Answer

$\frac{dQ_H}{dt} = 4664.17 W$

Work Step by Step

To find the rate of heat input, $\frac{dQ_H}{dt}$, we need to first identify the efficiency, $\epsilon = \frac{T_H -T_L}{T_H} $ $\epsilon = \frac{373 K -333 K}{373K} $ $\epsilon = 0.1072$ The rate of heat input is $\frac{dQ_H}{dt} = \frac{1}{\epsilon} \frac{dW}{dt} $ And $ \frac{dW}{dt} $ is the power which is 500W $\frac{dQ_H}{dt} = \frac{1}{0.1072}500W $ $\frac{dQ_H}{dt} = 4664.17 W$
