1-2) Suppose that a heat engine uses 100 J of heat energy and operates with 40% of its thermal efficiency. The work generated from the heat engine (you can calculate it easily!) is then used as an input work for heat pump to give heat to a room. Please suggest the minimum COP of heat pump that makes it worth. Otherwise, we may just use the original heat energy to heat the room.
