(b) An irreversible heat pump with COP of 2.4 is used to heat water to 80°C for cleaning purposes. This heat pump absorbs heat from surrounding at 30°C and received the entire power, W from a Carnot heat engine operating between 250°C and 30°C. The Carnot heat engine received 6.3 kW of heat from the high temperature source. i) Draw the schematic diagram of the above system. ii) Determine the power received by the heat pump, W from Carnot heat engine, kW. iii) Calculate the rate of heat supplied to the water by the heat pump, kW. iv) Determine the COP of the heat pump if it operates on a reversed Carnot cycle.
Round eveything to 4 decimal places. Saturated steam at 150°C is used as a working fluid for a device that supplies heat to a reservoir with a temperature of 250°C. Since the device is not 100% efficient, waste heat is produced to a sink of cooling water at 10°C. To be able to maintain the temperature in the reservoir, 2500 kJ of heat should be supplied, is this possible? Prove using entropy. Assume that the working fluid leaves as liquid water at 15°C.

Consider three reservoirs that are TH = 473.2 K, TL = 293.2 K and TI = 277.2 K. A Carnot heat engine can be reversed and used as either a heat pump or a refrigerator. In the case of a heat pump the heat flow to the higher temperature reservoir is the desired output and it is used to heat a room or building. In the case of the refrigerator the desired energy flow is the heat in from a region to be cooled. For the heat pump or refrigerator, the work input is provided by electricity. Efficiency of the Carnot engine is 38%. For this information answer the following questions: A room is maintained at a constant temperature of 20 C and has a heat loss of 20,000 W.
