Some car driving 60 mph on the highway uses 8 L of fuel per
hour. The heating value HV of the fuel is about 42.4 MJ/kg and the
density is 750 kg/m. If the thermal efficiency of the engine
is 25%, then what is the power available at the crankshaft axis in
bhp?
For each of the cases below determine if the heat engine
satisfies the first law, and if it does, if it satisfies the
second law, and if it does, whether it is now a useful heat
engine.

now a useful heat pump or refrigeration cycle.

For the last case, in case you conclude that the second law is
violated, state which of the two formulations is violated.
Water at 25C and 100 kPa enters an isobaric heat exchanger
at a rate of 5 kg/s and is heated into saturated steam without
droplets in it. The heat is provided by a heat pump with a
coefficient of performance of 3. Determine the amount of power
required by the heat pump.
