A heat pump is a device that provides heat energy from a source of heat or `heat sink` to a destination. Heat pumps are designed to move thermal energy opposite to the direction of spontaneous heat flow by absorbing heat from a cold space and releasing it to a warmer one. A heat pump uses some amount of external power to accomplish the work of t.....

This is a device which can move heat energy from a colder object to a hotter one, but requiring an external energy source to do it. A fridge is an example of a heat pump. Due to the second law of thermodynamics, a heat pump can never be 100% efficient
