Question: A Carnot engine operates between temperature levels of 3 9 7 C and 7 C and rejects 2 0 KJ / min to the environment.

A Carnot engine operates between temperature levels of 397C and 7C and rejects 20 KJ/min to the environment.
The total network output of the engine is used to drive heat pump which is supplied with heat from the environment at 7C and rejects heat to a home at 40C.
Determine:
a) the net work delivered by the engine in KJ/min
b) the heat supplied to the heat pump in KJ/min
c) the overall COP for the combined devices which is defined as the energy rejected to the home divided by the initial energy supplied.
