Which outcome occurs when the ideal Carnot cycle operates in reverse?

💡 Explanation

A reversed Carnot cycle implements a heat pump due to the reversed thermodynamic process; rather than producing work, it transfers heat absorbing it from a cold reservoir causing cooling, therefore heat is pumped, rather than a zero work effect.
