C and produces
100 kJ of work. !ns." 1#2 kJ$
2. ! Carnot engine recei%es &.5 kJ from a source at 2'0

C and during the cyc(e performs ).1 kJ of
work. !t what temperature is heat re*ected+
3. ! heating de%ice can supp(y heat at the rate of 100 k, and at a temperature of -00 . as a
resu(t of the combustion of the fue(. ! nearby ri%er is accessib(e, at a temperature of 300 ., to or
from which an un(imited amount of heat can be supp(ied or re*ected. Determine the work output
of an idea( heat engine operating between these two heat reser%oirs.
/f now the output from the heat engine is used to dri%e a heat pump, which uses the ri%er as its
source, determine the ma0imum rate at which heat cou(d be de(i%ered to a process at 500 ..
