Question: ( 3 0 points ) ( a ) ( 1 5 points ) A heat engine draws in heat from a boiler and rejects 2

(30 points)
(a)(15 points) A heat engine draws in heat from a boiler and rejects 2 MW of heat to the surrounding environment. The heat engine's efficiency is rated at 33%. Determine the net power output from the heat engine, and the required heat input from the boiler.
(b)(15 points) A heat pump is found to draw 3 A of current from a 120 V receptacle and has a COP of 4.2. Determine the power required to operate the heat pump, and the corresponding amount of heat removed from the cold ambient.
HINT: I strongly suggest you draw diagrams similar to those shown in class, depicting the thermal reservoirs and energy transfers, to better visualize the problem.
