A reversible heat engine operates between two reservoirs: one at Th = 395.0°C and another at Te = 150°C. It goes through a cycle consisting of an adiabatic compression during which it ab- sorbs 125.0 J of heat energy, followed by an isothermal expansion at Th, followed by an adiabatic expansion, followed by an isothermal compression at Te. The output of the engine is used to run a reversible refrigerator operating between the same two reservoirs, that has a cycle consisting of an adiabatic expansion, followed by an isothermal expansion at Te, followed by an adiabatic com- pression, followed by an isothermal compression at Th. The output of the engine is used to run the refrigerator. d) What is the coefficient of performance of the refrigerator?
