A heat engine operates between 2 reservoirs at TH and 18oC. The heat engine receives 17,000 kJ/h from the high temperature reser
voir, and delivers half of its power output to drive a Carnot heat pump. The Carnot heat pump removes heat from the cold surroundings at 0oC and transfers it to a house which is maintained at 24oC. If the house is losing heat at a rate of 80,000 kJ/h, determine the temperature TH of the heat engine reservoir.

Answer:
ΔQ = 4930.37 BTu
Explanation:
given data
height h = 8ft
Δt = 8 hours
length L = 24 feet
R value = 16.2 hr⋅°F⋅ft² /Btu
inside temperature t1 = 68°F
outside temperature t2 = 16°F
to find out
number of Btu conducted
solution
we get here number of Btu conducted by this expression that s
......................1
here A is area that is = h × L = 8 × 24 = 1492 ft²
put here value we get
solve it we get
ΔQ = 4930.37 BTu
