QUESTION:

Problem 48HP

Find the power output and the low T heat rejection rate for a Carnot cycle heat engine that receives 6 kW at 250° C and rejects heat at 30°C, as in Problem 5.40.

Problem 5.40

Assume a cyclic machine that exchanges 6 kW with a 250°C reservoir and has

a. Q L = 0 kW, ˙W = 6 kW

b. ˙Q L = 6 kW, ˙W = 0 kW

and ˙Q L is exchanged with a 30°C ambient. What can you say about the processes in the two cases, a and b, if the machine is a heat engine? Repeat the question for the case of a heat pump.
