Problem 1: Two reversible refrigeration cycles are arranged in series. The first cycle receives energy by heat transfer from a cold reservoir at temperature Tc and rejects energy by heat transfer to a reservoir at an intermediate temperature T greater than Te. The second cycle receives energy by heat transfer from the reservoir at temperature T and rejects energy by heat transfer to a higher-temperature reservoir at TH.

Operating in series are two reversible heat pumps. Heat transfer gives energy to the first cycle from a cold reservoir at 105 K and rejects energy by heat transfer to a reservoir at an intermediate temperature T greater than 105 K. The second cycle receives energy by heat transfer from the reservoir at T and rejects energy by heat transfer to a higher-temperature reservoir at 1200 K. If the heat pump cycles have the same co-efficient of performance, calculate: Low...
