Question 6.11) A Carnot heat engine receives heat at 900 K and rejects the waste heat to the
environment at 300 K. The entire work output of the heat engine is used to drive a Carnot
refrigerator that removes heat from the cooled space at -15oC at a rate of 250 kJ/min and rejects
it to the same environment at 300 K. Determine
(a) the rate of heat supplied to the heat engine (Answer: 61.1 kJ/min)
(b) the total rate of heat rejection to the environment (Answer: 311 kJ/min
