Answer

$\dot{Q}_H=11,560\ kJ/h$

Work Step by Step

For the heat pump: $COP_{HP}=\dfrac{1}{1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}}$ $T_L=2°C,\ T_H=22°C$ $COP_{HP}=14.75$ $COP_{HP}=\dot{Q}_H/\dot{W}_i$ $\dot{Q}_H=62,000\ kJ/h$ $\dot{W}_i=4203\ kJ/h$: this is half of the output of the engine For the engine: $\eta=1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}$ $T_L=293\ K,\ T_H=1073\ K$ $\eta=0.727$ $\eta = \dot{W}_e/\dot{Q}_H$ $\dot{W}_e=8406\ kJ/h$ $\dot{Q}_H=11,560\ kJ/h$
