Question: A Carnot cycle heat engine receives heat from a source at 1500C and rejects the waste heat to a sink at 400C. (a) If

A Carnot cycle heat engine receives heat from a source at 1500C and rejects the waste heat to a sink at 400C. (a) If heat is supplied to this engine at a rate of 200 kJ/s, determine the maximum power this heat engine can prouce. (b) If the source temperature is raised 30%, what is the new maximum themal effciency keeping the same sink temperature? (c) If the given thermal efficiency is 75%, determine whether the cycle operates reversibly, irreversibly or is impossible. Please answer this question for part (b) as well.
