Problem 3
A Carnot heat engine receives heat from a reservoir at 1500°F at a rate of 700 Btu/min and rejects
the waste heat to the ambient air at 75°F. The entire work output of the heat engine is used to
drive a refrigerator that removes heat from the refrigerated space at 5°F and transfers it to the same
ambient air at 75°F. Determine
(a) the maximum rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space, and
(b) the total rate of heat rejection to the ambient air.
