A heat transformer is a device that transfers a part of the heat, supplied to it at an intermediate temperature, to a high temperature reservoir while rejecting the remaining part to a low temperature heat sink. In such a heat transformer, $$100kJ$$ of heat is supplied at $$350$$ $$K.$$ The maximum amount of heat in $$kJ$$ that can be transferred to $$400K,$$ when the rest is rejected to a heat sink at $$300K$$ is

An irreversible heat engine extracts heat from a high temperature source at a rate of $$100kW$$ and rejects heat to a sink at a rate of $$50kW.$$ The entire work output of the heat engine is used to drive a reversible heat pump operating between a set of independent isothermal heat reservoirs at $${17^ \circ }C$$ and $${75^ \circ }C$$. The rate (in $$kW$$) at which the heat pump delivers heat to its high temperature sink is

Which of the following relationships is valid only for reversible process undergone by a closed system of simple compressible substance (neglect changes in kinetic and potential energy?

Which combination of the following statements is correct?

The incorporation of re-heater in a steam power plant.

$$P:$$ always increases the thermal efficiency of the plant.
$$Q:$$ always increases the dryness function of steam at condenser inlet.
$$R:$$ always increases the mean temperature of heat addition
$$S:$$ always increases the specific work output.
