Question: A heat engine operating between two reservoirs at 1 0 0 K and 3 0 0 K is used to drive heat pump which extracts

A heat engine operating between two reservoirs at 100 K and 300 K is used to drive heat pump which extracts heat from reservoir at 300 K at the rate twice that at which engine rejects heat to it. If the efficiency of the engine is 40% of the maximum possible and the coefficient of performance of heat pump is 50% of the maximum possible, make calculation for the temperature of the reservoir to which the heat pump rejects heat. Also work out the rate of heat rejection from heat pump if the rate of supply of heat to the engine is 50 kW
