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.

Determine the power output (hp) of the engine.arrow_forwardA Carnot heat pump is to be used to heat a house and maintain it at 25°C in winter.

- (c) The structure of a house is such that it loses heat at a rate of 5400 kJ/h per °C difference between the indoors and outdoors. A heat pump that requires a power input of 6 kW is used to maintain this house temperature at 21°C.
