A Carnot heat engine can be reversed and used as either a heat pump or a refrigerator. In the case of a heat pump the heat flow to the higher temperature reservoir is the desired output and it is used to heat a room or building. In the case of the refrigerator the desired energy flow is the heat in from a region to be cooled. For the heat pump or refrigerator, the work input is provided by electricity. For this information answer the following questions: a) Calculate the Carnot Efficiency of a heat engine that operates between TH and TL. b) A room is maintained at a constant temperature of 20 C and has a heat loss of 20,000 W.
