    Both heat pump has same COP

    Explanation:

    Given that a reversible heat pump and a Carnot heat pump which is operating between the same temperature limits will have the same COP because the temperature limits are same, that is the source temperature and the sink temperature. Also because we know that a Carnot cycle is a totally reversible cycle. Therefore for a perfectly reversible Carnot cycle, the COP will be same for a reversible heat pump and a Carnot heat pump operating between two same thermal reservoirs.

    Thus, both heat pump will have same COP.
