Consider a system where the work generated by a Carnot heat engine is used to drive a Carnot refrigerator. The Carnot heat engine operates with a source at \(900^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and a sink at \(27^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). The Carnot refrigerator removes heat from the cooled space at \(0^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) at a rate of 30 kW and rejects heat to the same environment at \(27^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). Determine (a) the rate of heat supplied to the heat engine and (b) the rate of heat rejected by the heat engine to the environment.
