A Carnot heat engine operates between two thermalreservoirs ( T1 > T2 ) to generate as much power as required asto drive a machine ( input power requirement of 30 kW ) plus todrive an ideal heat pump working between 2 temperature limits ( T3and T4 ) ( T3 > T4 ) . The pump takes 17 kW of heat from the lowtemperature reservoir where T1 = 1200K, T2= T3 =335 K, T4 = 278 K.Determine :
1. shaft work output of heat engine.
2. heat intake of heat engine.
2. heat delivered by the heat pump.
