Question:

In a remote location, you run a heat engine to provide the power to run a refrigerator. The input to the heat engine is 800 K and the low T is 400 K; it has an actual efficiency equal to half of that of the corresponding Carnot unit. The refrigerator has TL = −10◦C and TH = 35◦C, with a COP that is one-third that of the corresponding Carnot unit. Assume a cooling capacity of 2 kW is needed and find the rate of heat input to the heat engine.
