3. A reversible heat engine operates between two reservoirs at 827oC and 27oC. Engine drives a
Carnot refrigerator maintaining –13oC and rejecting heat to reservoir at 27oC. Heat input to the
engine is 2000 kJ and the net work available is 300 kJ. How much heat is transferred to refrigerant
and total heat rejected to reservoir at 27oC?

7. Three reversible engines of Carnot type are operating in series as shown between the limiting
temperatures of 1100 K and 300 K. Determine the intermediate temperatures if the work output
from engines is in proportion of 3 : 2 : 1.
