1. An engine produces work equivalent to 80 kW with an efficiency of 40 percent. Determine the


heat transfer rate to and from the engine.
2. A heat engine develops 10 kW power when receiving heat at the rate of 2250 kJ/min. Evaluate
the corresponding rate of heat rejection from the engine and its thermal efficiency.
3. A heat engine working on Carnot cycle converts one fifth of the heat input into work. When
the temperature of the sink is reduced by 80 oC, the efficiency gets doubled. Calculate the
temperature of the source and sink.
4. A reversible heat engine delivers 0.6 kW power and rejects heat energy to a reservoir at 300 K
at the rate of 24 kJ/min. Make calculations for the engine efficiency and the temperature of the
thermal reservoir supplying heat to the engine.
5. A heat engine working on Carnot cycle converts one fifth of the heat input into work. When
the temperature of the sink is reduced by 80 oC, the efficiency gets doubled. Calculate the
temperature of the source and sink.
6. A domestic food refrigerator maintains a temperature of -10 oC while the atmospheric
temperature is 30 oC. The heat leakage into the freezer is estimated to be continuous rate of 2
kJ/sec. Determine the least power required to pump out this heat continuously.
7. A system is originally at 250 K, and a thermal reservoir at 125 K is available. Determine
the maximum amount of work that can be recovered as the system is cooled down to the
temperature of the reservoir.
8. A reversible heat engine operates between 875 K and 310 K and drives a reversible
refrigerator operating between 310 K and 255 K. The engine receives 2000 kJ of heat and the net
work output from the arrangement equals 350 kJ. Calculate the cooling effect of the refrigerator.
9. A Carnot heat engine received 125 J of heat from its higher temperature 200 oC reservoir and
100 J to its sink. Determine the temperature of the sink.
10. A heat pump working on the reversed Carnot cycle takes in heat from a reservoir at 5 oC and
delivers heat at reservoir at 60 oC. The heat pump is driven by a reversible heat engine which
takes in heat from a reservoir at 840 oC and rejects heat to a reservoir at 60 oC. The reversible
heat engine also drives a machine that absorbs 30 kW. If the heat pump extracts 20.21 kJ/s from
5 oC reservoir. Determine the followings:
(i) The rate of heat supply from 840 oC source.
(ii) The rate of heat rejection to the 60 oC sink from the heat engine.
