As per the Carnot cycle efficiency, the thermal efficiency of heat engines increases with an increase in the temperature of the heat source. An inventor has proposed to use a heat pump to transfer the heat from the source to a high-temperature thermal medium before being used in the heat engine. The inventor has claimed this arrangement increases thermal efficiency. Evaluate the inventor's claim through the thermodynamic principles.
