(d) A heat engine operates by taking heat from a thermal reservoir at 1000°C and rejecting heat to a thermal reservoir at 30°C. Is this heat engine reversible, irreversible, or impossible if it produces 800 kW of work and rejects 200 kW of heat to the low temperature reservoir? Support your answer with calculations.

Conduction and Convection

When energy travels from one object to another it is said to have undergone heat transfer. Heat transfer is nothing but the transfer of thermal energy or internal energy from one thing to another, like e.g., when a vessel with water, kept on top of a burner, heats up because of the flame underneath it.
