Question: A heat source (S_{1}) can supply (6000 mathrm{~kJ} / mathrm{min}) at (300^{circ} mathrm{C}) and another heat source (S_{2}) can supply (60,000 mathrm{~kJ} / mathrm{min}) at

A heat source \(S_{1}\) can supply \(6000 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{min}\) at \(300^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and another heat source \(S_{2}\) can supply \(60,000 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{min}\) at \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Which source will you choose to supply energy to a Carnot engine to produce a large amount of power if the surroundings are at \(27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ?
