A reversible heat engine operates between two reservoirs at temperature for 600 ºC and 40
ºC. The engine drives a reversible refrigerator which operates between reservoirs at
temperature of 40 ºC and -20 ºC .The heat transfer to the heat engine is 2000 kJ and the
1. network output of the combined engine refrigerator plant is 360 kJ.

(a) Evaluate the heat transfer to the refrigerator and the net heat transfer to the reservoir
at 40 ºC.
(b) Reconsider (a) given that the efficiency of the heat engine and the COP of the
refrigerator are each 40 % of their maximum possible values.

What is the minimum amount of work necessary to convert the water back into ice at -20
ºC. Cp of ice is 2.093 kJ/kg K and latent heat of fusion of ice is 333.3 kJ/kg
