We wish to produce refrigeration at −30°C. A reservoir, shown in Fig P7.84, is available at 200°C and the ambient temperature is 30°C. Thus, work can be done by a cyclic heat engine operating between the 200°C reservoir and the ambient. This work is used to drive the refrigerator. Determine the ratio of the heat transferred from the 200°C reservoir to the heat transferred from the −30°C reservoir, assuming all processes are reversible.
