heat pump for heating applications.
Pressure-Volume Diagrams - The Physics Hypertextbook
Pressure-volume graphs are used to describe thermodynamic processes — especially for gases. Work, heat, and changes in internal energy can also be determined.
Thermodynamic cycle - Wikipedia
Cycles composed entirely of quasistatic processes can operate as power or heat pump cycles by controlling the process direction. On a pressure–volume (PV) diagram or temperature–entropy diagram, the clockwise and counterclockwise directions indicate power and …

(a) Schematic diagram showing heat transfer from a cold reservoir to a warm reservoir with a heat pump. The directions of W, Qh, and Qc are opposite what they would be in a heat engine. (b) PV diagram for a Carnot cycle similar to that in Figure 3 but reversed, following path ADCBA.
15.5 Applications of Thermodynamics: Heat Pumps and Refrigerators
Look for any system where the primary methods of transferring energy are heat and work. Heat engines, heat pumps, refrigerators, and air conditioners are examples of such systems. Identify the system of interest and draw a labeled diagram of the system showing energy flow.
