HW #6, P7 - Carnot HE Used to Drive a Carnot Refrigerator - 6 pts

A Carnot Heat Engine receives heat from a reservoir at 900oC at a rate of 800 kJ/min and rejects the waste heat to the ambient air at 27oC. The entire work output of the heat engine is used to drive a refrigerator that removes heat from the refrigerated space at -5oC and rejects heat to the same ambient air at 27oC. Determine:

a.) the maximum rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space
b.) the total rate of heat rejection to the ambient air
