Question:

A furnace, shown in Fig.P5.115, can deliver heat, QH1, at TH1, and it is proposed to use this to drive a heat engine with a rejection at Tatm instead of direct room heating. The heat engine drives a heat pump that delivers QH2 at Troom using the atmosphere as the cold reservoir. Find the ratioQH2/QH1 as a function of the temperatures. Is this a better set up than direct room heating from the furnace?
