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.
A Carnot heat pump maintains a home at 23 C during the cold season. At an average of -2C outside temperature, the house loses heat at a rate of 60,000 kJ/h. If this heat pump consumes 6 kW of power during operation, calculate (a) how ling the heat pump an on that day; (b) the total heating costs, assuming an average price of P12.67/kWh for electricity.

Since Lucas is an engineer familiar with thermodynamics. He decided to create his own heat engine at home to avoid paying for electricity. He created a small, makeshift heat engine for trial. The combustion of his fuel. diesel, reaches a temperature of 750°C, while waste heat is disposed to the atmosphere at 50°C. He, then connected a generator and a heat pump to the heat engine to check the amount of power being produced. Assume that the heat pump will be used to warm his room to 25°C, while the outside temperature is at 5°C. Lucas' rooms loses 85,000 kJ/hr of heat. And, 25% of the heat engine's power output goes to the heat pump. How much diesel (in kg) needs to be burned by the heat engine to maintain the temperature in Lucas' room? Assume carnot heat engine and heat pump. If the natural gas has a heating value of 22,000 BTU/lb.

An inventor just invented a kind of heat engine that could operate at a maximum temperature of1000K and minimum temperature of 300K. This heat engine is used to drive a heat pump which extracts heat from the reservoir at 300 K. Its capacity is operating at a rate twice that at which the engine rejects heat to it. If the efficiency of the engine is 40% of the maximum possible and the COP of the heat pump is 50% of the maximum possible, what is the temperature of the reservoir to which the heat pump rejects heat? What is the rate of heat rejection from the heat pump if the rate of heat supply to the engine is 50 kW?
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?
