A Carnot heat engine receives heat at 750 K and rejects the waste heat to the environment at 300 K. The net work output of the heat engine is used to drive a Carnot refrigerator, whose COP is 6.14. If the heat removal rate from the refrigerated space is 6.6 kW, determine the rate of heat supply to the heat engine?
Two refrigerators M and N operate in series. The refrigerator M absorbs energy at the rate of 1 kW from a body at temperature 400 K and rejects energy as heat to a body at a temperature T. The refrigerator N absorbs the same quantity of energy which is rejected by the refrigerator N from the body at temperature T, and rejects energy as heat to a body at temperature 800 K. If both the refrigerators have the same C.O.P., what is the value temperature T?
