Question: A heat engine is driven by 2 kg / s hot air at 1 2 0 0 K that exits the heat exchanger at 4

A heat engine is driven by 2 kg/s hot air at 1200 K that exits the heat exchanger
at 400 K. The heat engine cycle has heat rejection at 325 K and a first law efficiency
of 0.30. The heat rejection is done in a heat exchanger that uses ambient air at 20\deg C
to cool it. Use the exergy equation to find the exergy destruction in a) the low T heat
exchanger and b) the heat engine plus the high T heat exchanger.
