The combustion of his fuel. diesel, reaches a temperature of 750°C, while waste heat is disposed to the atmosphere at 50°C. He, then connected a generator and a heat pump to the heat engine to check the amount of power being produced. Assume that the heat pump will be used to warm his room to 25°C, while the outside temperature is at 5°C. Lucas' rooms loses 85,000 kJ/hr of heat. And, 25% of the heat engine's power output goes to the heat pump. How much diesel (in kg) needs to be burned by the heat engine to maintain the temperature in Lucas' room?
