Question: 2 - The heat engine shown in the image is working between a 4 0 0 g h temperature reservoir and a 4 0 C

2- The heat engine shown in the image is working between a 400gh temperature reservoir and a 40C low temperature reservoir. 110 kW of thermal power is being transferred to the heat engine from the high temperature reservoir.
a) Find the output mechanical power and the efficiency of the heat engine, if 60 kW of thermal power is being transferred to low temperature reservoir. (5 points)
b) Find maximum efficiency a heat engine that can work between these two reservoirs. (3 points)
c) Find the increase in the output mechanical power (for the same 110 kW input thermal power), when a reversible cycle heat engine is used. (2 points)
 2- The heat engine shown in the image is working between
