In an area, heat is supplied at a heat engine with a temperature of 700°C, while waste heat is disposed at 60°C. Then, a generator is connected together with a heat pump to the heat engine to check the amount of power being produced. If the heat pump will warm the area at 25°C, while its outside temperature is at 10°C. The area now loses 80,000 kJ/hr of heat. And, 20% of the heat engine’s power output will go to the heat pump. How much needs to be burned by the heat engine to maintain the temperature in the area? Assuming a carnot heat engine and heat pump.
