A reversible heat engine drives the heat pump and takes in heat from a thermal energy reservoir at 1113K and dumps the heat to a reservoir at 333K. The heat pump works on a Carnot cycle and absorbs heat from the thermal energy reservoir at 278K and rejects the heat to a reservoir at 333K. The heat engine is also being used to operate a machine which takes in 30 kW. If the rate of extraction of the heat pump from its initial reservoir is at 17 kJ/s, calculate the ff: - What is the rate of extraction of heat from the heat engine? - What is the rate of the rejection of heat from the 333K reservoir?

Question

A reversible heat engine drives the heat pump and takes in heat from a thermal energy reservoir at 1113K and dumps the heat to a reservoir at 333K. The heat pump works on a Carnot cycle and absorbs heat from the thermal energy reservoir at 278K and rejects the heat to a reservoir at 333K.The heat engine is also being used to operate a machine which takes in 30 kW. If the rate of extraction of the heat pump from its initial reservoir is at 17 kJ/s, calculate the ff:
- What is the rate of extraction of heat from the heat engine? 
- What is the rate of the rejection of heat from the 333K reservoir?
