'''An automobile engine produces 136 hp on the output shaft with a thermal efficiency of
30%. The fuel it burns gives 35 000 kJ/kg as energy release. Find the total rate of energy
rejected to the ambient and the rate of fuel consumption in kg/s.'''
#Variable Declaration:

temperature)?'''

'''Let us consider the heat engine, shown schematically in Fig. 7.25, that receives a heattransfer
rate of 1 MW at a high temperature of 550◦C and rejects energy to the ambient
surroundings at 300 K. Work is produced at a rate of 450 kW. We would like to know
how much energy is discarded to the ambient surroundings and the engine efficiency and
compare both of these to a Carnot heat engine operating between the same two reservoirs.'''

'''As one mode of operation of an air conditioner is the cooling of a room on a hot day, it
works as a refrigerator, shown in Fig. 7.26.Atotal of 4kWshould be removed from a room
at 24◦C to the outside atmosphere at 35◦C.We would like to estimate the magnitude of the
required work. To do this we will not analyze the processes inside the refrigerator, which
is deferred to Chapter 11, but we can give a lower limit for the rate of work, assuming it
is a Carnot-cycle refrigerator.'''
