2.b. A heat engine operating between two reservoirs at 1000 K and 300 K is used to drive a heat pump which extracts from the reservoir at 300 K, at a rate twice that at which the engine rejects heat to it. If the efficiency of the engine is 40% of the maximum possible and the coefficient of performance of the heat pump is 50% of the maximum possible make calculations for the temperature of the reservoir to which the heat pump rejects heat. Also workout the rate of heat rejection from the heat pump if the rate of supply of heat to the engine is 50 kW.
