In order to maintain the temperature of the house at 20oC they would need 10 kW when the outside temperature is 273 K. This heat flow is usually obtained directly by burning gas or oil. Calculate the power required if the 10 kW heat flow were supplied by operating a reversible engine with the house as the upper reservoir and the outside surroundings as the lower reservoir so that the power was used only to perform work needed to operate the engin
