A heat engine operates between two reservoirs at 800°C and 20°C. One half of the work output of the heat engine is used to drive a Carnot heat pump that removes heat from the cold surroundings at 2°C and transfers it to a house maintained at 22°C.

A heat engine operates between two reservoirs at 800 and 20oC. Onehalf of the work output of the heat engine is used to drive a Carnot heatpump that removes heat from the cold surrounding at 2oC and transfersit to a house maintained at 22oC.If the house is losing heat at a rate of 62,000 kJ/h,Determine:a) The minimum rate of heat supply (kJ/h) to the heat enginerequired to keep the house at 22oC. b) The thermal efficiency of the heat engine, if the rate of heatsupply to the heat engine is 15,000 kJ/h. c) The total amount of entropy change of the surrounding by takinginto account both the heat engine and Carnot heat pump for the casesof i) and ii), respectively. d) The cyclic entropy change of the heat engine for the cases of i) andii), respectively.
Answer question 1 and 3
A heat engine has a thermal efficiency of 70%. During each cycle the engine does 400J of work. What is the magnitude of waste heat rejected to the low temp reservoir?
Please I need solutions to this questions
The thermal efficiency of a Carnot heat engine is 30%. If the engine is reversed in operation to work as a heat pump with same operating conditions then what will be the COP for heat pump? (B) 2.33 (D) Can't be calculate (A) 0.30 (C) 3.33
1. An inventor claims to have invented a heat engine that receives 750kJ of heat from a source at 400K and produces 250kJ of net work while rejecting the waste heat to a sink at 300K. Is this a reasonable claim? Why?
A large heat pump should upgrade 4 MW of heat at 65 C to be delivered as heat at 145 C. What is the minimum amount of work input that will drive this?
A CARNOT heat engine receives heat from a reservoir at 900°C at a rate of 800kJ/min and rejects the waste heat to the ambient air at 27°C. All the power produced by the thermal engine is used to act as a refrigerator that removes heat from the refrigerated space at -5°C and transfers it to the same ambient air at 27°C. Determine a) the maximum rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space and b) the total rate of heat rejection to the ambient air.
A heat pump with a COP of 3.2 is used to heat a perfectly sealed house (no air leaks). The entire mass within the house (air, furniture, etc.) is equivalent to 1200 kg of air. When running, the heat pump consumes electric power at a rate of 5 kW. The temperature of the house was 7°C when the heat pump was turned on. If heat transfer through the envelope of the house (walls, roof, etc.) is negligible, the length of time the heat pump must run to raise the temperature of the entire contents of the house to 22°C is (a) 13.5 min (b) 43.1 min (c) 138 min (d) 18.8 min (e) 808 min
