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: (b)
Explanation:
Given
Original length of the rod is
Strain experienced is
Strain is the ratio of the change in length to the original length
Therefore, new length is given by (Considering the load is tensile in nature)
Thus, option (b) is correct.
Answer:
a) The mass flow rate of water is 14.683 kilograms per second.
b) The pressure difference across the pump is 245.175 kilopascals.
Explanation:
a) Let suppose that pump works at steady state. The mass flow rate of the water (), in kilograms per second, is determined by following formula:
(1)
Where:
- Pump power, in watts.
- Efficiency, no unit.
- Gravitational acceleration, in meters per square second.
- Hydrostatic column, in meters.
If we know that ,
,
and
, then the mass flow rate of water is:
The mass flow rate of water is 14.683 kilograms per second.
b) The pressure difference across the pump (), in pascals, is determined by this equation:
(2)
Where is the density of water, in kilograms per cubic meter.
If we know that ,
and
, then the pressure difference is:
The pressure difference across the pump is 245.175 kilopascals.
